The fossilized skull and jaw of a giant, 12--13 million-year-old sperm whale have been discovered off the coast of Peru. The creature, whose discovery is reported in this week's Nature, belongs to a previously unknown genus of sperm whale and has been named in honour of Herman Melville, the author of Moby Dick.

The fossil was found in ocean layers where the giant shark has also been recorded and the authors suggest that these two giant, raptorial predators could have lived in the same area, feeding on large, marine vertebrates, such as baleen whales.

  • your skin will penetrate all that you pierce, now go out freind as you rule the seas strike the wicked fast for you will not be detected nor heard and when you strike they shall panic. cracken go deep and crush the blind fish in your grips and it's poison shall be removed by thy friends beneath,.

  • Bitch I thought this was the mother fucking Megalodon

  • @sukruoosten sry bible you didnt win this round....science prevails. as well as plane logic

  • @sukruoosten im not exactly aware of what you are talking about cause this video has nothing to do with reptiles or anything covered in scales but what you said is amazingly inccorect. i mean i get that a t rex is big an all but trying to say it could have gone into a place like this or anyware in teh ocean that is deeper than lets say an estimated 20ft is just stupid. they didnt know how to swim because there brain is like the size of a walnut and there arms were stubby so....thoery disproved

  • I see, because the U.S. use HAARP in peru - pisco for its research agenda to explore in places of great importance in ancient knowledge and assertiveness have this habit of that. and after being discovered gets the credit and we are kept in ignorance. well anyway it is interesting that of the leviathan turned out to be a whale and not a snake will say that South America after the ancient Atlantis is let to continue their investigations we have resources that have the gringos.

  • Impossible Picture should make new Sea Monsters......
