Description
Remingtonocetus harudiensis is an extinct archaeocete cetacean that lived approximately 47 million years ago during the Eocene epoch.
Discovered in Harudi, Pakistan, it represents a significant milestone in the evolutionary history of whales.
Remingtonocetus had a streamlined body with limbs adapted for swimming and a long tail, indicating its semi-aquatic lifestyle.
Its fossils provide crucial insights into the early stages of whale evolution, showing the gradual adaptation to marine life from terrestrial ancestors.
The presence of Remingtonocetus suggests that the transition from land to sea in cetaceans was a complex process that occurred over millions of years.
