Livyatan melvillei was an enormous hypercarnivorous whale that hunted sharks and other whales. It lived alongside Otodus megalodon and had teeth a foot long. Could this powerful Cenozoic hyperpredator survive in the alien oceans of Planet 4546B from the Subnautica franchise? We'll test Livyatan's ability to handle the cold polar ocean of Sector Zero, hunt aliens for food, and fight off native apex predators like Squidsharks and Chelicerates. Finally, Livyatan will evolve into various Subnautica creatures that could fit into the game, including a gigantic leviathan based on the legend of Moby Dick.

$Paleontology News: Theropods Were As Smart as Primates and Developed Culture How smart were dinosaurs? Were dinosaurs as smart as primates? The debate over theropod intelligence is a continuing one, with factors like EQ and neuron density competing for respect in the scientific community. With isotropic fractionation, we learned that its possible for dinosaurs as smart as primates to have existed. Megatheropods may have been among the most intelligent dinosaurs. How smart was T.rex? T.rex, if its neuron density was similar to those of its close avian relatives rather than nonavian reptiles, could be smarter than a baboon. Dinosaur intelligence is a constantly shifting science, but a technique known as isotropic fractionation may hold the key to unlocking the secrets of ancient dinosaur brains. Suzana Herculano-Houzel investigated dinosaur neuron density and discovered that some theropods may have been as intelligent as primates and modern corvids, suggesting complex problem-solving, tool use, and culture building even in the worlds largest terrestrial predators.
