Researchers looking for whale fossils in the Peruvian desert have stumbled upon an interesting find. Fossils unearthed as a result of shifting sands were originally thought to be whale tusks but were eventually identified as the teeth of Leviathan Melvillei, sea monster that lived in the Micone Age, approximately 12 to 13 million years ago. In its prime fighting-shape it would've been three times the size of a killer whale or about 25 meters long.
This is, yet another reason why swimming in pre-historic times would've been a bad idea. And if that wouldn't have been enough of a deterrent to keep you out of the water then maybe this would've been: Behold Megalodon - Jaws' great-grandfather.
