Was watching a recent vid regarding the evolutionary history of whales and was inspired to try doodling an anthro pakicetus design.

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.

Here's some whale-like creatures known as hexawhales, distant descendants of hexapodal terrestrial animals that resemble Pakicetus of Earth. These animals are found in Condimentia (a seed planet I've made up)
Left: Oceanic hexawhale
Right: Riverine hexawhale

Happy Here's a reconstruction of Ye Olde Whale, Pakicetus, that I made last year, with a lil' nod to its evolutionary heritage with hippos.

It's hard to believe this magnificent animal evolved from Pakicetus, a goat-sized, four-legged creature that scientists recognise as one of the first cetaceans (the group of marine animals that includes dolphins and whales). https://t.co/MBZM83R2J8

Pakicetus - ancient whale or snooty hippo? Went for a chonkier, more sparsely-haired reconstruction of Ye Olde Whale.

I hesitate to differentiate my merfolk from humans with behaviors that "evolved" along a different path. I mean... they did, it's like comparing Pakicetus to Ambulocetus. But I've always been worried that if they ACT differently than us, it'll reinforce racist narratives/tropes.

I'm tired tonight, so we only did these 2,5 experimental pieces on the
Pakicetus, Zhangheotherium and... something.

パキケタス
学名：Pakicetus attocki
名前：paki-cetus（パキスタンのクジラ）

現在のクジラの、もっともも古いご先祖サマです。
発掘された頭蓋骨の耳の構造から推測して、
陸上と水中とどちらの音も聞くことができたようです。
それが、クジラの祖先と考えられた理由のひとつ。
