Teletubbies

Teletubbies were a species of moderately intelligent land-faring mammals in the genus Delphinus. Despite showing outward signs of simian ancestry, evidence suggests that their earliest land-faring ancestors branched off of a species Delphinidae in the late- Pliocene near the Eastern coast of what is now China. All that is known about the species was recovered from a set of VHS tapes on the coast of Shanghai in 1876. The tapes were found in a highly durable crystalline-carbon black box similar to that which grace modern aircraft, but their usage was not recognized by archaeologists until the development of the VHS player in 1977. It is believed the Teletubbies had developed one of the first advanced civilizations on Earth before facing an extinction event in the Mesozoic, approximately one million years BP.

The Teletubbies use of spoken language is considered by some evolutionary-biologists as evidence for the hot-meat-brain hypothesis which proposes humans developed language only after eating hot meat which was denser in calories and thus supported larger, more energy consumptive brains. Teletubbies are seen eating "tubby-custard" in many occasions on the recovered VHS tapes which is believed to be an instance of calorically dense hot-meat.
