Since Procopius describes Porphyrios as "sometimes disappearing for a rather long interval," there's reason to suspect that there's a whole lineage of Rome-hating whales rather than 1 Guy. The eventual beached whale was allegedly 13m long, presumably a sperm whale though dolphin-eating is unusual.

this is why you shouldnt believe what you see on the internet. It was actually closer to 50 years. His name was Porphyrios, he actually caused the creation of entirely new trading routes just to avoid him and was declared enemy of the state by Justinian. He is the hero we need.
