''Himalayacetus'' is an extinct genus of a group called archaeoceti. A relative of '' Ambulocetus '', ''Himalayacetus'' still had four limbs, and could probably walk on land. However, it probably hunted in shallow waters similar to Crocodile s of today. Fossils of this creature were found in the Himalayas , hence the name, and parts of Iran . ''Himalayacetus'' lived in the ancient coastline of the ancient Tethys Ocean before the Indian Plate had collided with the Cimmeria n coast. |
