Kind of like a hippo, I presume.

Well I hope so. This creationist insists marine mammals wre post flood creatures that took to the empty seas. I don’t know if this fossil creature was the first whales etc. likely it happened everywhere.  
Marine mammals are not the iconic example of evolution. Evolutionists should not say that.  
These creatures are super unique in actually having remnants of a real former bodyplan. They are amongst the very, very, few. All other biology has no remnants of former bodyplans within it.  
Whales take a bite out of evolutionist predictions.  
YEC is wrong to deny marine mammals were first land lovers. I know they don’t like that so much bodyplan changed without known mechanisms but we don’t anything. Its just a wee bit more then people.
