Wow lovely! Very cool model, and all look so beautiful. The calf looks great. I look forward to it. Also "orca whales" ... orcas are actually dolphins, too! They're the largest species of dolphin. :D My only other thing is... bubbles coming out of he mouth? Noooo... they should be coming out of the blowhole which is the nose!
Ankylorhiza (meaning "fused roots"; in reference to the type of dentition seen in early toothed whales) is an extinct genus of toothed whale that lived in what is now the United States during the Oligocene epoch, between 29 and 23.5 million years ago. The type and only known species is A. tiedemani, though two fossil skeletons may represent an additional, second species within the genus. Ankylorhiza was about 4.8 meters (16 ft) long, with a long, robust skull bearing conical teeth that were angled forwards at the tip of the snout.

First
Why ppl are not commneting
Why does everybody keep showcasing the sounds under the water? You can hear them way better above water
I realized that way afterwards lol
Who created this mod?
We have eurihno
Yes, but that’s an official creature and not a Mod
And eurihno is more of a swordfish than dolphin
