In the search for a missing evolutionary link to modern whales, scientists have come up with an unlikely land cousin -- a raccoon-sized creature with
the body of a small deer.
Scientists have long known that whales had ancestors that walked on land. Now a team lead by Hans Thewissen of Northeastern Ohio Universities Colleges
of Medicine and Pharmacy have pieced together a series of intermediate fossils that trace the whale's evolutionary journey from land to sea.
Just an interesting theory. I can just imagine those Japanese whalers patting their thighs and saying 'here boy! C'mon!'
Makes me wonder where elephants came from. Mice?
