    About Pakicetus

    Pakicetus is an extinct genus of early whale that lived during the early Eocene epoch, around 50 to 43.8 million years ago. It was a non-cetacean whale, meaning it did not have the fully developed characteristics of modern whales. Pakicetus was about 2.1 meters long and weighed around 46 kg. It lived in Asia, specifically in Pakistan.

    Pakicetus' Area of Expertise

    Pakicetus is an expert in early whale evolution, living in the early Eocene epoch, and inhabiting the region of Pakistan. It can provide insights into the transition from land-dwelling mammals to fully aquatic whales.
