Scientists in Australia have unearthed a 25-million-year-old fossil of a surprisingly small, ancient whale species.
This newly discovered whale, Janjucetus dullardi, possessed unusually large eyes and razor-sharp teeth, a striking contrast.
Despite its cute appearance, this carnivorous whale was a formidable predator in its ancient ocean environment.
The discovery sheds light on the evolutionary journey of whales, from fierce hunters to the gentle giants we know today.
