Extinct mammal-like reptiles that evolved into mammals
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to transform your cluttered living room into a cozy, functional space. This process of gradually changing your room from one state to another is similar to how therapsids, which were once mammal-like reptiles, evolved over millions of years into the mammals we see today. Just like how you might replace an old couch with a new one or add a coffee table to better suit your needs, therapsids slowly adapted and changed their features—like developing warm-bloodedness or hair—until they evolved into fully-fledged mammals, transforming their 'living room' to fit a new lifestyle.
