Let's consider the case of nares: one species Pakicetus has the nares on top of the snout and near the front, the Beluga whale of today has the nares on top of the skull and the transitional species, Aeticiocetus has its nares on top of the snout, but more proximal, near the orbits.

That's one.

"Let's consider the case of nares"

All in one punctuated transition? or, is this an example of how they got it right the first time?

Surely there are fossil specimens for examination that show intermediate nare placements leading to the present day locations.
