Things used to be bigger on our little planet. Everything: trees, animals, fishes, all bigger. I wonder if there is an evolutionary explanation as to why organisms are overall smaller than they were in, for example, the Triassic Period. Was the Earth simply more fertile millions of years ago, such that it could support such organisms? Well damn. They discovered this little guy, the whale-eater-of-whales, two years ago and just published the discovery yesterday. Awe-some.
Update: more on this prehistoric whale.
