What methodology was used to classify it as a whale? Any working theories on why the teeth evolved away? When was it first discovered and when was it first identified as a whale fossil? Where there others nearby? Is there a working theory to try to identify its habitable range and search for other fossils? Hmmm….seems to me this article is a bit anemic.

I knew all along there was a cetacen whose ways were beyond benign. i am not surprised but relieved that a creature of this magnatude was finally found. Imagine this eating sharks too! if this fella was around today the ocean wouldn't be a safe place. if he does exist in a crypto way don't look for him. this thing is all for the scientist and not a fantasy we like to see in the sea. now the reality bites! incredible!
