Largest Sperm Whale Fossil Skull Found – Leviathan Melvillei

A whale eating other whales. It seems weird but the skull of a huge sperm whale recently found off the coast of Peru confirms it. A giant fossil sperm whale skull about 13 million years old and measuring about 10 feet long was found. And yes we are talking only about its head right now.

This is the largest whale skull ever found. According to paleontologists, this whale had teeth in both jaws (unlike current sperm whales) and was most probably feeding upon other whales such as our current baleen whales and killer whales.
