Paragraph 1

The fossil consists of a complete skull of an archaeocyte, an extinct group of ancestors of


modern cetaceans. Although limited to a skull, the Pakicetus fossil provides precious details
on the origins of cetaceans. The skull is cetacean-like but its jawbones lack the enlarged
space that is filled with fat or oil and used for receiving underwater sound in modern whales.
Pakicetus probably detected sound through the ear opening as in land mammals. The skull
also lacks a blowhole, another cetacean adaptation for diving. Other features, however,
show experts that Pakicetus is a transitional form between a group of extinct flesh-eating
mammals, the mesonychids, and cetaceans. It has been suggested that Pakicetus fed on fish
in shallow water and was not yet adapted for life in the open ocean. It probably bred and
gave birth on land.
