And that feature is only found in artiodactyls.

而这种特征只存在于偶蹄类。

Some very early cetaceans have this ankle bone, too, which tells us that cetaceans evolved from artiodactyls.

一些非常早期的类也有这种踝骨，这告诉我们类是从偶蹄类进化而来的。

In other words, if Ambulocetus represents the transition from land to water, then Indohyus represents the transition from artiodactyls to whales.

换句话说， 如果 Ambulocetus 代表从水的过渡，那么 Indohyus 代表从偶蹄鱼的过渡。

Unlike Ambulocetus, it's not a member of the immediate whale family, but it shares a common ancestor with them, helping to connect today's artiodactyls.

与 Ambulocetus 不同， 它不是直系鱼家族的成员，但它与他们有共同的祖先，有助于连接今天的偶蹄。

And these comparisons showed that cetaceans are actually most closely related to a group known as artiodactyls, hoofed mammals that includes hippos, pigs, and deer.

这些比较表明，类实际上与称为偶蹄类的类群关系最密切，偶蹄类是有蹄类哺乳，包括河马、猪和鹿。
