You should read up on the Tiktaalik. It is a relatively new discovery in 2008. It show that there was any evolutionary step.

I think that's what I meant. The legs weren't as developed as I remembered them but neither were they an adaptation after going on land. So the image is right after all, I just underestimated the limbs in the picture and overestimated the limbs of the transitional creature I learned almost a decade ago (so still after 2008). Thanks!
