Dear MEL Topic Readers,
New species of ancient four-legged whale discovered in Egypt
The whale is the largest mammal on earth. Whales roam throughout all of the world’s oceans, communicating with complex and mysterious sounds. About 50 million years ago, whales evolved from dear-like land-living mammals. Although they are now fully aquatic, open-ocean creatures and they can feed, mate, give birth, suckle and raise their young all at sea, they still need to regularly surface to breathe air. They are at the top of the food chain and have an important role in the overall health of the marine environment.
Recently, scientists in Egypt identified a new species of four-legged whale that is estimated to have lived around 40 million years ago. Though it was not the first time that the fossil of a four-legged whale was discovered, interestingly, the skull looks like that of the god of the Egyptian jackal-headed god. Is this just a coincidence?
Enjoy reading the article about an interesting scientific discovery.
