Melville whales have natural predators.

The natural predators of the Melville whale are the megalodon shark and the arowana. Melville's whale is now extinct, and scientists have found that Melville's whale's natural predators were mainly Megalodon and Carcharodontosaurus, which, along with Melville's whale, are known as "apex predators".

Melville's whale, which lived 13 million years ago, was a large carnivore, larger than any animal seen today. But because only one fossilized skull has been unearthed so far, scientists can only judge the behemoth's size by prediction. Based on its skull, scientists predict it was 13,5 meters to 17,5 meters long, and its teeth alone were 30 to 40 centimeters long.

About the Melville Whale

The Melville Whale, known as the Melville Leviathan Whale, and often referred to as the Mel's Leviathan Whale, is the largest species in the genus Leviathan. Its veil has been difficult to fully lift, and it is relatively certain that it was a giant toothed whale that, like modern toothed whales, lived on carnivorous predation and was the dominant oceanic species in its time of existence.

Melville's whale belongs to the general family of cetaceans, and is closely related to the sperm whales that still live in the oceans today. Not only are they closely related and look alike, but there are differences. Melville's whales have large, square heads filled with blubber known as "whale oil". Perhaps like sperm whales, they are able to use sound waves to detect prey and make sounds to communicate.
