USA Today:
Scientists say they've discovered a massive and ancient whale.


Biggest animal ever?

The newly discovered whale, which has been given the Latin name Perucetus colossus (“the colossal whale from Peru”), lived about 39 million years ago. Though its roughly 66-foot length doesn't break records, its weight does. The study estimates it weighed 375 tons − or about as heavy as 35 school buses.
