Episode 4 - Dinosaurs, Whale Bones & Learning about Whale Evolution

We went wayyyy back for this one. Slater and Katlyn have been listening to a book about whales but written from a paleontologist's point of view. This inspired us to talk about how whales started as mammals on land and went back to the water. Eric dropped some fossil knowledge on us about where to find marine fossils in California and look at them in museums too.

We also meandered our way through whale bones, vestigial legs and whale evolution. We talked about whale strandings that we have seen on beaches in California. Lastly, we briefly covered some interesting whale adaptations that are on whales that currently exist today.
