Did they? Wiki tells me “that cetaceans are phylogenetically closely related with the even-toed ungulates (Artiodactyla)”. So a horse is closer than a cow, but a cow is much closer than a dog.
By the way, I like the fact that we’re both angry :)
Why elephants? I mean whales are not cows just by looking at what they eat. In that way manatees eating mostly sea plants are closer to being cows. Are they not?
Whales, dolphins, porpoises, and orcas are all sea doggos
Wait, seals are sea doggos, right? Whales are sea cows.
Cetaceans evolved from a wolf like creature, not a bovine like one.

It depends on what you want to call pakicetus, I think it looks kinda dog like.

The DNA may tell an entirely different story.
Pakicetus looks really cute in this reconstruction! I’ve always seen the species pictured looking as a kind of a big rat. This is so much better.
But manatees are sea cows
They are called sea cows, but they’re really sea elephants? I hope I’m not terribly wrong.

What are dugongs hen?
Never heard of them
They are similar to manatees but thinner and droopier in the snout. Hang out mainly in asia
Dunno. I said the former were sea doggos because they all evolved from some wolf-like creature
yeah i know dugongs could be the “sea cows” too
