Livyatan was the biggest prehistoric whale that ever lived, and a pound-for-pound match for the giant shark Megalodon.

Livyatan is an extinct genus of sperm whale containing one species: L. melvillei. The genus name was inspired by the biblical sea monster Leviathan, and the species name by Herman Melville, the author of the famous book Moby-Dick about a white bull sperm whale. Wikipedia
