''Peregocetus'' is the first recorded quadrupedal whale from the [[Pacific Ocean]] and the [[Southern Hemisphere]]. The discovery reveals that [[Protocetidae|protocetids]] reached the Pacific Ocean and attained a near circumequatorial distribution while retaining functional weight-bearing limbs.<ref name="CurBio"/> |
