  Did they? Wiki tells me “that cetaceans are phylogenetically closely related with the even-toed ungulates (Artiodactyla)”. By the way, I like the fact that we’re both angry :)

    It depends on what you want to call pakicetus, I think it looks kinda dog like.

    The DNA may tell an entirely different story.

      Pakicetus looks really cute in this reconstruction! I’ve always seen the species pictured looking as a kind of a big rat. This is so much better.
