HAVE WHALES ALWAYS BEEN THAT BIG?




Hello readers! Today,  with the second article of my  series,  I want to answer to this question :

 Have whales always  been that big ?

The blue whale is the biggest animal on Earth , you can swim into their artery and they have such a big network of blood vessels that if you laid them out in a line you could stretch them from the Sun to Pluto and back for two and a half times ,but ... unlike you would think whales haven’t always been that big , if we rewind the clock around fifty million years you wouldn’t  find any whale , you have to go ashore to meet the very first whale: the pakicetus. It wasn’t taller  than a dog, had legs with hooves and a long and thick tail .
