The jaws of the Leviathan: by Nature Video
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- The fossilized skull and jaw of a giant, 12--13 million-year-old sperm whale have been discovered off the coast of Peru. The creature, whose discovery is reported in this week's Nature, belongs to a previously unknown genus of sperm whale and has been named in honour of Herman Melville, the author of Moby Dick.
The fossil was found in ocean layers where the giant shark has also been recorded and the authors suggest that these two giant, raptorial predators could have lived in the same area, feeding on large, marine vertebrates, such as baleen whales.
My god, what a monster this thing was.
Not even the king of the sea (Great White Shark) would dare to challenge this beast. Leviathan was definitely one of (if not the most) ferocious creatures in the sea.
and holy sh**, its not just from subnautica.
@@chaosinorder9685 Great White isn't the king, It's Orca.
@@ardi1606 it's megalodon not orca.
@@chocoburgersenpai1627 nope, it's human. Megalodon ain't shit against us.
At one time all whales were toothed whales as they evolved from a toothed mammal. Very interesting video and well done. Moreover, it appears the teeth although not mentioned here, were self sharpening.
Funny thing about evolution. How come we don't have fossils of things inbetween? Like a whale somehow functioning while having half teeth and half baleen while it's attempting to evolve each generation.
@@hydraxc2478 we do have fossils of in-between species, but you can't expect to have fossils of all species, because the conditions for bones to fossilize are extremely rare.
@@Player-re9mo We don't have examples of what I'm talking about though. Always the full versions of the end evolution.
@@hydraxc2478 literally every fossil is "in between" lol. What a stupid question. You know we have basically the whole lineage of animals from pakicetus to modern whales right? You might be able to try that goofy argument with other animals that we haven't found a strong record of but whales aren't it, we damn near have their evolutionary record of fossils step by step.
@@themonsterbabyYou're a real beauty aren't you? Pedantic prick. Get bent.
if we're judging the outcome of the fight based on bite force and sheer teeth size then the meg and leyv were both hunted to extinction by Tony Robbins who after he consumed them all evolved to live on land and started selling his self help books
You're killing me with that picture of a humpback that you put up to show a blue whale.
Still, great video.
We cannot really say which one is bigger. The biggest in a few thousands of megalodons almost certainly outsize Livyatan. Similarly, Livyatan almost certainly outsizes the smallest megs. Much more is difficult to say because it depends on the varying figures existing for both, but this is no orca/gws-situation were the whale simply has a significant size advantage that it employs effectively to dispatch its prey.
In Hebrew "leviathan" means a whale.
1:04, listen to how badly that sentence has been chopped up lol
if you look at both ancient hebrew, ancient greek and the present day bible.. it explains why the leviathan is a whale
in the ancient jewish mythology it says that the leviathan is a 300 mile long whale. In modern day hebrew.. Leviathan means "whale"
and also there are 3 types of monsters:
-The Leviathan (Sea Creature)
-The Behemoth (Land Creature)
-The Ziz (Dragon)
megaledon vs mother in law...
who would win?
George Johnson They might just team up and screw us all over
Oh definitely the mother in law, the megalodon just isn’t as intimidating 😂
They would both be a meg you brain dead???
MeGAleDown
Zen jeong rebelle its a mother in law idiot not mother
Leviathan is used both on the video above and in even in the description paper, it can be used to refer to it, as a common name.
I saw a recent Video on a Sperm Whale that got sick & washed ashore in the UK. When they were doing the Beach Autopsy they found a Tooth in one of the Upper holes of the jaw where the modern Sperm Whales Teeth rest. It must have been a throwback to this Giant
How could this be 12-13 million years old when the earth is only 6000 years old??!?
Just kidding. Great find. Isn't there a coaster named after this at Canada's Wonderland?
YEAH WHAT THE HEEEELLLLLLLLL DAY FLI
We indigenous people of Australia believed in a creature that has a tail like a cedar, it is painted in caves as rock arts, these stories were told by our ancestors....
They saw whales..
This story was told LONG before aboriginals
This thing went extinct 12 million years before humans existed bruh
@@fart63 youre ignorant do your research if humans lived with dinosaurs before the flood how could your statement be true. Wether you believe in the Bible are not every religion and nation has a history of a world wide flood how would they know this if humans weren't arounf
@@XaeSpaceTv do you people understand how often floods happen? All over the world? Of course every nation and religion has reports of a massive flood. Floods happen all the fucking time. And humans were not alive when dinosaurs were, so what are you talking about?
Fascinating! So, I think that Megalodon finally has a rival :))
Its 2x bigger than meg
AcriesGaming roblox I think it’s as big as the meg, but smarter.
@@VladSicoe its about as big as 3 blue whales according to the bible i think
AcriesGaming roblox the actual animal that lived so long ago is about the meg’s size. You’re reffering to the biblical monster.
@@VladSicoe k but im suprised that u replied after 9 years
There is a similar skeleton on my sinai... Some guys doing some biblical search on Google maps found it a couple years back... The named it the same thing. But someone needs to go dig it up and compare the two species ...
Livyatan is the name, not Leviathan. Leviathan is something else.
Lol im dutch and i cringed so hard when he said utrecht like that

The Bible says it's bigger and it's powerful then anything man has ever seen and it lives at the bottom the ocean and it's waiting for its appointed time to come up out of the ocean by almighty God isn't that awesome amazing
The creature in the video is a whale not something from the bible
The word Leviathan can be used for anything, it is entirely up to the person using it.
By the way I'm Christian and your comment needs to be deleted.
Thanks.
Leviathan was the genus name for this creature, which is now called Livyatan as another creature was all ready called Leviathan.
So ya Leviathan can be used for anything but if a creature is named Leviathan, your talking about that creature, not anything.
@Horrorlord1 Lol what about it? Its a common error to thing that Liopleurodon would be a match for megalodon. For starters, they lived millions of years appart, unlike this whale, and second, Megalodon was 10-15 ft larger, had a stronger bite, was probably faster, and had more developed sense of a shark.
whale can beat sharks and may be he can kill megaloden just like orcas kill great white
@pyroman1000k Thats the average size of megalodon and max size of leviatha. Newer estimates put it at 20.5 meters. Leviathan never reached 20 meters. Even the articles said they ranged from 13 to 18 meters max.
I thought the leviathan was like a sea dragon. Which obviously I know there's no such thing as dragons but that's the pictures you see when you look it up
@pyroman1000k I don't understand why you guys are even arguing about this. We barely know anything about this creature other than it has 14 inch teeth. Most of the tooth is root just like predator x's tooth. In some article, they mentioned it's teeth were heavily rooted. I'm assuming 6 or 7 inches of the teeth is actually visible when on the leviathan.
Actually, they lived about 10-5 mya not 13-12 so...nitpick!
Still, Livyatan's one of my favorite prehistoric whales and it would make a great opponent for Otodus megalodon.
Well u also have to look at the bible where the name originally comes from "Leviathan" and it was the most feared animal in the water serpent-like and it describe it as teeth so close to each other that air can not come between it, this might it been it.
Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?
Monstro the whale in real life
@pyroman1000k there is not many vertebrae... they are very very rare as far as i know, and what site? do i find it through your profile? does it give an size estimate based of the vertebrae there like you say?
And its Funny how some kids fight saying a megaldon will eat this haha cmon we all know even a Killer Whale will kill a white shark the same think its aplid for this. Its just like this: Leviathan was bigger and have bigger theets than the Megalodon so Megalodon will be ripped off in a fight.
@pyroman1000k and meg have 41 000 i think? great whites have 3500 something if memories serve, again you show lack of knowledge.
I'm no scientist, but still, looking at the skull of an Orca compared to a Sperm Whale and this beast; I would say Livyatan was a prehistoric Orca, not a prehistoric Sperm Whale.
@pyroman1000k yeah i know that. a large meg would have 7 in. plus sized teeth... but unlike leviathan it would have had a much larger number of much more damaging teeth... as for the sperm whale, its hardly suited to engage large massive creatures. max size of meg is currently at 67 or so feet and 103 tons, about the same max size as a sperm whale (estimates for a sperm whale above 20 meters are now considered dubious or false) Meg had a huge number of teeth in a huge mouth, a deadlier bite
But in their cladogram of July 2010, they've updated it since.
Leviathan is the common name, but not the technically adequate name. The guys think it is the accurate technical name.
I wonder if they used echo location?
All whales do
MR TRU
Baleen whales don’t.
Just toothed whales.
Livyatan Melvillei was close match for normal megalodon, but large populations of female megalodons were on average size 15 to 16 meters long and weighed 40 to 50 tons. The most reasonable estimate for Livyatan Melvillei is 16 metres long, weighing 50 tons, and even the megalodon, which is 16 metres long, is enough to make Livyatan Melvillei feel the strain. So far, the reasonably largest megalodon is 20 to 21 meters long and weighs 90 to 100 tons, fully twice the size of Livyatan Melvillei, which is still no match for the large individual and the largest individual megalodon. At the same size and weight, Livyatan Melvillei already couldn't deal with megalodon anymore.
both of them ond have the largest and strongest jaws of any terrestrial animal that has ever lived on this planet maybe rivaled by the dunkleostus or mosasaurus or maybe not idk, plus there isnt a huge difference in 16 meters and 21 meters, and even if there is if you look at its jaw thickness at the teeth of the leviathan which are twice as long and are much thicker than the megalodons teeth, this thing wouldve only needed a single bite to kill any megalodon, and the same goes for a megalodon killing a leviathan
How did they estimate this though?all they have is teeth just teeth
@@Theguywhoasked9459 and fossilised vertebrae, they're rare though
@fmoa Great whites generally avoid attack areas like the rib cage but Megalodon's target that. They also target flippers and the thiner parts towards the back so they can stop the prey from moving.
I'm Christian and I've read Job where it discribes the leviathan and it has scales, which mammals do not (whales are mammals) the leviathan breaths fire, which is not very useful for a whale, in the sea.
Levi Froese Froese hi.... a christian here..... maybe theyre talking about some kind of reptile.... a bible's reference of dragons ?
Levi Froese Froese They named it Livyatan because it's like the horrifying and powerful creature from your book.
+Levi Froese Froese Leviathan from the Bible was a Nile crocodile.
Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus no it wasn’t
Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus all you did was look that up
Try reading the actual book
@pyroman1000k ... you employ child like logic here... we do not have complete skeletons to go off with meg, ever heard of a dinosaur having an accurate size estimate based off one bone? me nether... we use charcharias as a reference and use megalodon teeth to give size estimates, thats how it has ALWAYS been done by EVERYONE. no matter how much you insist on its silliness it does not change that fact.
@pyroman1000k ... i just said that... do you even read what i write? i said a few vertebrae have been found... its not an imprint, and imprint like you suggested was that the cartilage skeleton of a meg was fossilized in mud etc etc and later found... an imprint of meg's skeleton.. and like i said above, vertebrae found can not be used for size estimates as there is only a few ever found and it is harder to estimate size from then as opposed to teeth, which there are a few equations on as of now
@pyroman1000k ... the orca killed a young great white, 3 meter if memories serve... again you show little knowledge beyond the general incident... and many believe meg were at least somewhat related to great white and its kin, which have live babies... a meg's infant would be 4 meters long i believe.
Oh man glad it got extinct. NO hate towards animals though.
Lightning Bolt 665 we are not dead if it was alive, cause we are land mammals, your grammer is kinda bad

So I’m thinking here bout how loud a modern sperm whale can echolocate we’re talking a range where it can actually kill a man. Like a rocket engine. Which in itself is terrifying but I’m thinking here just about a little whale swimming around doing baleen whale stuff and all of a sudden the baleen whale species is just overwhelmed by this crazy loud sound. Over whelming the whales senses than......... Boom 2-3 city busses of prehistoric sperm whale just mop the floor with that baleen whale or sharks seals pretty much anything it could get was just mowed down like a watermelon in a UA-cam ad. Secondly I wonder if some of the other species of toothed whales could jam it but good god you imagine swimming around and all of a sudden a living Russian typhoon starts swimming after you. Game over man we all loose god fearing things a monster. Jeez
Orcas or killer whales are not whales they are Part of the Dolphin family
They are
what an absolute unit. Im in awe at the size of this lad.
its gonna take long to finish tie bizz coz it just happend few months ago im so excited to hear alot from those
Love to find a tooth like that on my local beach
In the Hebrew bible the leviathan is also stated as being a dragon, but what's strange is that in Hebrew, leviathan actually means whale. So yeah, perhaps a scaly whale?
In Hebrew, it means twisted or coiled.. not whale
Leviathan was no Whale it was Massive Sea serpent Monster that Destroyed Ships it Breathes Fire 🔥 Nothing Could Trespass He’s Double Skin armor
You are intrepreting too much and reacting too much to the harmless use of a name. Watch the video above, they use it too.
And how was a paper updated?
@mjglader -Leviathan was described in detail in the Book of Job, and was clearly a (scaled) sea monster. In Psalms it had mulitiple heads. So until we discover a multiheaded sea dragon, this animal is as good a representation of Leviathan as any. Also, as the man in the video says, the name is more clearly a reference to the novel Moby Dick. So you disagree with how they named this whale, so what. When you discover something cool I'm sure you'll give it a very fitting name!
Very late addition to your answer lmao, but Leviathan and sea monsters similar to it from the regional mythologies were often associated with Whales due to their size too. Does make me wonder if the namers knew about that connection as well.
@@Lotan_ Dang, 10 years! I actually love getting replies to ancient comments I've made here. I honestly don't remember this video, I'm going to have to rewatch it when I get home.
@@jackkoffin1 A blast from the past :D It's definitely worth the rewatch,
That's is just an angry perm whale.
I see that the UA-cam (I'm so original) algorithm has brought (so much thought went into this) us all together (never been said before) again.
Let say the atmosphere in this era is enough for Megalodon and Livyatan's survival.. Would they be hunted down to extinction by men?
They went extinct before humans came
Say what you want, I'll always like the Livyatan more than the Megalodon, and i'll always see it as superior in all ways. You can't change my mind.
No, there is one in at Canada's Wonderland called Leviathan. There is no such coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
so your telling me a sperm whale swallows things as large as a giant squid and could easily swallow a human. HELL NO
Thing is, it simply wouldn't. We're far too small to satisfy its diet. Plus, it feeds on giant squid in deeper parts of the ocean, not necessarily anywhere that the casual beach-goer would be swimming.
InSaynt STILL, the fact that it is capable of doing so is quite disturbing.
HiZzen RekT DAMN NATURE YOU SCARY!!!
NO. Its esophagus isn't large enough.
Well yeah cuz the desert was once ocean
No, you can perform that only on a shark smaller than you, and megalodon was certainly no smaller than Livyatan (not Leviathan, get some updates).
Yes you right man.
@pyroman1000k And what was killing all these animals? Most of these victims didn't die of old age. You can tell what happened to it just by looking at the fossil
This monster can really rival Magelodon.
Is very nices that fossils you lake it is very intresting 😃
Gigantism and dwarfism in marine mammalian species is fascinating. This monster is more than I can imagine, but how this happens makes me wonder if we are missing something important when these fossils get classified? Evolution aside; how did it get so big? The diet of such lifeforms must have been ravenous?
El leviatan puro orgullo peruano el principal enemigo de el megalodon jajaja🐳❤️🇵🇪
jajaja tenemos todo, ahora tenemos a un titan acuatico
The Most Dick was actually a leviathan
Leviathan would just have to bump that Megladon upside down. Game over.
what a funny joke. Its not that easy, the meg will bite the fin and skull, the livyatan can't move and drown. HAHAHA
Complimenti! Félicitations! Congratulations!
leviathan whale is the one whale i wont too see allmost in the world ^^
largest and thickest teeth of any terrestrial animal that has ever lived on this planet
As a frenchman, I'm really disappointed of their english, so bad that I needed subtitles to understand them..
@Allosaurus333 can you write that in proper english so I can understand?
This thing hunted in packs and didnt have cannabilism so it will crush the megalondonosaurus or whatever that shit is
*megalodonosaurus*
@pyroman1000k He never said anything about old being correct. He just said that they always thought it was big. Read the article about megalodon's size on wikipedia. Before saying something like it's inaccurate, the information there is basically a combination of all the things we know about it. It's reverted back to normal if someone changes it and the things they add are inaccurate. Actually read the whole page
someday they should do a documentary about livyatan whens that gonna happen
..Leviathan was a Huge Dinosaur'.. it's in The Book of Job !! 👉🙀🦕👈
HOLY SHEEEET A SPERM WHALE DOUBLE DENTED AND X 10 TIMES AGGRESIVE OMG. WE SHOULD CALL THIS KILLER TITAN THE (U-Predator) Ultimate Predator and i think this monster can pwn both : Megalodon and X Predator
What I hope is that they will find a spot that leviathan has fought with megalodon and won the fight 😁.
Imagine if they hunted in packs like wolves of the seas
By the way for all the people who doesn't know, this is talking about a Sperm Whale species ' *Livyatan* Melvillei' not 'Leviathan' from the bible
*_Leviathan_* was the first name given to that whale, but it was soon changed to *_Livyatan_* when the discoverers found out that Leviathan already was the so-called junior synonym of the genus _Mammut_ in the family Mammutidae, containing the rather primitive proboscideans known as *_mastodons._*
This is quite confusing since the true mammoths belong to the genus _Mammuthus_ in the family Elephantidae and are thus much closer related to modern elephants.
@pyroman1000k If it was 43 feet, it's teeth would appear gigantic and probably wouldn't even fit in that little jaw.
2020...............,. anybody
Leviathan mellevie is pretty cool 😎
Name was changed to Livyatan
Nasze "Słońce Peru" chciał mu założyć wodomierz i się zabił.
I only inform the guys of the accurate name.
The taxonomic revision of Leviathan into Livyatan.
What I’d like to know is, where can you find Livyatan teeth? Megalodon teeth are easy to find, like beaches, diving in coastal areas and old ancient river beds, but where do you find Livyatan teeth? Is there any other place other than Perú? It seems their more rare than megalodon teeth.
@pyroman1000k I know but a 7 inch tooth would definately be from a 60 foot individual. 7 inches is about 2.8 times the size of a great whites' tooth but 60 feet is less than 2.8 times the size of the tooth so if it did have large teeth in comparison to body, it would be 60 feet at smallest for a Megallodon. I honestly don't think that it would have large teeth in relation to body size. It's more likely for it to have smaller teeth in comparison to body.
Il problema... prima o poi verranno alla luce... creature più giganti di questi colossi... anche un leviatano più grande...😍
That's one small step for man, one giant leap for evolution.
Finally an animal that can give Megalodon competition
UA-cam, colossal squid 23 meters actual existence.
@pyroman1000k seriously 13 meters to 15 meters? If the largest Megalodon tooth so far is 3 times the size of a great whites tooth what makes you think it couldn't have been 67 feet long? 60 feet is the smallest possible size for a shark with 7 inch teeth
you are a failure, just like the animal you defend, in the end this useless animal is nothing more than a slow and long animal and at most it would reach 10 meters
It isn't leviathan because in the Bible it is mentioned that leviathan is one and only creature that is created by God himself and he is only one in the word and cannot reproduce nd hi is immortal
You know that several things can have the same name?
They were not living in the same time, the sperm whale survived but has reduced in size such the same way humans are no longer 30 ft. Tall like in the time of the specimen
@sukruoosten im not exactly aware of what you are talking about cause this video has nothing to do with reptiles or anything covered in scales but what you said is amazingly inccorect. i mean i get that a t rex is big an all but trying to say it could have gone into a place like this or anyware in teh ocean that is deeper than lets say an estimated 20ft is just stupid. they didnt know how to swim because there brain is like the size of a walnut and there arms were stubby so....thoery disproved
@pyroman1000k ... i have mine? while i was commenting to you i read up on dozens of sources to make sure i did not remember the wrong thing, or if there has come new knowledge in the field i was unaware of... but i will find the site and see if there is a size estimate there based off vertebrae as you say... if it does not then you will bother me no more with your nonsense and faulty logic... and then do as i say and read some updates sources.
@pyroman1000k . no, i said that the wrong 25-30 meter estimate stood as science for a long time, then someone said "hold on, it actually rly small" around year 2000, and the controversial statement gave attention to those who made it. then someone went back and looked at the findings and facts without tented lenses and concluded that the most accurate estimates were not the newer ones. as for your analogies, they have no place in this discussion, after your blatant lie, you should be more humble
@pyroman1000k and you're very very wrong, for the longest time scientists believed meg to be huge, then some suggested it was not, and became famous for it... then some reminded them that their work had flaws and currently the 20.3 or w/e it was stands as the most accepted max estimate... if you can't accept that then you're not an inquisitive person, just a person with a bias. live and learn, what you read is not always true.
as for the skeleton, you filthy liar... i lost all respect for you
@pyroman1000k an orca can't produce a serious wound on a 12-15 meter whale.. a sperm whale have a huge layer of blubber that must be overcome, an orca's jaw is not that impressive to puncture veins in an adult sperm whale, a cub maybe. you should link to the vid showing that incident-
as for the playing point, whats your point? we're discussing orca's ability to take on a full grown meg, i just ment to say that orca's usually feed on seals and small whales like dolphins etc
@pyroman1000k what? rays are shark, and they eat concealed fish 24/7 other sharks don't bother with them as they have other prey items... and i have never heard of a dolphin using sonar to find a fish so i wont comment on that.
and it only happened in one documented incident, the whaler essex i believe was sunk by a sperm whale, of course fisherman stories would arise from such an incident .... its not rocked science.
@pyroman1000k what has the BBC mishap to do with meg? honestly .. you must be slightly daft. the guy who probably write what you read, Clifford Jeremiah, said that meg was about 15 meters long based off the largest tooth he had in his possession, problem being that far larger teeth exist and his method is a pretty basic one, where one add ft length per in length of tooth. again, gottfried has the most accepted method and he suggested a max size of 67 feet (20 m) and 16 m based off a 6.6 in tooth
