fuckyeahursulavernon: Okay, I’m obsessed. They’re just so cute! And obscure! And I’m all about cute and obscure!Ambulocetus, the walking whale, (a fossil transitional form having a whale head and flipper feet rather like a sea lion, only with hooves on the end) meets his long lost cousin…the cow. The whales split off from the family branch containing hooved mammals millions of years before anything resembling the cow as we know it, but I figure the gulf there can’t be nearly as broad as that between me and some of MY relatives…The dodo finds this all infuriating, of course. - Ursula Vernon -- source link
