What's the animal in the origin pic and could it really run on the ocean floor?
Whoa, I had no idea that they were water, to land, and then back to water.
Fossil hunters have discovered the remains of the earliest ancestor of the modern whale: a small deer-like animal that waded in lagoons and munched on vegetation.
The latest discovery, named Indohyus, is the first whale ancestor known to have lived on land.
The first whales, Pakicetidae, emerged around 50m years ago and resembled land mammals rather than the giant marine creatures of today. These evolved into large, powerful coastal whales, or Ambulocetidae, that had big feet and strong tails. Later, whales lost their hind limbs and hair and developed powerful tail fins and flippers.
That last part is convergent evolution for water movement.
Some current whale species still have internal bones which are vestigial legs.
Whales are just water rats
The whales eating plankton are more like water roombas
Nothing is can ever beat reality for pure insanity. Fiction is more entertaining, but only because it is obliged to make sense to us.
Chickens did not evolve naturally, we created them through selective breeding. The wild fowl they come from are much more nimble and beautiful.
Fluffy pants are beautiful thank you.
Congratulations! Your Wolf evolved into a Pug!
I wanna evolve like Digimon so I can be in a band and then turn into a spaceship.
Those trainers must be millions of years old humans still have fully transitioned from fish to robot and we're at least like idk 12 yo.
