Whales evolved from terrestrial mammals that gradually adapted to aquatic life around 50 million years ago. The ancestors of modern whales were artiodactyls, a group of hoofed mammals. Over millions of years, these ancestors transitioned from land-dwellers to water inhabitants, leading to significant anatomical changes. One of the most notable adaptations is the evolution of the blowhole, the nasal opening that allows whales to breathe efficiently on the water's surface.
