The whale is actually a relative of the hippopotamus, what the hell is going on?

This is a research institute in Tokyo, and they have used a relatively new science and technology called tracing DNA sequences, and then through this to sequence the DNA of whales, so as to deduce a whole evolutionary history of whales. When I came to this research institute in Tokyo, I was particularly surprised to find that whales and hippos have a certain blood relationship, that is, at the beginning, whales and hippos were the same kind of creatures, about 50 million to 60 million years ago, and then this creature was divided into two branches, one is a whale and the other is a hippopotamus. <>

Now the whale no longer lives on land, but in the sea. At first, the whale still maintained some similar signs to the hippopotamus, but the signs of land creatures were not very convenient in the sea, and then with the development of time, the whale slowly evolved into its current appearance, that is, the previous hooves were transformed into the current fins. And the group of creatures that lived on land slowly evolved into the hippopotamus we know now.

In our conventional impression, whales and hippos are two completely different creatures, and we did not think that they were closely related many years ago, but nature is very magical and always unexpected. In fact, there have been scientific studies a long time ago that some artiodactyls on land are related to the cetaceans in the ocean, so it may be that cattle and sheep are both relatives of whales. <>

Hippos are a close relative of cetaceans. We all know that the hippopotamus is an amphibian, it spends most of its time in the water, but occasionally it also goes to the land. I think that with the development of time, the hippopotamus will no longer need to live in the water, and will live completely on land.

We always call whales whales, but whales are not fish, they are mammals and they are viviparous. Anyway, the evolution of this animal is really interesting, there are many animals that we think we can't beat, in fact, they are all slowly evolved from the same kind of animal.

The main reason why whales are relatives of hippos is that they are all able to live underwater, and their food and living habits are similar.

Because whales and hippos are both mammals, but in ancient times, whales evolved more deeply than hippos.

The hippopotamus is chubby, we once thought it was a relative of the pig, but it is not, in fact, the hippopotamus and the whale are relatives, because scientists have compared and found that the DNA of the whale and the hippopotamus is the most similar, which means that the whale and the hippopotamus are common ancestors, and in the process of evolution, one swims to the sea to become a cetacean, and the other evolves into a hippo.

Scientists believe that hippos and whales had a common ancestor between 50 million and 60 million years ago, and an international team of researchers has found enough evidence to prove that hippos and whales are close relatives after studying some 40-million-year-old fossils.

According to related sources, whales.

There are only and only hippos under the order Whale Hippopotamus. So how did this come to be, naturally, through the latest DNA sequencing. It turned out to be a sister group with hippos, this discovery.

It also surprised everyone, yes, the species of nature are great, they are constantly developing, constantly changing, and constantly evolving in the process of purification, so that their appearance and living habits change, but their genetic population is the same. This shows the enormous impact on the environment. Of course, this doesn't just affect animals, but we humans as well.

So what impact will the environment have on us humans? Let's take a brief look at it. <>

The first is the change of character, the importance of the environment, which is beyond doubt, and its ability is also very strong He can change many things, which naturally includes changing the character of all of us. Indeed, in real life, because of environmental factors, it has indeed brought a lot of changes to our personality, some people are introverted, but after staying in the lively environment for a long time, you will find that he is becoming more and more open, more and more extroverted? Similarly, there are some people who are inherently outgoing but are in a relatively monotonous environment for a long time.

Over time, their personalities have been smoothed out, making them no longer willing to be lively and outgoing. <>

The second is the mind, in addition to character, the environment changes our thinking in our careers.

We will encounter a lot of problems, and if we are in a different environment, then our thinking will be different, and naturally we have different attitudes when dealing with these things. The end result is also different. <>

Therefore, the environment is very important, its influence is very large, in order to avoid its impact, we must be prepared and prepared.

At that time, it was when they were swimming, and then people found out that they were often active on the surface of the sea, so they were discovered, it was amazing, and they were found in the process of breeding, so they were discovered.

Because scientists found that the DNA of the two is very similar and the living environment is similar, it will be found that they are related.

I think it's good that this must have been captured by a drone, and that there are so many people observing these creatures in the ocean every day.

Through the use of scientific techniques, DNA sequencing was discovered, which is an overall evolutionary history of whales, and it has been found that whales and hippos are related by blood.

This is because after continuous research by some scientists, it has also been found that whales and hippos are related to each other, and they also have a very close bloodline.

This is because according to the comparison of the DNA of the two animals, the DNA of the two animals is very similar, so such a miraculous thing is discovered.

It is because there are relevant organizations and institutions that test these animals, and they are discovered in the process of detection, which can be regarded as accidental.

It is based on the animal remains excavated by paleontologists, as well as the genetic sequences between the two animals, which can be seen.

It was discovered based on DNA sequencing, and I didn't expect that these two organisms with different living environments were actually close relatives.

Whales are closely related to hippos.

The hippopotamus family has been on Earth for a long, long time, dating back 55 million years, when they lived on Earth. Scientists have found that hippos are closely related to whales and dolphins, and their common ancestors formed two separate evolutionary branches 54 million years ago.

One branch may have evolved into the whale it is today. The other branch became the Carboniferous, a large family of four-legged beasts that resembled some skinny hippos. Unfortunately, all branches of the Carboniferous Beast, with the exception of the hippopotamus that evolved into the current hippos, have become extinct, leaving no descendants.

Whales

Whales belong to a class of marine mammals of the order Whale, breathe by the lungs, nostrils are located on the top of the head, are warm-blooded, body temperature can be maintained at 37, the heart is only 10 times per minute, a thick layer of fat can be used for heat preservation, the eyes have degenerated, the vision is poor, but the ears are very keen to feel ultrasound.

Some whales rely on echolocation. Modern whales can be further divided into baleen whales and toothed whales. Among them, there are about 15 species of baleen whales, and the large cetaceans represented by blue whales, gray whales, and humpback whales are large, but they only rely on filter-feeding krill and small fish for survival.

There are about 75 species of toothed whales, including small cetaceans such as killer whales and dolphins.

The semi-aquatic common ancestor of hippos and cetaceans diverged from other artiodactyls at the earliest 60 million years ago, while the hippopotamus and cetaceans formed two separate clades of evolution 54 million years ago. One clade may have evolved into cetaceans, probably beginning about 52 million years ago, when the protowhale (pakicetus) and other early cetacean ancestors collectively known as Archaeopteryx eventually adapted to life in the water, making it a fully aquatic cetacea. The other branch became the Carboniferous, a large family of four-legged beasts, the earliest ancestors dating from the Eocene, resembling a skinny hippopotamus with a small, narrow head.

All branches of the Carboniferous beast, with the exception of the one that evolved into the hippocampus, became extinct in the Pliocene, leaving no descendants.

According to this theory, the two are indeed relatives.

Because they evolved from an ancestor 50 million years ago, but as far as I know, scientists don't know what it is, what it looks like, and so on.
