Tiktaalik was the name that the Intuits gave the creature that Shubin and his team found in the Arctic Circle. The fossil was the transformative creature that Shubin had been looking for. It had characteristics of both a fish and an amphibian. It was determined that the Tiktaalik hopped from puddle to puddle and had eyes on the top of his head so that it could look ahead for danger as opposed to a fish that had eyes on either side of its head to watch for prey.
