Kraken
Fossils have been found that suggest the mythical sea monster known as the kraken may have once roamed the seas preying on whale-size animals. Ichthyosaurs were razor-toothed marine reptiles larger than school buses believed to have dominated the oceans of the Triassic Period. But paleontologist Mark McMenamin has questioned this titan of the deep’s title with evidence that suggests the mighty ichthyosaurs may have been prey for a much larger creature of mythic proportions — the kraken! If you are imaging a godzilla-like reptile and shouting “release the kraken!” you have the wrong idea. McMenamin believes the mythical kraken of the 18th century, resembling a monstrous squid- or octopus-like creature believed to devour ships and their crew, may have existed millions of years before in the Triassic period.
The proposed Triassic kraken, which could have been the most intelligent invertebrate ever, arranged the vertebral discs in double line patterns, with individual pieces nesting in a fitted fashion as if they were part of a puzzle. An octopus killing larger ocean predators is not unheard of -- one in the Seattle Aquarium was caught killing a shark on-camera by wrapping its body around the shark and overpowering it. We think that this cephalopod in the Triassic was doing the same thing. It was either drowning them or breaking their necks. Among the evidence of the kraken attacks are many more ribs broken in the shonisaur fossils than would seem accidental and the twisted necks of the ichthyosaurs. I think it is time to release the Kraken!
Leviathan
The biggest prehistoric whale that ever lived, and a pound-for-pound match for the giant shark Megalodon, Leviathan did its Biblical namesake proud. Extrapolating from its 10-foot-long skull, paleontologists believe that Leviathan measured upwards of 50 feet from head to tail and weighed as much as 50 tons, about the same size as a modern sperm whale. This made Leviathan by far the largest predatory whale of the Miocene epoch, about 13 million years ago, and it would have been secure in its position at the top of the food chain if not for the equally ginormous prehistoric shark megalodon. Because of the lack of multiple fossil specimens, we’re not sure exactly how long Leviathan ruled the seas, but it’s a sure bet that this giant whale occasionally crossed paths with the equally giant prehistoric shark megalodon.
While it’s dubious that these two apex predators would have deliberately targeted one another, they may well have butted heads in the pursuit of the same prey. If you think T-Rex was equipped with some impressive choppers? Leviathan possessed the longest teeth, excluding tusks of any animal living or dead, about 14 inches long, which were used to tear into the flesh of its unfortunate prey. Amazingly, Leviathan even had bigger teeth than its undersea archenemy megalodon, though the slightly smaller teeth of this giant shark were considerably sharper. Because of a lack of fossil evidence, we don’t know precisely how long Leviathan persisted after the Miocene epoch. But whenever this giant whale went extinct, it was almost certainly because of the dwindling and disappearance of its favorite prey.
