    Cetotheres were ancient cetaceans known to have been one of Megalodon's favorite foods.

    Apparently, at least one cetothere- the pygmy whale, which is NOT related to right whales after all- managed to survive to these days, although it remains one of the rarest and less frequently seen amongst marine mammals.

    I can already see the Megalodon fanboys using the living cetothere as an argument supporting the giant shark's existence. :cool:
