Preservation of generalised limb structure with primitive pentadactyly. 2. Enhancement of free mobility of the digits, especially of the pollux and hallux (both used for grasping). 3.

As the health and safety manager, I’ve identified that workers were exposed to cadmium and lead. Cadmium is a soft malleable transition metal. It is silvery bluish-white in color. Although toxic by nature, this chemical element is commonly used to create dry cell batteries. Like mercury, cadmium has the lowest melting point of groups three through eleven transition metals. Lead is a malleable soft heavy metal that is denser than most common materials. It bluish-white in color when freshly cut,…

which supports the hypothesis that Ambulocetus lived by a bay or the ocean (“The Evolution”). This animal, an amphibian, obtained limbs with fingers/hooves and hind feet that could swim well. They could survive on land and swim greatly in waters, with their back feet and moving their tail in a wave-like motion to help (WGBH). Ambulocetus hears through the lower jaw bone from tissues that then travel to the ear (“Whale Evolution”). Researchers hypothesize that Ambulocetus animals walked like…
