Researchers
Find Dolphin With 'Remains of Legs'
Extra set of fins could be the remains of
back legs. Japanese researchers said Sunday
that a bottlenose dolphin captured last
month has an extra set of fins that could
be the remains of back legs, a discovery
that may provide further evidence that ocean-dwelling
mammals once lived on land. Fishermen captured
the four-finned dolphin off the coast of
Wakayama prefecture (state) in western Japan
on Oct. 28, and alerted the nearby Taiji
Whaling Museum, according to museum director
Katsuki Hayashi. Fossil remains show dolphins
and whales were four-footed land animals
about 50 million years ago and share the
same common ancestor as hippos and deer.

and too embarrassed to reveal her identity.
