Explanation

Hippos are the closest living relatives of whales among land mammals. Both belong to the order Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates). Genetic and fossil evidence shows whales evolved from early artiodactyls, making hippos their nearest terrestrial cousins. Warthogs are also artiodactyls but more distant.
