Extinction and how
Some scientists think that the whale went extinct as a result of changing environmental conditions.
The mighty Megalodon also appeared at the same time in the same part of the world. It too was thought to have hunted whales. The two predators were direct competitors, since they may have swam in different parts of the Peruvian seas. Lambert speculates that the adults of either species could have eaten the young of the other but there’s no evidence for this yet. So this may have been another reason they went extinct.
