During Richard Dawkins' 2009 American tour, we visited Judy Diamond's "Explore Evolution" exhibit at the University of Nebraska State Museum in Lincoln. This exhibit has now been replicated in six museums around the country. While visiting we filmed a collection of short unrehearsed and unscripted videos—just inspired by the "Explore Evolution" exhibit.

Those bones weren't legs, whales actually use those to reproduce. They are still attached to their muscles.

what a deceptive drawing. A pakicetus is a land mammal. A Rodhocetus is a land mammal and those artist rendering of webbed feet are complete fabrication. A durodon is a sea creature about 5 meters long. There is absolutely no connection between them. Dont believe me? look them up
