The discovery of the fossils was led by an Egyptian research team, who unearthed the protocetidae remains from the<\/a>Fayoum<\/a>Depression<\/a> in Egypt's Western Desert, aiming to help trace the transition of whales from land to sea. Among those who took note: Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 6:24<\/a>). Reuters<\/a> also has the story.<\/p>\n
