Description
Ambulocetus natans, meaning "walking whale that swims," is an extinct mammal that lived approximately 50 million years ago during the Eocene epoch.
Resembling a cross between a crocodile and a whale, Ambulocetus was a transitional species between land-dwelling ancestors and modern cetaceans. It measured around 10 feet in length and possessed both aquatic and terrestrial adaptations.
With powerful limbs and webbed feet, it could walk on land, while its streamlined body and tail allowed it to swim efficiently. Ambulocetus likely hunted in water, preying on fish and small aquatic vertebrates.
