Is a Hippo a Pig or a Whale?
March 24, 2009 — Two teams of evolutionists are having a spat over whale evolution. Thewissen and team (Northeastern Ohio U) say the hippo is close to the pig, but Jessica Theodor (U of Calgary) and Jonathan Geisler (Georgia Southern U) say it’s in the whale family tree.

It’s my contention that a hippo is a hippo, a whale is a whale and a pig is Barney Frank.

Well, a Hippo has a ‘whale of an appatite’ and it ‘eats like a pig’ so comparing these attributes one MUST then assume it is commonly descended from both- there can be no other explanation

LOL somethings just seem so right.
To: GodGunsGuts
I bet they end up spending hundreds of thousands in federal money to find out that it is a Hippo.

I thought hippos were related to the horse or Meagan McCain.

Wow - scientists working for a living. Did you read the article or did you just like its snappy title?

Does it all come down to noting similarities and then trying to "prove" it? If so, the hippopotamus looks to be an overgrown pig with a deeper wallow, to me. Rather simplistic, though.
From a purely Biblical perspective, aren't these referred to specifically, and described rather heroically as one of the more powerful and amazing creatures in God's Creation?
To: stayathomemom
I guess it depends on whether creatures crawled out of the sea or into it...if one can believe such a thing.

Then we'll know.
There is no substitute for scientific method.

Well, they smell like pigs but they dive like whales, with their noses closed but no blowhole.
I’m gonna say you’re gonna need a blowhole to get stamped ‘whale’.
So let’s go with horsepig.
