Recent studies revealed that " Basilosaurus isis " had a power bone crushing bite, exerting over 16, 400 to 20, 000 pounds per square inch, arguably the strongest bite force of any organism, rivaling the likes of " Tyrannosaurus rex ", in order to crack open the skulls of young " Dorudon ", which were its preferred prey based on the bite marks found on the skulls of the " Dorudon ".

Hugh Beadnell, head of the Geological Survey of Egypt 1896 1906, named and described " Zeuglodon isis " in based on a partial mandible and several vertebrae from Wadi Al-Hitan in Egypt . described a skull and some vertebrae of a smaller archaeocete and named it " Prozeuglodon atrox " ( = " Dorudon atrox " ) . discovered deciduous teeth in this skull and it was then believed to be a juvenile [ " Pro " ] " zeuglodon isis " for decades before more complete fossils of mature " Dorudon " were discovered.
