This Prehistoric Sperm Whale Was A Leviathan

Don’t call this a Leviathan even though the name might sound similar. This was Livyatan.

Taking a deep look at the past and the animals that lived in it.

[Amy-ilmq]

I love the skulls of theses whales because they look like something you'd find in a video game that was made up to look as scary as possible.

[mcsmith]

Danielle does the most soulful critter illustrations! That "Livyatan" looks so happy!
Probably because it's so nice to be brought back to life and remembered when your entire species has been extinct for 9 million years.

[DanGamingFan]

They sound like a leviathan straight out of Subnautica If I had the chance to see any prehistoric predator, it would be this one.

[TheBigG]

*“Multiple leviathan class lifeforms detected are you sure whatever your doing is worth it?“*

[Jimera]

When I learned about this thing recently I was both shocked and annoyed that I hadn't heard of it until then, considering it's the leading contender for the largest active predator in the planet's history. I couldn't understand why such an awe-inspiring beast had so little presence in pop culture. Hopefully with videos like this one giving it some overdue exposure, we'll start seeing more of it!

[CoralReaper]

Livyatan is such a beautiful and epic creature that deserves more credit and respect.

[PaperThinArmor]

The thought of this living around the time of megalodons and maybe even preying on them is interesting

[touremuhammad]

Fun fact: Scientists have speculated that Livyatan went extinct due to competition with Orcas, which hunted the same prey but were smaller. This was similar to how competition with Great White Sharks caused Megalodon to go extinct, which was around the same time as Livyatan.

got to see the skull in the national museum of natural history in lima, peru. AND IT'S HUGE

[freddyjosereginomontalvo]

Woah, this Leviathan and the Megalodon were truly the terror of the prehistoric sea.

[tonyp]

I can't get over how good Danielle's illustrations are. I sometimes miss parts of the presentation watching the sketch unfold. Very cool

[ahsanhaider]

I am deeply impressed by the channel's artist who creates these meticulously accurate anatomical sketches.

[zwiebeldogs]

You and Lindsay Nikole uploading about the same topic within an hour. That's a sign for me to travel to the deep seas

[Dumbledalf]

Livyatan would probably have been my worst fear, tbh

[majinvegeta]

Deep dives in a prehistoric ocean must have been quite the experience. One of my favorite marine animals has always been the dunkleosteus with the 2nd either the meg or leviyatan. Life amazes me to this day but I find it absolutely fascinating some of the creatures that have roamed this planet. The mesozoic era was a cool time in earths history and would be really cool to visit the jurassic, triassic and cretaceous periods separately to see how much things changed between each epoch

Title: "This was a leviathan"
First words: "Don't call this a leviathan"

[yeeturmcbeetur]

Leviathan vs Megalodon is going to be a movie now huh 😅

[Voc_spooksauce]

Not only are the hosts in this channel well-versed, but also stylish as hell

[dingokidneys]

I'm really enjoying these videos and watching Danielle's drawings come together is a fun element.

[Torbu]
