It is crazy how different whales are today! You might be thinking whales have always looked like how they are today. That is not true! Recently people have discovered bones from a ancient whale. Just be glad whales look the way we think whales should look. Otherwise nobody would go whale watching! So glad Shamu doesn’t look like this!
Many questions could be asked in this article here is one of them how do people know this is what it looks like? The reason i wonder that is because it could look like really anything. The eyes could not be where we think! Another questions is how do the people know it was 17 million years ago? This ancient “whale” cold have lived in the A.D. time which was really long ago. I think that was a reasonable guess!
