Representing the earliest cetacean radiation, they include the initial amphibious stages in cetacean evolution, thus are the ancestors of both modern cetacean suborders, Mysticeti and Odontoceti. [2] This initial diversification occurred in the shallow waters that separated India and Asia 53 to 45 mya , resulting in some 30 species adapted to a ...

There is a 50 thousand-year-old fossil skeleton of Hippopotamus antiquus. Also, there is a reconstruction of Indohyus, a terrestrial mammal ancestor of modern cetaceans. The exhibition then continues with the cast of a skeleton and the reconstruction of an Ambulocetus natans, an ancient cetacean that was probably able to both swim and walk.
Drawing showing the size of Remingtonocetus (scale in meters). Remingtonocetus was a small cetacean with R. harudiensis weighing 198–576 kg (437–1,270 lb). [5] Gingerich et al. 2001 interpreted R. domandaensis as an older and more generalized species than R. harudiensis.
