        There was also an ancient monkey-thing that probably evolved into both humans and kangaroos.

        Jellyfish and coral also share a common ancestor. My favorite is that hyenas aren't dogs at all and are more closely related to cats.

        Nature is just like yeah whatever, evolve and shit

        to be fair you have to go back a ways for that, to the ancestor animals of all ungulates (even and odd-toed hooved animals).

        whales are way closer to hippos and camels and cows and pigs (even-toed ungulates).
