This placement would represent an evolutionary change between the front nostrils of its ancestor and the top nostrils of the modern gray whale.
During a trip to the museum, you come across a display on the gray whale and one of its ancestors. The ancestor whale appears to have nostrils at the front of its skull, while the modern gray whale has nostrils at the top of its skull. If you were to add a transitional fossil to this display, what would its skull look like in terms of nostril placement?(1 point)
