My favourite genre of extinct animal is forbidden pupy

I realised there’s paleoart I’ve done that I haven’t shared here! Here’s a silly piece of an Ambulocetus I did a bit back, inspired by this photo of a seal I saw.

I've been going insane over early whales btw. He doesn't know where he is or what his descendants will become! It is a warm midsummer day 47 million years ago and he is napping in the sun

evolution is fun because you can say "whales used have hooves" and that's an entirely correct (although simplified) statement.

had to design a creature for school and we needed a minimum of 3 creatures to try and smush together so i chose a plesiosaur, an ambulocetus, a spinosaurus and a fish

Ambulocetus (Walking Whale) takes a short rest before returning to the waters to hunt. This amphibious mammal lived around 48 million years ago and is yet another transitional form from terrestrial ungulates to marine cetaceans. With large webbed feet for swimming, and eyes positioned at the top of its head, it's hypothesized that Ambulocetus may have used a hunting style similar to that of crocodilians, floating at the surface of the water and lunging at prey with its long narrow snout.

Paleovember 2022, Ambulocetus!

Famously known as the ‘whaling whale’, this pivotal animal may not have actually been so great on land. Instead, it was much more suited to aquatic life, swimming like a huge otter and hunting like a mammalian crocodile.

spare ambulocetus content for the poor 🤲

Of course!

Here's neat museum display of the animal: The Ambulocetus holotype posed both in the same arrangement the fossil was originally discovered in, and in an in-life swimming position! At the Naturmuseum Senckenberg in Frankfurt, Germany.
