Read the passage and answer the question that Follow.

Palaeontologists in Egypt have discovered a 43-million-year-old fossil of a whale species with four legs that would have been capable of walking on land as well as hunting in water.
The previously unknown species belongs to the Protecetidae, a group of extinct creatures that were part of an evolutionary change in which mammals went from being land-dwelling herbivores to sea-dwelling carnivores over 10 million years.
The 3 m-long predator has been named ‘Phiomicetus anubis' after the ancient Egyptian God of death, not just for its assumed hunting abilities but also because its skull resembles the God's jackal head.
Weighing about 600 kg, it had powerful jaw muscles and amphibious skills that would have let it prey upon creatures such as crocodiles and small mammals, as well as the calves of other whale species, the researchers said.
"It was a successful, active predator," said Abdullah Gohar, a graduate student of vertebrate palaeontology at Mansoura University. "I think it was the god of death for most animals that lived alongside it."
The researchers spent over a decade studying fossilised fragments found in an area in the Fayum Depression southwest of Cairo that is known as the Valley of the Whales because of the marine fossils unearthed there.
