Ambulocetus (Greek for "walking whale"); pronounced AM-byoo-low-SEE-tuss. It's said to live 50 million years ago. It was 10 feet long and weighed half a ton, and had webbed feet, a narrow crocodile-like snout, and internal (rather than external) ears. Some believe it's the ancestor to the whale we know today.
The Constanza, created by Connie Marcum Wong, consists of five or more 3-line stanzas. Each line has a set meter of eight syllables. The first lines of all the stanzas can be read successively as an independent poem, with the rest of the poem weaved in to express a deeper meaning. The first lines convey a theme written in monorhyme, while the second and third lines of each stanza rhyme together. Rhyme scheme: a/b/b, a/c/c, a/d/d, a/e/e
