Livyatan is an extinct genus of giant, predatory whale that lived during the Miocene epoch, around 12 to 13 million years ago. It's known for its massive size and predatory nature, making it one of the top apex predators of its time. The species was related to modern sperm whales but was much larger and had some unique features.

Livyatan is famous for its large teeth, which could grow up to 36 cm (about 14 inches) long. These teeth, along with its powerful jaw, suggest it hunted large marine animals, including other whales. Its name is a reference to the biblical Leviathan, emphasizing its size and might.
