Scientists have discovered a new 25-million-year-old prehistoric whale species, Janjucetus dullardi, which looked 'deceptively cute' with cartoonish features resembling a Pokémon, but was actually a feral predator. The species, part of the ancient mammalodontids group, was identified after six years of research following its discovery by amateur fossil hunter Ross Dullard. The find provides insight into the evolution of modern whales.
