Hey Look at That it's the Basilosaurus they are a Prehistoric whales they eat fish sharks squids another Prehistoric animals from North Africa and Asia, They Are Found in North Africa Asia And North America, They Lived in The Ice Age, They Are Borned in 1834,
Basilosaurus is thought to have been one of the largest animals of the Paleogene, with the type species B. cetoides measuring around 17–20 m (56–66 ft) long and weighing up to 15 metric tons (17 short tons). It was the top predator of its environment in the shallows of the inland sea, preying on sharks, large fish and other marine mammals. The smaller dolphin-like relative Dorudon seems to have been the predominant food source of Basilosaurus based on its stomach contents and the bite marks preserved in the skull of Dorudon.
Basilosaurus was at one point a wastebasket taxon before the genus slowly started being reevaluated, with many species of different Eocene cetacean being assigned to the genus in the past. However, most are invalid or have been reclassified under a new or different genus, leaving only two confirmed species. Basilosaurus may have been one of the first fully aquatic cetaceans, sometimes referred to as the Pelagiceti. Basilosaurus, unlike modern cetaceans, had various types of teeth–such as canines and molars–in its mouth (heterodonty), and it probably was able to chew its food, in contrast to modern cetaceans which swallow their food whole.
