What difference did scientists discover between today's whales and fossils of their ancestors and how does this show whales and animals with four legs probably descended from a common ancestor?
Bones of whale ancestors showed that whales had hip bones along with legs and hind feet.
What evidence suggests that the ancestors of whales once walked on land?
yes the facts book on whales said that 50 million years ago they walked on earth as animals. there fin's as there legs
How do the fossils of whales provide evidence that whales have evolved over millions of years?
i guess they show tht whales were here millions of years ago and they show how they changed over time, when the whales changed or evovled, the fossils changed they show that whales' ancestors were four legged mammals. modern whales inherited hip bones from their four legged ancestors.
True or false trilobites are common fossils related to the same group as today's dolphins whales and seals?
true

Modern whales have a vestigial perlvis and femur what does this evidence suggest about ancestors of modern whales?
Evidence of a vestigial pelvis and femur suggests about the ancestors of modern whales walked on land and thus, also breathed air. Many other marine life is believed to have been land based before massive climate change and perhaps floods.
What evidence supports the hypothesis that whales evolved from land-dwelling mammals?
The evidence that supports the hypothesis that whales evolved from land-dwelling mammals includes the sinonyx. This is a wolf sized mammal that is believed to be a transition between the land animal and the ocean whale.
What type of fossils do blue whales turn into?
they dont turn into fossils stupid
What is an example of transitional forms?
Whales, because their legs become vestigial for modern day whales. Their legs start to shrink slowly on the ancestors of fossils related to the whales, which slowly evolve to fins. Fish swim side to side, while the whales and dolphins move up and down. The nose slowly moves to the top of the head through the generations.
