Ultimate Shakeface

Examine these pictures. According to the British Zoological and Archaeological Society, these two photos constitute incontrovertible proof that both of these creatures are descended from the same primitive mammal ancestor: a small, tree-dwelling, shrew-like creature that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. Just imagine him: sitting on a branch, catching primitive insects solely for sport, defecating out of a primitive cloaca, and giving the shakeface to female dinoshrews in a complex courtship ritual.
