A modern animal cannot evolve into another modern animal. A wolf can't evolve into a whale like a monkey can't evolve into a human.

However, animals have evolved from their prehistoric predecessors.

For example, whales did not evolve from wolves or any mammals related to wolves. Whales are more closely related to prehistoric hoofed animals.

#1).- Yes, but the wolf would have to be swimming in an ocean for that to happen, which is extremely unlikely as wolves, though good swimmers, cannot swim that far out into the open ocean and neither are they likely to.

In a head-on fight, killer whales have size, mobility (assuming the battle takes place underwater, if on land the whale is burned since it will die), and power. A wolf has not a chance.

#2).- Orcas are known to rock polar bears right off of ice floes, so a lone wolf would make a quick snack for an orca. Some orcas surf onto the beach (seen, filmed on the Chilean coastline) to snatch seals from the littoral zone. If the orca happened to get stuck there, a pack of wolves could feasibly tear them to shreds. However, this is quite unlikely to occur. Orcas are known to work together to kill whales that are much larger than themselves.

All living creatures are related. In this case, not very closely. Wolves and Whales both however are mammals in the Animal Kingdom.

Is the hippo a member of the horse family?

No. The hippopotamus is not very closely related to horses, although of course both species are mammals. The hippopotamus is a type of even-toed ungulate and is thus more closely related to camels, cows, and pigs, than it is to horses. Horses technically do not have toes, but the hoof of a horse is equivalent to a highly developed toenail of a single toe, making horses a kind of odd toed ungulate.


Are Rhino's the same species as Horses?

No, Rhino's are not the same species or even closely related to Horses. Rhino's are related to Elephants and Manatees, while horses are related to Zebras and at a more distant relation, Antelopes and Pronghorns....While technically correct;While the previous entry is technically correct (all being in the same genus, equus) the odd-toed ungulates (meaning "hoofed animal), order perissodactyla; include horses, rhinoceroses, and tapirs. Perissodactyla are catorgorized as being mammals with feet that are symmetrical from the third toe. This, simply stated, is a fact that Rhinos and Horses do share a special genetic likeness, making them much more closely related than anyone may have imagined.
