Whale with four legs and hooves is found in Peru

A WHALE with four legs and hooves that roamed the land and sea 40 million years ago has been found in Peru.

It had small hooves at the tip of its fingers and toes suggesting it could walk on land - but was also had webbed digits and a tail like an otter making it a strong swimmer. He said there were many gaps in the whales' fossil record between them travelling along the northern coast of Africa and making it to North America.
