The common ancestor of whales and hippos is believed to have lived millions of years ago. Scientists hypothesize that this animal lived in water and had two limbs, but it is not still alive today. Through genetic and fossil evidence, scientists have been able to piece together the evolutionary history of whales and hippos, showing their shared ancestry.
