Read the following passage and answer the questions given below: The 50-million–year–old fossil of an ancient whale found in the Himalayan foothills of Pakistan give strong evidence that modern whales are descended from a four –legged, land-dowelling animal. The fossils consist of part of the skull, some teeth, and the well preserved middle ear of an animal that was 6 to 8 feet long, weighed 350 pounds, had a work file snout, and had two foot-long jaws with sharp, triangular teeth. It is the middle ear which suggests that the ancient whale lived on land. Analysis indicated that the animal had eardrums, which do not work in water and which modern whales have only in vestigial form. Furthermore, the right and left ear bones were not isolated from each other. The separation of those bones in marine whales enables them to detect the direction of underwater sounds.
