I guess you'll have to keep looking.  But I will cheerfully admit that
I haven't the slightest idea what to make of the leg bones!  I
certainly don't think the evidence compels me to believe they came from
land animals.

Note, however, that I did not propose degeneration in the case of the
whales.  You are putting words in my mouth.  (Unintentionally, I would
guess.)
