Aussies and Ecuadorians

Post by Wai »

Does anyone know if Aussies and Ecuadorians are related? I've had a chat with KaliSharai, and we think they're related closely somehow. Both have the same shape of eyes and body shape, only that they're different colours and Aussies have PP-like skins. Any ideas?

Maybe they are... They did look sort of like Es, but at a glance, they also looked sort of like Cav's. Aussies are cute. I wish they had them over here, in the USA. Too bad you guys don't get Ruggies, they are great.

I'm not sure at all Wai,whether E's and Aussies are related or not. Have been wondering alot about it though.... Maybe someone years ago introduced E's to Australia or vice-versa.
I wonder how long hermit crabs have been in existence around the world?

I think that all crabs are realted... they are like cats and dogs... all related but different breeds and stuff.

Yeah, I believe all lifeforms came from the one thing and evolved as millions of years past.

i think they evolve as their environment changes.
