The Killer Sperm Whales


"Mid-explaining mode"

In the above picture, I'm posing with the single largest tooth ever discovered in Australia. 
At around 5.2 million years of age, this Physeteroid was a huge macro-predatory whale that fed upon the flesh of small to mid-sized baleen whales. With a skull 3 metres in length (the size of a small car), it dominated oceans worldwide for millions of years, engorging itself on its gigantic prey. 

Im making a documentary about these enigmatic predators. Here's a sneak peek:

We once thought the "great white whale" of Moby Dick fame was only part of fiction. But now, thanks to the discovery of this gigantic tooth and other remains found worldwide, we know that is not the case...  

Imagine 40 of these teeth, the size of 1.25 litre coke bottles suspended in the jaws of a mega-predator

 Moby Dick was real... and it bathed in the blood of other whales, millions of years ago.

The Evolutionary Dead-End Experiments of Crocodiles

Image
It was at this moment that Steve the fish realised he had made a dire mistake (Image via Andy Murch) Crocodiles are NOT living fossils...  They may look ancient, with a smattering of characteristics that make them look like non-avian dinosaurs, but as we dive back throughout the Mesozoic and come up for air in the murky waters of the late Triassic (roughly 230 million years ago), we find that the distant ancestors of the creatures we refer to as the heavily armored   “ Crocodylia ” (a group that includes all “true” crocodiles, caimans, alligators and gharials) look so completely different from their modern counterparts. Many early crocodylimorphs (a term that is used to include modern and long-extinct cousins of crocodilians) were completely terrestrial and include the ~230 million year old “ Trialestes ”, an animal that was originally interpreted as a basal dinosaur, due to its “un-crocodilian” upright stance. Thanks to the fossil record, we have an

Inside Australia’s Giants: The Real Life Drop Bear

Image
Australia, 50,000 years ago.  55 million years of island isolationism created this graphic landscape. Terrestrial life in the "Great Southern Land" would be at its largest at the end of the Pleistocene.  Image via the world renowned palaeo-artist, Peter Trussler. The sun is intense. There's been no reprieve from the heat for the last few days, as sweat glistens on your forehead and flies land on every inch of your body. You're tired; but something has been preventing you from sleeping. For the last few nights, blood curdling screams from an other-worldy creature have pierced the dead silence.  This dry season has been an exceptionally intense one. You look around. Eucalypts dominate the surrounding parched red plain, with small interspersed shrubs and an assortment of weird animals. A small billabong is attracting the megafauna from all around. You see familiar faces on the far side of the water. A mob of red Kangaroos rest in the shade of small salts bushes

Giant Filter Feeding Crocodiles from the Ancient Amazon

Image
Travel back in time to a world ruled by crocodiles. The Amazon jungle during the Middle – Late Miocene (6-10 million years ago) was a terrifying place. 12 metre long caimans such as Purussaurus , weighing more than 5 metric tons, rein supreme. One of the largest Crocodyliformes that ever existed: Purussasaurus (Purr-russ-a-saur-us) . That scale bar is 20 centimetres! This skull is the size of a human being! (Picture via Aguilera et al. 2006) Extreme niche partitioning of crocodile types occur here, with medium sized generalists (such as Melansosuchus - the modern Black Caiman - ) existing along-side crocodiles that specialised on hard shelled organisms such as crabs ( Globidentosuchus ) and by far the most bizarre that existed within this jungle, was the 12 metre long FILTER FEEDING caiman, the duck faced Mourasuchus .  Mourasuchus,  the crocodile that tried to be a baleen whale. That skull is HUUGE; the scale bar is 20 centimetres! (Picture via Cidade et al. 2017) The b
