Secondarily Plantigrade Limbs
So, this came about when I was attempting to construct create a unified Kaiju universe, and wondering about a hypothetical evolutionary path of Godzilla. However, I figured that it could also open up more possibilities when building hypothetical other worlds of mine.
Sometimes, in biology, a feature becomes too derived to reasonably revert i.e. fingers in birds. With that being said, however, is it possible for a creature with digitigrade limbs to re-evolve Plantigrade limbs? If it is possible, are there any real life examples, and what would the circumstances most likely be?
Any answers would be greatly appreciated.
