Nature Video Channel on YouTube offers this 7-minute minifilm on the newly discovered
Leviathan melvillei . Unlike the modern sperm whale, which basically inhales prey, this ancestor used two jaws full of 36-cm teeth (as I mentioned before, larger than the teeth of the sperm whale, the orca, the megalodon shark, or Tyrannosaurus rex) to chomp the hell out of anything it came across.
