But I eschew any flesh that walks on cloven hoof.

来不吃动物的肉。

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 表陆地到水的过渡，那么 Indohyus 表动物到鲸鱼的过渡。

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，鲸类动物实际上与称类动物的类群关系最密切，类动物是有类哺乳动物，包括河马、猪和鹿。

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， 它不是直系鲸鱼家族的成员，它与他们有共同的祖先，有助于连接今天的动物。
