Newly discovered ancient whale may have been heaviest animal ever

Scientists in Peru claim they've discovered 39-million-year-old fossils of the heaviest animal to ever live, an ancient whale they're calling P-Colossus. Each vertebra weighs more than 220 pounds and the ribs measure nearly 5 feet long. Researchers think the animal weighed 700,000 pounds when alive.

It's incredible how they can find a few bones that are millions of years dead and start spouting about what the animal looked like, what it ate and it's genital day to day activities.
