Perucetus. A prehistoric whale of the basilosaurid family, known from fragmentary remains discovered on August 2, 2023. Due to the lack of preserved skull bones and only a partial vertebral column, estimating the animal's size is extremely difficult. However, Perucetus is still considered one of the largest representatives of the family. Its approximate size is estimated at 17-20 meters in length and 60-110 tons in weight. It is believed to have been a scavenger or ambush hunter of relatively large marine animals of its time
