The earliest known ancestor of modern elephants is called Eritherium azzouzorum, which was a small mammal the size of a rabbit.

Pakicetus, a whale ancestor that was small, lived on the land near the shore, almost wolflike, with webbed feet and long snouts for digging around for food near water. They eventually went further out to sea and grew massively larger.

Bowhead whales can live to up to 200 years, longer than any other mammal. Sperm whales dive down to 3000+ feet, not breathing for an hour & a half. Blue whales are the largest creatures to ever live on Earth. Their hearts are the size of a small car. 🤯
