Whales: So am I a fish or a mammal? Evolution: yes

Shoutout to the cameraman for living for the millions of years it took to record this.

I miss the good old days when whales used to live on land. I had a pet whale once, and the day he left us to live in the ocean still breaks my heart to this day.

"Indohyus, my brother. I've decided to search for more food in the waters."

‘Did you swim? Whale: yes What did it cost? Whale: legs’

evolution be like : Big Rat --> Swimming Big Rat--> Platypus--> Dolphin

"Okay time to get out" "But mom I wanna stay in for 5 more minutes!" *the five minutes*

As a child, I asked my teacher why whales have lungs instead of gills like all fish. He answered me because they were mammals. I wondered again why mammals, not fish if they are living in the water. He told me why my name was Farshad as if that logic answered anything. This happened almost 20 years ago, and I remember it as if it happened yesterday. Even though I am not a teacher, I promised myself to study and find answers to many questions that I may cross by those little curious minds.

We can all agree that this is interesting as hell.

Dude just went "Fuck evolution, return to fish." Edit: Guys, I know they're not fish. It's just a joke.

Big ass rodent: why don’t I go for a swim? Millions of years later: 🐋

“Reject land, return to ocean”

Dad: i am going for swim party honey Mom : okay, but don't be late. Dad :

_"The Sarface is bullshit, let's return to the water"_ - Whales, probably

Fish: Evolve into mammals and walk on land Whales: you know what? fuck it, I'm going back

How are there still people saying this is a lie? Whales have tiny pelvic bones that are disconnected from the rest of their skeleton.

This is just so nostalgic i remember when whales looked like that

Reject land, return to w a t e r

This is sick. What kind of monster would leave their pet whale in the water of 26 million years?? Absolutely inhumane

The humans i bred in that giant bath tub after millions of years:

1. Rat dog 2. Swim rat 3. small water elephant. 4. Dolphin ok

If this creature went from land to water and turns into a sea creature it means we couldve been real mermaids LOL

I remember living in the Kutchicetus era watching the whales evolve into now. So many memories🥰

Everyone: 🌊->🏝️* Whales: 🌊->🏝️->🌊*

All life originated in the ocean, that means that the ancestors of the whale evolved to be able to live on land, only to, then, evolve to go back to the water. I can't think of anything more counterproductive if I tried, lol.

Shout out for the cameraman surviving for million years to record this

bro took its just a swim to another level

Whenever I go swimming on a beach and step out of the water, I feel like a proud mammalian that has just finished through its evolution in water.

I’m going to let my dog swim for million of years and let’s see what kind of pokemon my dog will become

My brain says: Whale But my heart says: *D o g*

So the mouse was like “Yo This land stuff Just ain’t for me, I’m bout to be a Aquatic Mammal now.”

Man, that whale swam for a long time

Even today, whales still have vestigial leg bones buried in their bodies. At some point in the past, they must have lived on land.

Fun fact: you can tell that whales evolved from land animals b/c of the motion of their spine (similar to motion of dolphin and most land animals). A whales spine moves up and down similar to land animals. Unlike fish who’s spines move from side to side..that’s one of the reasons. Hope u learned something from me - have a good day!!! :)

Before these amazing transformations which are not backed up by transitional skeletons, which evolved first in any of the species, the eyes or the mouth? How did the eyeball evolve? How did the eye know which frequency of light that would enable for them to see and evolve the rods & cones.How did fish gills know to evolve lungs that could breathe air particles without drowning?😂how did minerals turn into life?

Dedication of the cameraman brought tears to my eyes

"GO BACK, I WANT TO BE SIREN" Whales in the present: *Singing of hapiness*

0:17 *me walking at the pool with my hands*

15 year later,this video is still legendary

The fact that whales can't breath underwater makes sense now

For more than 30 years I have been swimming in our pool and I am still waiting for the first fin on my neck to be appear

So imaginative but why didn't it grow gills in its evolution.. Argh.. wheres part 2 pls

i miss those good old days when whales walked on land.. miss you murphy 😔

Pakicetus: I want to go back to water Also pakicetus: Swims and evolves into whales

Imagine you just wanted to go for a quick swim but became something else entirely and now you can’t get out of the ocean

Normal people:*watching a educational video quietly* Me:*trying to increase the volume*

my man was like: the land is boring im goin back to water

people who don't believe in fact supported theories only believe in things they can fully understand and comforted from.

Whale: Hey evolution can I have lungs? Evolution: To breathe on land? Whale: Yeeeees *Actually returns to ocean like a boss*

what level do they evolve at?

I need a sped up version of this video with the caption “Whale lore” and the epic version of “somebody I used to know” as background music

Did anyone randomly get this recommended 13-15 years later?

Imagine going for a swim and staying for millions of years

I wish humans would evolve out of their wisdom teeth already.

Mammal: im going for a little bit swiming The swim;

Cameraman never dies !

Thousands of years later, fish will be saying their ancestors used to be human.

Me: about to sleep "Whale evolution" Me: it won't hurt to watch this

Why did I get recommended 15years later

dog: i dont wanna live that way legs: but you didnt have to cut me off

Kid: Mom, Can we get a whale? Mom: We have whale at home.. Whale at home: 0:04

Marine Biologist here. All marine mammals (considered as cetaceans e.g. whales both toothed and baleen, dolphins and porpoise, pinnipeds e.g. seals both phocid and otariids, walrus, manatees, dugong, and the two carnivores the otter and polar bears) evolved from land based predators to reinvade the sea. The key phrase we are looking at here is MAMMAL. Unlike fish and other marine species these organisms have lungs not gills. They cannot breathe in an aquatic medium, rather they must surface to breathe. It is widely accepted that they evolved to reinvade the marine environment along the pathway of Desmostylia (google it and do some of the work yourself). This is held as true, not because of the writings of a group of people 2000 years ago back in the dark ages when it was a mystery that the sun rose every morning and the moon every evening, but because when studied, several characteristics of land mammals still exist in even the most advanced marine mammals. They still have all their phalanges and digits arranged in the same order as your own human hand unlike other aquatic organisms where the bones are much reduced, fused or purely absent to aid the specifically evolved buoyancy and locomotion (shark fins being cartilage to counter the specific gravity e.g. sinking effect of bone). The internal organs are all present and accounted for despite massive differences in size due to the overall morphological differences which is also different in most other aquatic organisms, the easiest observable being and enlarged liver in fish for extra lipid storage as a buoyancy aid. They poses eyes similar in photic receptor structure similar to those of nocturnal terrestrial animals. Ear structure, though modified, acutely similar in structure to terrestrial animals with the main difference being mandibular fat as an extra pathway to the inner ear enabling sound pinpointing in a denser medium where sound travels approx. 4.5x faster than air. I could go on but really, if you are going to argue against something at least educate yourself to that which you are opposing rather than spouting wild claims with no basis in any reality other than your own.

Who else remember seeing this at a museum

“Kevin, get out of the water! KEVIN!” “Let him go, Steve, let him go his own way.”

My childhood memories. Me and my elder brother used to go to see how whales evolve. Old golden days. 😢

Nice to see the origin of my ex girlfriend

Me when I don't want to leave the pool when mom says so:

Ah those were the days. Just me walking my pet whale back in 35 million BC. Brings a tear to the eye

It's evolving, just backwards. *-PewDiePie*

"im just going for a swim, ill be back" *49 million years later* "ok just a few more minutes"

never knew animals could do the oppasite in Prehestoric times go back in the water

I really don't like how it has that. Creepy. 2000's vibe to it.

"I hate walking" -Whale?

This is so nostalgic, I remember when Wales used to have four legs🥺🥺

I love visiting there museum, i've been going there since i was a child. I always loved seeing the continental drift animations and the cafes the history just feels very important.

This just doesn’t hit the same without the ‘you didn’t have to cut me off’ music

I hope there are videos of all animals evolution so I can watch one by one

I love how everyone is commenting about creationists when I scrolled down and I literally couldn't find a single comment that was made by a creationist.

One of the greatest transitions that life have ever made 👏

Omg I remeber the time we saw a weird dog in the water soo much Childhood memories 😔

It would be interesting to see how the nasal passage way developed into a blowhole. Pretty insane.

Ok so.... Basically some prehistoric doggo one day decided to jump into water and it became the biggest animal in the world Ok lemme try that (Edit: its 2020 and I evolved like I never could before, I’m now a flaming ball of depression and boredom)

After 15 years you tube randomly recommend me this video wow

This guy is a legend for recording more than a billion years of evolution. Need help clearing your storage space?

I reject my humanity. Return to whal.

“Let me just take a swim guys brb real quick”

I tried explaining this on my final science exam. We were to compose a short essay describing the stages of whale evolution and I turned in three pages where I butchered the entire explaination by over describing the whale rats and somehow still passed the test. 😂

"Dog jumps into water and becomes fish"- The movie

Is that means we can domesticated water doggo?

Hippo be like:

Pakicetus: Screw land. I'm going for a swim and never returning back. 🙂

Shout out to people who went back 15 billion years ago to know this kind of stuff.

we have discovered a new form of cancer called this video's comment section

The things evolution can do are simply amazing!!!

Current research have said there's no EVIDENCE to the claim, missing links don't exist between these creatures, was just human making hypothesis.

This is a simple proof that limbs are not important for swimming. If you agree with me, say hi..!

Shark: so what's your story Whale:

Scientists: acquired features cannot be passed on Also scientists:

The fact you can know from this) Whale is an all-time cute animal
