   News Staff. Researchers writing in Nature magazine say the fossil skeleton of a newly discovered carnivorous animal, Puijila darwini, is a "missing link" in the evolution of the group that today includes seals, sea lions, and the walrus. Modern seals, sea lions, and walruses all have flippers—limb adaptations for swimming in water.

   May 24, 2024 · A new study has now explored the evolutionary history of living and fossil seals, revealing in the process how walruses had extraordinary periods of speciation followed by extinction. There is only one species of walrus alive today, but in the past there were many others. The diversification of seals was once thought to have been fairly steady ...

   Apr 23, 2009 · Newsletter. On a rocky island high in the Canadian arctic, paleontologists have unearthed the fossilized remains of a versatile, web-footed creature that could prowl over land and paddle in the water, and researchers say it represents a "missing link" in the evolution of seals, sea lions, and walruses. Those animals all belong to a group called.

   Did a web-footed Walrus evolve away from a life on land?

   • Scientists say they've found a "missing link" in the early evolution of seals and walruses — the skeleton of a web-footed, otter-like creature that was evolving away from a life on land. Those feet and other anatomical features show an early step on the way to developing flippers and other adaptations for a life in the sea, the scientists said.

   Was a pinniped a direct ancestor of a walrus?

   • The 23 million-year-old creature was not a direct ancestor of today's seals, sea lions and walruses, a group known collectively as pinnipeds. It's from a different branch. But it does show what an early direct ancestor looked like, said researcher Natalia Rybczynski.

   Are walruses still alive?

   • There is only one species of walrus alive today, but in the past there were many others. The diversification of seals was once thought to have been fairly steady and relatively uninteresting. But a new study looking into the evolution and diversity of these marine mammals has found that walruses stand out as having been quite dynamic.

   Where did seals come from?

   • The origin of seals is surprisingly murky. There are two fossil candidates for what could be considered the first seal ancestors, called Potamotherium and Puijila. Both were likely living similar lifestyles as otter-like animals, but the issue is that they come from completely different parts of the world.

   Apr 22, 2009 · New research on this animal suggests Puijila is a 'missing link' in the evolution of pinnipeds - the group that today includes seals, sea lions, and the walrus. The analysis of the skeleton, its evolutionary importance, and the support for the hypotheses that pinniped origins can be found in the Arctic will be described in a paper to be published in the 23 April issue of the journal Nature...
