Good site on whale evolution

The Smithsonian Institution has produced a nice visual Web site on the evolution of whales, "backwards" because whales evolved from land mammals that went back to the ocean.

Did whale evolution go backwards?

Only one real omission, in my opinion: they left out the critical transitional stage of Rodhocetus.









This site has just about everything you could ever want to know about what is known about whale evolution:
