I've been reading about killer whale evolution an hour after reading this. I should be working.

But that just sounds like fish with extra steps.

It's hilarious to me that people think macro evolution similar to what this meme is on about, actually happened, lol. It's quite the myth.

Well, the whales can get oxygen from the air, so they have a lot more oxygen available to run their muscles than the fish do. It worked out.

not to mention that big brain too

Hey, those mammal lungs are a big part of why they're so effective.

Funnily enough, bony fish aren't actually less intelligent than mammals
LordBranmuffin
And killer whales are probably one of the most dangerous fuckers in the ocean so looks like it is another point to the mammals.

Not in 140 characters they can't.

Is this how it happened?

Yeah, one day a panda decided to go swimming and it just didn't stop until it became a sea monster.
jmulderr
Of course not. The illuminati created them on a cloning plant orbiting Neptune. Get woke.

Yes. Having the super-powered bone structure and muscle tissue required for life on land was a huge boon in the sea.
definitelynotanarc
Yep. Including it's land ancestor looking like a deer (and, possibly, its closest living relative is the hippo)
Sauroctonus
Well, I'd say the land ancestors of whales looked more like dog-otters, at least, that's how most reconstructions look.
