Pakicetus lived around 50 million years ago and is one of the earliest known ancestors of whales. It looked nothing like a whale—it had four legs, a long snout, and lived on land, though it likely hunted in shallow water like a crocodile.

Sky_Go on Instagram: "The evolutionary #journey of #whales #began around 50 million years ago with a peculiar land-dwelling #mammal known as Pakicetus, #discovered in fossil deposits from what is now Pakistan.
