I bet it went extinct because it violated international whaling regulations.
Yes. The first act of whale cannibalism occurred when two whales landwrecked and one at the other out of desperation.
He thus violated the regulations and was sentenced to death. The executioner was another Leviathan melvillei, and the sentence was death by being eaten.
Of course, the executioner thus violated the regulations....

This poor critter is not the only prehistoric creature that fell victim to this trap: Eunectes ouroboros went extinct when every single specimen ate itself from the tail up.

Seriously, though. I see that being the wise old whale that all the other whales look up to. Then they started the revolution.
