On The Scene: Scientists on Wednesday (August 2) put on display fossils of an early whale unearthed in Peru called Perucetus colossus that lived about 38-40 million years ago during the Eocene epoch. The researchers estimated that Perucetus was about 66 feet (20 meters) long and weighed up to 340 metric tons, a mass that would exceed any other known animal including today's blue whale and the largest dinosaurs. The minimum mass estimate for Perucetus was 85 tons, with an average estimate of 180 tons.
