Description
NameFound:Egypt and North America
Time:late Eocene
Name means: (king Lizard)
Fact: Basilosaurus babies might have been eaten by Dorudon(An Early Dolphin like whale) but Basilosaurus might have returned the favor.Β
Basilosaurus Isis from Egypt and Middle east is bigger than cetodies from North America. Basilosaurus is an early whale one of the first with a fully aquatic lifestyle with an exception of its hind legs. The Name Means King lizard is misleading because its a mammal. This was because it was thought to be a mosasaur. They tried to change the name to Zugledon it did not work. Cryptozoological enthusiasts use the term Zeuglodon still.

Yeah the skeleton of the 115-foot Hydrarchos was made from the remains of Basilosaurus and was displayed in a museum. Only later was it found to be a hoax and containing a lot of Basilosaurus fossils.
To be honest, I almost fell for it but saw the head and then when I first heard of the Basilosaurus at some point found that the Hydrarchos was just a hoax.
