Description My interpretation of the basilosaurus a prehistoric whale that ruled the seas during the Late Eocene. Basilosaurus means "King Lizard" but seeing how this is a ancient cetacean the name really does not fit, a person did try to get it renamed to Zeuglodon "Yoked Tooth" but per Taxonomic rules Basilosaurus was permanent.


I want a time machine I would love to go whale watching with this beast around. yeah I am crazy.

Your's looks awesome! I love how you added saddle and flank patches, and that little nub "leg" gets me every time x3

Basilosaurus is awesome, and funny thing is I just finished watching "The Whale Killer." the nubs are adorable x3 I wish whales nowadays still had them, would squee everytime they wiggled them.

And thanks, coloring it was fun I saw Basilosaurus as the "Orca" of its time so I gave it somewhat similar pattern.

Haha xD
I would too xD Can you imagine how different two little nubs would make them look nowadays?

No problem I agree!
