There are also other recent blog-posts about whale evolution, and I´ll soon publish one about Dorudon and its lesser known relatives, and later one about Basilosaurus and its closer relatives as well.

Rudimentäre Beinchen halt. die sind niedlich, aber ich muss mir das grad so vorstellen: Er streckt seinen Kopf aus dem Wasser, springt, und dann auf einmal die kleinen Hinterbeinchen. pffff
