Description
Rodhocetus kasrani is an extinct species of early cetacean that lived around 47 million years ago during the Eocene epoch.
Discovered in Pakistan, this ancient mammal played a pivotal role in understanding the evolutionary history of whales.
With its elongated body, well-developed limbs, and webbed feet, Rodhocetus is believed to have been semi-aquatic, capable of swimming efficiently while still retaining some terrestrial abilities.
Its fossil findings provided vital evidence for the transition of cetaceans from land to sea, shedding light on how these majestic marine mammals evolved from their terrestrial ancestors and adapted to life in the open ocean.
