The sea-dwelling creature known as the whale may have evolved from a land animal. The creatures name is Indohyus, and from fossils, scientists have learned that it has similarities to water dwelling cetaceans. It is said to resemble a long-tailed deer without antlers. The 48 billion year old animal is said to be the ancestor of the whale. Though this creature is fairly small, researchers explain that it's certain shape of molars connect it to the earliest whales. The biggest connection researchers found was that it's thickened ear bone, which is only seen in cetaceans. Also, the teeth of the land-dwelling creature showed that it spent time in the water and possibly searched for food under water. I believe this scientific connection is true because of the creatures whale like features yet research is still needed and is in place at the moment.
