Five Megalodon Facts
The Megalodon, an ancient species of shark that existed millions of years ago, is one of the most fascinating creatures to have ever lived on our planet.
With its massive size, incredible hunting abilities, and sharp, serrated teeth, this prehistoric predator was truly a force to be reckoned with.
With that said, let's dig into five facts about megalodons:
What Do We Know About Megalodons?
While much of what we know about these giant predators remains a mystery, researchers have been able to uncover some fascinating information about Megalodons through their studies of fossils and the behaviors of modern-day sharks.
While much of what we know about these massive sharks is mysterious, we do know: the remains of megalodon preserved in fossils have been discovered in the shallow seas that exist along the coastlines and continental shelf areas of every continent, except Antarctica, in tropical and temperate regions.
For example, we know that Megalodons likely had a voracious appetite and hunted large marine animals, and their teeth were some of the largest ever found in the animal kingdom.
However, many questions about these ancient creatures remain unanswered, leaving us to imagine what it must have been like to come face-to-face with one of these incredible predators in the depths of the ocean.
