Science in Seconds - Whale evolution

Science in Seconds Know Everything RUMOURS - Whale Evolution Torah Kachur: Whales have pelvises. Pelvises are for anchoring legs. Whales don't have legs. Dumb. The whale pelvis is an evolutionary artifact, a leftover from its days as a walking, breathing animal on land. Mounting evidence suggest that whales evolved from split-hooved ancestors. In other words, hungry, hungry hippos. Obviously, hippos are hippos, and whales are whales. Now, with the transition from land-dwelling to sea-dwelling mammals likely occurred over millions of years, starting about 50 million years ago. And probably, these ancestral hippos slowly preferred the water more and more, because they had evolved a new niche. More access to food, or escape from predators. This evidence for evolution? The existence of a whale pelvis for one, the presence of primitive whale fossils showing feet-first birthing, like hippos, although now whales birth head-first. And the fact that whales are mammals is a pretty good indication too. I mean, creating an air-breathing sea creature is really dumb. And if I was the flying spaghetti monster, it would hardly be my proudest moment. Courtesy of Science in Seconds – All rights reserved Only for educational/non-profit purposes.
