Massive whale theoretically preyed on other whales
« on: July 01, 2010, 03:51:46 PM »
Appears to be related to the sperm whale, with ~5in diameter 14in long teeth. Mash the link for one of the cheesiest drawing I have ever seen in a news story.

So what does a giant sperm whale with foot long teeth eat? 
Anything he wants.

  1   “Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook
or press down his tongue with a cord?
  2 Can you put a rope in his nose
or pierce his jaw with a hook?
  3 Will he make many pleas to you?
Will he speak to you soft words?
  4 Will he make a covenant with you
to take him for your servant forever?
  5 Will you play with him as with a bird,
or will you put him on a leash for your girls?
  6 Will traders bargain over him?
Will they divide him up among the merchants?
  7 Can you fill his skin with harpoons
or his head with fishing spears?
  8 Lay your hands on him;
remember the battle—you will not do it again!

If'n you's gonna get all biblical, this puts a new twist on the whole controversy about whether Jonah was swallowed by a fish or a whale.  Or at all. =)

Massive whale theoretically preyed on other whales

I can buy the notion that the whale actually preyed on other whales.  I just want to see some evidence that it theorized on the matter.   =|  Besides, why would this whale prey to other whales?  Why not just pray to God, like other mammals do?   ???

I'd say there's pretty good evidence. After all, one day they all sat down and decided it'd be a hell of a lot easier to eat giant squid. Or perhaps it was better PR, maybe all the other whales had banded together and formed a group called 'Save Us (the whales, from those other whales)'

Maybe I've got some borderline dislextica, but I first read that as "I'm having a mental image of being hunted by one of those things in a sub."

Different mental image.

They were wicked and idolatrous whales, and were thus destroyed.
