From Bambi To Moby Dick

It’s stories like this one, from the BBC website, about scientists discovering the missing link between land based mammals and whales that blow my mind.

I read the text and I understand that it all fits together and makes sense, but then I start to consider the time span that is being covered in moving from

to

and my head starts to whizz in the same way it does when I try and think about the size of the universe.

Indonyus way well be the missing link that leads to today’s whales, but the idea is at the very edge of my comprehension.
