Perucetus was published and described on August 2nd, 2023 and is the largest fossil vertebrate discovered to date. In this video filled with beautiful and fun animations, we will learn more about this animal's discovery, wild size estimates, and what it's role in the prehistoric ocean's ecosystems may have been. "Nature's Compendium" has officially surpassed 50,000 subscribers and I hope that we can all end the year on a good note with a fun video on such an amazing animal. Thank you all for supporting me and my channel over the years and I hope you enjoy the video!
