Answer 1

Answer: The dorudon and the basilosaurus are extinct animals that share a connection with humpback whales.

No, I don’t think that the fossil record is complete because scientists are still discovering new species in the ocean right now.

Answer 2

Indohyus and Pakicetus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Indohyus and Pakicetus are the extinct species that share a close evolutionary relationship with humpback whales. The differences between Indohyus, Pakicetus and humpback whales is that both Indohyus and Pakicetus have legs and are land animals whereas whale do not have legs and lives in the ocean. The similarities between Indohyus, Pakicetus and humpback whales is that the head of Indohyus and Pakicetus had the distinctive long skull shape of a whale's.
