Perucetus: the Largest Whale Ever?

[@Macrochenia]

While this was undeniably a massive animal, I'm taking the upper guesses on its size with a huge grain of salt given how little remains have actually been found and how common it is for paleontologists to overestimate the size of a newly-discovered species. I'm similarly suspicious of the hypothesis of it being a scavenger- whales don't have a functional sense of smell and that would badly inhibit its ability to find carcasses to scavenge in the ocean.

[@RaptorChatter]

I think that's reasonable. I wouldn't be surprised if it did rival the size of a blue whale, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it was smaller. Still, the vertebrae are very different from other whales, so as someone without a super detailed knowledge of marine tetrapods I don't think it's that outlandish as far as just pure weight is concerned.

[@Indoraptoad]

⁠@@RaptorChatter I, too, don’t have super detailed knowledge of whales, but I know people who do, and everyone I’ve asked seems to agree Perucetus definitely was not larger than a blue whale, and most likely within the 70-80 ton range, making it in the same size range as a fin whale. It was definitely still a very large creature, but the estimates that the original study gives are a bit extreme.

I was also under the impression that animals of that size need to filter feed to get enough energy. Maybe I’m wrong but I find it hard to imagine an animal close to or even heavier than a blue whale surviving on crustaceans.

[@bkjeong4302]

The idea Perucetus was too slow to hunt is almost certainly false, as it ignores that other slow-swimming, coastal basilosaurids were definitely not too slow to hunt and were raptorial predators. The study also used questionable methodology to estimate the size of Perucetus (namely, they massively overestimated how much soft tissue the thing would have had, ignoring that other dense-bones basilosaurids like Antaecetus did not follow the same bone mass:soft tissue mass ratios as living cetaceans).

[@PutRandomNameHere]

Kinda makes me think they added a few kg just to be able to say it's bigger than a blue whale...

[@alioramus1637]

Wonder if Perucetus had the dentition of other basilosaurids. As most basilosaurids were predators.

[@aceundead4750]

I would guess not since many paleontologists believe it would have swam in a manner similar to manatees, but maintaining the predatory nature of it's basilosaurid relatives.

[@RaptorChatter]

I really would love to see that. Basilosaurus also had teeth with many points, which could have been used to slightly filter feed. So I would imagine it's an extreme version of that.

[@TasimanaOG]

@@aceundead4750 personally I believe that it would have been a scavenger and bully potentially as it likely occupied shallower waters just like basilosaurus itself and other basilosaurids like Durodon etc, to me at least - it seems that the Eocene epoch oceans would have been highly active with massive predators such as the otodus sharks too.

[@Tyrell-d6o]

@@RaptorChatter That reminds me of what Leopard Seals do, with their multipurpose, jagged, trident-shaped cheek teeth, which are used to both suction- and filter feed on krill, as well as chew up larger prey like fish, penguins and even other seals. Basilosaurids seem to have those peculiar jagged carnassials which, with a few adaptations, could have served a similar filter feeding function.

There's a ton on the sea floor, and crustaceans wouldn't have been the only thing to be fair. Large clams, sponges, corals, and other things may have also been on the menu. But I also find that idea doubtful, and think the grey whale idea is the best comparison.

Can u explain why mamals can't grow bigger on land cause the joung need time to grow? Sorry if this sounds stupid i just can't rly understand ur reasoning here.

[@RaptorChatter]

Since mammals give live birth their young need to be under a particular size to keep the population going. Elephants as an example breed super slowly, gestation is almost 2 years, and that will be for one offspring. With the resources on land being limiting, as well as just the physical effects of carrying around a large fetus at some point there is a functional limitation where mammals cannot get larger, because their offspring would become to heavy to carry/too resource heavy to develop. In the water the buoyant force helps with the weight issue, and there's more resources, especially along some of the richer areas of production, so those limitations can be avoided somewhat.

[@matthiasrauert8397]

@@RaptorChatter Interessting, thanks for taking time to explain that. Can u give any sources? I would rly like to read up on that since as u know mammals rivaling the seizes of sauropods did certainly exist. Is there an equation that tells us which seize can be reached under which circumstances or is it just hard facts like land mammals just can't get bigger than a certain seize. I just think there is more to it. If larger seize would equal an advantage i think these animal could just have developed to give birth to smaler less developed young so that they wouldn't need to carry them around so much. Even in mammals today there are huge differences in terms of how far developed the joung are born.

Animals don't get that big without a reason. Blue whales are so big because feeding on krill becomes more efficient if you have a large mouth (and proportionally large body because you do need to swim efficiently). Scavenging in the shallows, hunting in the shallows and similar things don't really need that size, and it sounds actually detrimental. There have to be better ways to hold your breath for a long time. Turtles manage 2 hours, how much more do you need?

I have only a basic education in geology, so I'm left wondering what the oceans receding away from the shores means.

Can anyone help?

[@RaptorChatter]

It can vary greatly and for a ton of reasons. A new mountain range being built between two tectonic plates in a shallow sea will displace that water and raise ocean levels other places. A major continental rift where plates are splitting apart will become flooded, and lower water levels elsewhere. Cold temperatures causes glaciers, which drop sea levels. Even locally at convergent boundaries the crust can bend into the sea. The Ghost Forest of the Pacific NW are a good example of that. In this case it's about the cooling of the environment causing less thermal expansion of water, mountains being raised making steeper coastal regions, and less shallow water for something like the basilosaurids to live.

0:25 that seems very unlogical and has to be wrong. 1.) There is no rule that says that mammals have to have giant offspring and "have to grow their young inside of their body". 2.) "that takes a long time" - also wrong. It is faster than in similar sized reptiles because at higher temperatures chemistry and therefore growth and developement works faster. 3.) There is no rule that says mammals have to care for their offspring after birth. Birds lay eggs and still do... So they could give birth to fully developed, selfsufficient young, if they were comparably smaller, which especially in giant species still resulted in pretty big newborns... There must be some other limiting factor, like brain developement.
