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.
