A massive whale that lived up to 13 million years ago had the largest predatory teeth ever discovered.
The fossilised skull of a colossal whale with a killer bite has been uncovered by a team who reckon the monster shared the Miocene oceans with a giant shark.

Awesome find, i'm more of a Paleontoligist than a Cryptozoologist and I didn't even know of this creature.

You see, this is why I hate the ocean. We don't know what's down there. There are things down there that could literally bite us in half. And every time you think its safe, we find evidence of something even larger.
