'''Indonyus''' is a species that lived 48 million years ago, according to fossil evidence. Remains found in the Kashmir region of India suggest the fox-sized mammal is the long-sought land-based ancestor of whales, dolphins and porpoises. Research in the scientific journal Nature suggests the animal lived mainly on land but dived into water to escape predators. Whales are known to be evolved from land-dwellers but the "missing link" has been a mystery until the discovery of Indonyus. Some have speculated that the [[great flood]] in the old testament forced them to become full-time swimmers and turn into whales to survive.

'''Indonyus''' is an [[extinct]] [[mammal]] [[species]] found in the [[Kashmir]] region of [[India]].  It has been speculated by [[evolutionist]]s that this [[fox]]-sized mammal is the long-sought land-based ancestor of [[whale]]s, [[dolphins]] and [[porpoise]]s and that the animal lived mainly on land but dived into water to escape predators. Based on evolutionary theory, the animal fossils are believed to be about 48 million years old.  Also according to evolutionary theory, whales are believed to have evolved from land-dwelling mammals, but no "missing link" has been found. Some believe that despite the lack of similarity in physical appearance that some anatomical similarities place the indonyus as the closest relative they have found to be that missing link.
