    At one time all whales were toothed whales as they evolved from a toothed mammal. Very interesting video and well done. Moreover, it appears the teeth although not mentioned here, were self sharpening.

    We cannot really say which one is bigger. The biggest in a few thousands of megalodons almost certainly outsize Livyatan. Similarly, Livyatan almost certainly outsizes the smallest megs. Much more is difficult to say because it depends on the varying figures existing for both, but this is no orca/gws-situation were the whale simply has a significant size advantage that it employs effectively to dispatch its prey.

I honestly don't think that it would have large teeth in relation to body size. It's more likely for it to have smaller teeth in comparison to body.

      *_Leviathan_* was the first name given to that whale, but it was soon changed to *_Livyatan_* when the discoverers found out that Leviathan already was the so-called junior synonym of the genus _Mammut_ in the family Mammutidae, containing the rather primitive proboscideans known as *_mastodons._*

    Livyatan Melvillei was close match for normal megalodon, but large populations of female megalodons were on average size 15 to 16 meters long and weighed 40 to 50 tons. The most reasonable estimate for Livyatan Melvillei is 16 metres long, weighing 50 tons, and even the megalodon, which is 16 metres long, is enough to make Livyatan Melvillei feel the strain. So far, the reasonably largest megalodon is 20 to 21 meters long and weighs 90 to 100 tons, fully twice the size of Livyatan Melvillei, which is still no match for the large individual and the largest individual megalodon. At the same size and weight, Livyatan Melvillei already couldn't deal with megalodon anymore.

    @mjglader -Leviathan was described in detail in the Book of Job, and was clearly a (scaled) sea monster. In Psalms it had mulitiple heads. So until we discover a multiheaded sea dragon, this animal is as good a representation of Leviathan as any. Also, as the man in the video says, the name is more clearly a reference to the novel Moby Dick. So you disagree with how they named this whale, so what. When you discover something cool I'm sure you'll give it a very fitting name!

      Very late addition to your answer lmao, but Leviathan and sea monsters similar to it from the regional mythologies were often associated with Whales due to their size too. Does make me wonder if the namers knew about that connection as well.

    @Horrorlord1 Lol what about it? Its a common error to thing that Liopleurodon would be a match for megalodon. For starters, they lived millions of years appart, unlike this whale, and second, Megalodon was 10-15 ft larger, had a stronger bite, was probably faster, and had more developed sense of a shark.

Before saying something like it's inaccurate, the information there is basically a combination of all the things we know about it. It's reverted back to normal if someone changes it and the things they add are inaccurate. Actually read the whole page

  • @Ornitholestes1

    the holotypes upper estimate based on zygophyseter is 17,5m, and it was the one with the 36cm teeth. 40cm teeth would belong to something bigger than that, to use the same ratio what´s likely as the teeth are so huge that the holotype would rather have had large teeth as far as individual variation goes, 19,4m. and the largest megalodon tooth was 19,4cm, even it being vastly restored, and would not belong to something bigger than that except when using speculative figures for the ratio.

    @pyroman1000k ... the orca killed a young great white, 3 meter if memories serve... again you show little knowledge beyond the general incident... and many believe meg were at least somewhat related to great white and its kin, which have live babies... a meg's infant would be 4 meters long i believe.
