From Greek and Latin words for "Pakistan whale". 

Pakicetus looked very different from modern cetaceans, and its body shape more resembled those of land-dwelling hoofed mammals. Unlike all later cetaceans, it had four fully functional long legs. Pakicetus had a long snout; a typical complement of teeth that included incisors, canines, premolars, and molars; a distinct and flexible neck; and a very long and robust tail. As in most land mammals, the nose was at the tip of the snout. Unlike all cetaceans, the Pakicetus had a dense fur like hippos; however, given their relatively close relationships with hippos.

Didn't have this own use. Using their mouth and sharp teeth causing bleeding.

Wear, in the form of scrapes on the molars, indicated that Pakicetus ground its teeth as it chewed its food and could rend and tear flesh. Because of the tooth wear, Pakicetus is thought to have eaten fish and small animals. The teeth also suggest that Pakicetus had herbivorous and omnivorous ancestors.

Pakicetus occurs with a land-mammal fauna in fluvial sediments bordering epicontinental Eocene remnants of the eastern Tethys seaway. Discovery of Pakicetus strengthens earlier inferences that whales originated from terrestrial carnivorous mammals and suggests that whales made a gradual transition from land to sea in the early Eocene, spending progressively more time feeding on planktivorous fishes in shallow, highly productive seas and embayments associated with tectonic closure of eastern Tethys.

Pakicetus will run away from the survivor or predator when attacked. Without any increases in the survivor's speed stat, he/she will be easily outpaced until the creature thinks it's safe and stops running. These creatures have an extremely fast metabolism; and towards the river or near the water sources safely.

 Originate from Pakistan to possibly the Indian subcontinent during the Eocene. Pakicetus only lives in areas that are close to streams or rivers in their natural habitat, which is a closed-canopy, wet, tropical lowland forest. If the area is more than 70 meters away from the sea in prehistoric the Islamic Republic of Pakistan the species rarely inhabits it.

• Movement Pattern: Nomadic

• Individual Type: Random

The pakicetus are easy to tame, you can easily knock them out with your fists or by using a tranquilizer on the entire body or slingshot on the head.

First-ever Cetacean - 50-48 mya

In northern Pakistan and were dated as early to early-middle Eocene in age. Indohyus was a small chevrotain-like animal that lived about 48 million years ago, as showed signs of adaptations to aquatic life, including dense limb bones that reduce buoyancy so that they could stay underwater, which are similar to the adaptations found in modern aquatic mammals such as the hippopotamus. By using stable oxygen isotopes analysis, they were shown to drink fresh water, implying that they lived around freshwater bodies. Their diet probably included land animals that approached water for drinking or some freshwater aquatic organisms that lived in the river

The Discovering - 1981 AD

The first fossil, a skull fragment of P. inachus, was found in 1981 in Pakistan. Subsequent fossils of Pakicetus were also found in Pakistan, hence the generic name Pakicetus. The fossils were found in the Kuldana Formation in Kohat in northern Pakistan and were dated as early to early-middle Eocene in age.
