Modern cetaceans, the taxonomic group that includes whales, dolphins, and porpoises, evolved from land mammals. However, it has

only been within the past few decades that transitional fossils have been found that have shed light on cetacean hindlimb reduction. DNA data suggest that cetaceans are most closely related to Hippos, which are even-toed ungulates. Other even-toed ungulates include deer, pigs, camels, and cows. Which statement describes most accurately how the early cetacean,Pakicetus, fossil ankle bones shown in the figure supports the hypothesis that cetaceans are closely related to even-toed ungulates?

Explain why animals must eat but plants don't eat
salantis [7]
Plants don't need "food" to function. They use sun light/photosynthesis and minerals from the soil to make the sugars they need in order to grow and survive. Animals are not at all like plants (Due to the fact that animals can't use sunlight to produce the energy that they need to live), so they need to take in organic/physical sources of energy in order to function. So that's one reason why animals eat, and plants don't. :P
