> Even the Yupik belief that beluga whales were once land-dwelling creatures is rooted in reality: some 50 million years ago, the ancestor of modern-day whales walked on land. As if recalling this, whale fetuses briefly develop legs before losing them again. Whales are mammals, who was doubting they had a land-walking ancestor? In general this article is taking stuff that's obvious, scientifically proven, or at least possible, and mixes it with animals spirits and other obvious bullshit, and concludes "so maybe there's something there?". It's weird.
