A few years ago, a paleontologist expedition led by Professor Philip gingerich of the University of Michigan in the United States unearthed some strange fossil remains of ancient whales in the foothills of the Himalayas in Asia and Pakistan. After years of careful study, it was recently proved to be an ancient four-legged land whale, thus putting forward the theory that land whales once appeared on the earth. However, many paleontologists are dubious about this. They think that according to the literature, all whales live in water, and it is really doubtful whether some ancient terrestrial whale fossils discovered by gingerich and others are true, because scientists sometimes have deviations when identifying a novel specimen.
The remains of ancient whale fossils excavated by gingerich and others have a history of 50 million years. It is a part of the skull, including: several teeth; A well-preserved middle ear was measured to be 1.8 ~ 2.4m in length and157.5kg in weight. Wolf-shaped snout, with several pointed triangular teeth on one palate. Based on the study of these fossil specimens, they speculated that this ancestor ancient whale first lived on land, and then gradually moved to live near the coast, feeding on animal meat and fish. Finally, it was attracted by the rich fish along the coast, which prompted them to gradually approach the ocean, changed their living habits and morphological structure, and turned the ocean into their hometown.
