Where is Tiktaalik and is it open to be viewed by the public?
Key finds, especially if they are rare specimen, are not usually themselves put on public display. Rather, casts are made and distributed to researchers and musea around the world, while the fossils themselves are kept secure in laboratoria and archives, in a controlled climate. Casts of Tiktaalik may be found in various natural history musea, such as the Harvard Museum of Natural History.
There are not fossils of transitional forms or missing links is true or false?
False, there are many transitional forms in the fossil record. Osteolepis Eusthenopteron Panderichthys Tiktaalik Elginerpeton Obruchevichthys Ventastega Acanthostega Ichthyostega Hynerpeton Tulerpeton Pederpes Eryops Pedopenna Anchiornis Archaeopteryx Confuciusornis Ardipithecus ramidus Australopithecus afarensis Australopithecus africanus Australopithecus anamensis Australopithecus garhi Australopithecus aethiopicus Australopithecus boisei Australopithecus robustus Homo habilis Homo rudolfensis To name a few.

What does the tiktaalik fish eat?
food
Is the tiktaalik a vertebrate?
yes tiktallik is a vetebrate
Why were Tiktaalik fossils found in the arctic even though the fish was thought to be from tropical locals?
Because at the time of Tiktaalik's experience (approximately 375 million years ago) in the Ellesmere Island was experiencing tropical climate.
Was Tiktaalik one of the first fish to walk on land?
It depends on your definition of what it means to "walk". From fossil evidence we know that Tiktaalik favored shallow habitats close to land and that it could very easily support itself against the force of gravity. So it is at least conceivable that Tiktaalik was capable of pulling itself up and out of the water when it needed to. But whether you would call this "walking" is a matter of definition.With this provision in mind... Was Tiktaalik one of the first fish to amble in some manner on land? Quite possibly, yes.
What is the current status of Tiktaalik?
Tiktaalik, once touted as a proven ''missing link" is now regarded as an evolutionary ''dead end'', thanks to the recent discovery in Poland of tetropod tracks dated some 18Ma years older.
Do crocodile have any rudimentary gills because they were evolved by a fish named tiktaalik?
Regardless of the presumed relationship to tiktaalik, you will find gill slits to be present in all vertebrates. In reptiles, the slits would not persist past the embryonic stage but, the crocodiles' jaws were derived from the gill arches. Look up "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny."

Does Tiktaalik Roseae serve as evidence for evolution?
Tiktaalik's fin bones were not connected to its main skeleton, and so could not have supported its weight out of water. And the similarity between species could also reflect common design. Answer Isn't the modern mudskipper evidence enough? Answer No. Recent discovery of the prints of a four-footed animal that dates in evolutionary terms at 18 million years earlier than Tiktaalik have forced scientists to reconsider their earlier assumption that Tiktaalik represented a missing link. Answer Tiktaalik serves as simply another transitional form linking the evolution between two groups of animals, akin to Archaeopteryx. It has become landmark but more work remains to be done. As new fossils are uncovered Tiktaalik will be likely be moved around the evolutionary tree.
