Fun fact: whales actually evolved from land animals
Not just Whales
Dolphins, Sea Snakes, Sea Turtles, Manatees etc.
50 million years ago four legged hoofed land mammals that are closely related to hippos eventually evolved to spend more and more time in the sea which led to whales, dolphins, porpoises etc.
