Thank you for your interest in my little pets!


>Is there a research group at Oslo working on this kind of thing

No, it's just me doing it in my spare time. I have showed the
project to the paleontologists here (prof. David Bruton etc.),
but they don't seem to catch on to the idea.


>is work currently in progress on the "Further Research"

Well, I hope to do these things soon, but haven't got much time
I'm afraid. Right now I'm trying to get the creatures to evolve
"Helminthoides" and similar structures, but they are rather
unwilling to cooperate ...


Again thank you for showing interest. I would appreciate it
if we could keep in touch, and I'll report to you if I do
any progress.
