Pakicetus by Quadruped

Fossil used as reference for the face! Belonged to some Natural History museum in the UK I think?
Anyways, these guys have really weird, but cool snoots and this is my interpretation of them. Colors are super boring, but oh well.

Prehistoric creatures are way too much fun to reconstruct, I'm sorry. /XD

Ooh ancient whales. Do they belong to archaeoceti and did they have hooves?

Yeah, they did. I put grass over the toesies though, shame on me. /XD
Also, thanks guys, for the comments. c:

Hooray for ancient cetaceans! :D This was more than likely what Odontocetes evolved from. Mysticetes were slightly more recent to the fossil record than these guys, though they evolved from a common ancestor. ^-^
