Livyatan was a giant sperm whale that lived in the ocean millions of years ago. It had huge teeth and was one of the biggest hunters in the sea. It was not a dinosaur, but a mammal like whales today.1

1

Livyatan had teeth up to 36 centimeters (over 14 inches) long, bigger than any other sperm whale.1

2

Its skull was about 3 meters (10 feet) long, making it the largest fossil sperm whale skull known.1

3

Livyatan lived at the same time as the giant shark Carcharocles megalodon, and both were top predators.1

4

Scientists think Livyatan could bite harder than any other four-legged animal ever found.1

5

Unlike modern sperm whales that suck in food, Livyatan used its teeth to hunt and tear large prey.1

6

The name Livyatan comes from a Hebrew word for a sea monster, and the species name melvillei honors the author of Moby-Dick.1
