Transitional fossils help to fill in gaps in the fossil record. As scientists find more and more transitional fossils, they can refine and confirm evolutionary theories.

In one example, scientists found transitional fossils that show part of the evolutionary history of the modern whale. Around 55 million years ago, a group of hoofed mammals spent more time in the water, eating the ocean’s abundant food. Eventually, these animals left land entirely and evolved into whales.
