Ambulocetus--the "walking whale" is one of those great transitional forms, having a whale head AND feet. It presumably moved rather like a sea lion, and doesn't get nearly enough love, so I did a cuddly version. The dodo, for some reason, appears infuriated by this, despite the fact that it wouldn't REALLY be a contemporary of the walking whale.
