Pakicetidae is an extinct group of early cetaceans with substantial terrestrial locomotor capabilities. Their combination of limb and ear characters helps trace the transition between land-associated ancestors and later aquatic cetaceans. A fossil can establish affinity without possessing the full modern body form.
