Odobenocetops was a small whale that lived about 2 million yesrs
ago during the Pliocene. It had two tusks (its name means "walrus-faced whale"),
and in some fossils,
one tusk was longer than the other.
Odobenocetops was about 7 feet (2.1 meters long), and
had a very flexible neck, allowing it to turn its neck
up to 90°. It is believed to have been a bottom-feeder,
and may have used its tusk(s) to help search out food.
It is thought that Odobenocetops may have been among the prey
of the prehistoric giant shark,
Carcharodon megalodon.

Life on earth began in the sea, and in this tour de force of natural history, authority on marine biology and illustrator Richard Ellis chronicles more than three billion years of aquatic history. From the first microbes and jawless fishes that evolved into the myriad species we know today-sharks, whales, dolphins, and, of course, humans-Ellis reveals the deep evolutionary mysteries of the sea. Encyclopedic in scope and complemented by more than sixty drawings, Aquagenesis is a fascinating work that will astonish readers with the wonder, richness, and complexity of the evolution of life.
"Quite simply, the best account we now have of the origins of human life." (Te Christian Science Monitor) |
