did dolphins used to walk on land?

i guess if you believe in evolution because they are a mammal that breath air. but if you believe that God created everything then that would be a different story, right?

Dolphins have the vocal capabilities to talk like humans and communicate with us. It's true.

I recently saw a programme on National Geographic Channel where they showed many animals masturbating.  Can you believe that dolphins are pervs?LOL.I guess even animals need a little fun!

I bet some dolphin told you that, right?\n\nYeah, I though so. So while we're busy attacking them, the dolphins consolidate their grip on the oceans

No,dolphins are not nocturnal.

Seals evolved from some terrestrial animal because anatomical analysis shows a 5-digit fin.  It probably evolved from a bear or otter-like creature.   Many mammals spend the majority of their time in the ocean, and when feeding is more successful in the ocean than on land, aquatic adaptations derive.

On land, the elephant.  In the sea, the whale shark, however, more and more evidence is pointing towards giant squid that, until recently, was thought to be just a myth.

Yes, the earliest life appears to be aquatic life.  But then amphibian species emerged on land (although with part of their lifespan still in water), and later reptiles were all-land-dwelling animals.  Among these are snakes.  Snakes are reptiles, so therefore, yes they did evolve on land. (Incidentally, they evolved from legged-animals ... some snakes still have vestigial leg bones).\n\nSo I'm not sure what your question is.

yes, and so did whales and seals etc

Dolphins have hair at one point in their life. When they are born, dolphins have whiskers on their rostrum. A dolphin’s whiskers are about one quarter inch long, and will fall out shortly after birth, as a result of water pressure. Even so, the follicular pits remain open. One can see these follicular pits on the rostrum of any dolphin. They probably serve some sort of sensory function, like the detection of speed or current. Some great whales and one type of river dolphin retain whiskers their entire lives.

I would have to say no. I however recommend checking it up on Encarta, and Infoplease. If I recall those animals came later, yet my memory is not great with times.

Hey, thanks for the question...\n\nI was about to answer that they don't, but in trying to back up my facts, I learned that apparently they do.  I guess you really do learn something every day!\n\nI don't see anything that clarifies their migration in particular, so I have to assume a lot of it is done by foot.  However, they can swim very long distances, and this may be a part of their travel methodology.

Cheetah is the fastest animal on land.

They could. There were fish that evolved from swimming to walking. There is a fish called the flying fish that can jumpfrom the water and glide through the air for a ways to escape predators. Follow the link to see a picture, its fins look very similar to wings.\n\n\nhttp://oceanlink.island.net/oinfo/biodiversity/flyingfish/flyingfish.html

Forty five Globicephala melas {pilot whales } beached themselves on Fort George Island Florida back in the winter of 1978. Seven of my trusted Zoo students spent three days pulling them back out to the ocean. We were very tired and we burned out two 200 horse power outboards. BUT we saved about half of the whales......
