Livyatan melvillei Male

Livyatan melvillei is an extinct whale that terrorized earth’s seas around 9 million years ago.  It was a toothed whale that was similar in size to an adult sperm whale (possibly up to 57 feet in length), but unlike a sperm whale, Livyatan had large, functional teeth in both of its jaws.  Many reconstructions of this whale (which are based on the skull, the only part of the animal that has been found) tend to paint it as a Moby Dick lookalike, but I thought it had much more in common with the skull of the killer whale, so that was the phenotype I decided to emulate.
