Question

Does anyone know if the prehistoric shark the megalodon is still alive today?

Answer 1

I'm almost 100% sure that it is not.   It was said to be big enough to swallow a blue whale whole, I don't think our planet could sustain an animal of that size at this time.

Answer 2

I have no ideal what you're talking about.

thanks for the 2 points

Answer 3

The Megalodon is a prehistoric creature that become extinct aprox. 1.5 million, which comes to somewhat of a relief as i would not like a creature so fierce to be roaming the seas at this day and age.

Answer 4

Megalodon was an ancient shark that may have been 40 feet (12 m) long or even more. (There are a few scientists who estimate that it could have been up to 50 or 100 feet (15.5 or 31 m) long!) This is at least two or three times as long as the Great White Shark, but this is only an estimate made from many fossilized teeth and a few fossilized vertebrae that have been found. These giant teeth are the size of a person's hand! No other parts of this ancient shark have been found, so we can only guess what it looked like. Since Megalodon's teeth are very similar to the teeth of the Great White Shark (but bigger and thicker), it is thought that Megalodon may have looked like a huge, streamlined version of the Great White Shark.
