Australian researchers have found evidence that modern baleen whales - now docile filter-feeders - derived from a beast with razor sharp teeth and ferocious eating habits. The findings are based on research of a 25-million year old fossil skull uncovered among cliffs in Southern Australia. The specimen, called Janjucetus hunderi was unveiled at the Melbourne Museum this week.
