Was it Orca or Sperm Whale? It has to be either of these 2 lmao

From what I've read, most modern scholars agree it was likely a sperm whale. The Roman records about how it sank ships, and descriptions of the body after it washed ashore (before being butchered and consumed by the locals), support the idea.

This video is a good breakdown of it: https://youtu.be/K9rZ9OFQEgw?si=7rF8KuHKQfMi-Joc
