It lived in the ocean, but scientist are still not sure exactly where. Scientist assume that the creature inhabited the sea's around Australia, because of fossils found there.]]> 2016-08-18 17:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ab_primavera12/7e1n1764nxhy/wish/118803908 What kind of animal??? ab_primavera12 https://padlet.com/ab_primavera12/7e1n1764nxhy/wish/118811013 The Leviathan Melvillei was a whale that lived underwater. The creature was part of the sperm-whale family; even today you can see the similarity.]]> 2016-08-18 18:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ab_primavera12/7e1n1764nxhy/wish/118811013 Where was the fossil found??? ab_primavera12 https://padlet.com/ab_primavera12/7e1n1764nxhy/wish/118814869 The fossils from the Leviathan Whale, where found in Pisco-Ica desert,  in Peru. This tells us that the climate millions of years ago, was very wet. Over time the water dried up and became a desert, leaving us the fossils of creatures that died.]]> 2016-08-18 18:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ab_primavera12/7e1n1764nxhy/wish/118814869 What can scientist learn from these fossils??? ab_primavera12 https://padlet.com/ab_primavera12/7e1n1764nxhy/wish/118816461  Scientists use fossils to gather information about the lives and evolutionary relationships of organisms, for understanding geological change and even for locating fossil fuel reserves.  Fossil remains can give us insight into how prehistoric plants and animals obtained food, reproduced and even how they behaved. At times fossils can also provide evidence for how or why the fossil organism died. ]]> 2016-08-18 18:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ab_primavera12/7e1n1764nxhy/wish/118816461 Resources ab_primavera12 https://padlet.com/ab_primavera12/7e1n1764nxhy/wish/118819091 The research resources I used are written below:
