CAIRO, March 12 (Xinhua) -- Have you ever imagined watching a whale in Egypt's desert? Let's take a tour of Wadi Al-Hitan, or Whale Valley, which contains fossil remains of the earliest, and now extinct, suborder of whales, Archaeoceti.
These fossils represent one of the major stories of evolution: the emergence of the whale as an ocean-going mammal from a land-based animal.
