Description
Here's a new future animalMeet the Porray
Scientific name: Plateophocoena Mantaroides
Size: 15 - 25 feet long, weighs up to 500 lbs and a "wingspan" up to 10 - 20 feet
Feeds on: fish and crustaceans
Lives: 50 million years hence along the coasts of North America, Europe and Asia.
The porray is a ray-like decendant of the modern day harbour porpoise, which is quite numerous in the seas surrounding the continents in the northen hemisphere
To move more efficiently through the water, the porray has body that is quite similar those of rays and are even able to "fly" short distances above the water.
The colour of the porray blends well with the water it lives in, so it can't be spotted by it's prey or it's predators. Like their porpoise ancestors, they still retain their sonar to locate it's prey.
These strange cetaceans are known to be domesticated by the dolphinoids and are used for transportation.
I hope you guys like this new creature ^___^

I like the "future animals", I saw some documentary about that.
Did you invented this one? It's beautiful, a little... "fairy"...

Nice but I highly doubt that porpoises will make it into the future.

You never know, right? Humanity could've found a way to protect at least some species of dolphins and porpoises from extinction in between now and 50 million years in the future.
