But the actual title is not too long at all

"How Viking-Age Hunters Took Down the Biggest Animal on Earth" is far more clicky than informative.
Petty I know, but it actually bothers me that they took the whales up from the ocean, not "down".
Compared to English-language horrors like the right/rite/wright/write homophones, that is a fairly minor nitpick.
Doesn't matter. Its the title.
