Secondary aquatic animals are those whose ancestors, in the process of evolution, first came out of water to land, and then returned back to water. They belong to the most different taxonomic groups, these are insects and vertebrates, and molluscs. What is the common feature of all these animals, according to which is it safe to say that they are secondary water?
Secondary aquatic animals in the process of evolution returned back to the water element, despite the fact that they initially adapted to existence on land.
