The following is the translation of the 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Prehistoric mammal called Perucetus colossus will bear the title as the heaviest animal that ever existed. New findings about this giant whale are revealed in a report published from the journal Nature."
P. colossus is a type of cetacean. This group of mammals that live in the water includes modern whales, dolphins, and porpoises. Scientists estimate that this colossal relative lived 39 million years ago. The fossil was found in southern Peru.
The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is as follows: "Fossil backbone and rib bones from extinct whales indicate that their weight may have exceeded that of modern blue whales."
The researchers estimate that the skeleton alone can weigh between 5 and 7 metric tons (approximately 11,000 to 15,500 pounds). This amount is two to three times larger than the skeleton of a blue whale, which measures 25 meters (82 feet) in length. Thirteen vertebrae from the giant whale weigh over 100 kilograms (220 pounds). Each vertebra on its back is heavier than a baby elephant.
The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The heavy bones indicate that the whale lives in shallow coastal waters. To dive deeper, whales need a lighter skeleton. It would allow them to resurface without working too hard."
In total, the team's estimate shows that P. colossus can have a weight between 85 and 340 metric tons. This figure is at least comparable to the weight of a typical blue whale, but it can reach about eight times the weight of eight passenger jets. In fact, determining the actual mass of this animal is difficult because fossils only provide a rough picture of the weight of muscles, organs, and other soft tissues.
Perucetus shows that cetaceans have developed gigantism at least twice, namely relatively recently with the evolution of the large baleen whale, and around 40 million years ago. These giant sea creatures are curated at the Natural History Museum of the National University of San Marcos in Peru.
