The name means "Big Tooth."
no one knows for sure
Megaladons fed upon other animal like early whale.
Yes, megalodons are extinct. They lived approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago and are not believed to have survived into modern times.
Climate change made food supply get too low to support such a large animal.
Given that megaladons grow to be up to 10x the size of swordfish/marlins, you'd put your money on that.
according to fossil records, megalodon fossils are found all over the world, back when it lived, megalodons lived in warm water
No. They are extinct 1.5 million years ago.
Archeologists have recovered up to 7 inch long Megalodon tooth fossils.
if megalodens still are alive that would be horrible but no one nos for sure there could be more animals that we have not discovered
Brackish they live in brackish Brackish water is a mixture of salt a fresh water like for example the....... Chesapeake bay
Yes, megalodons were real. They were a species of giant prehistoric sharks that lived approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago. Evidence of their existence comes from fossilized teeth and vertebrae found in marine sediments. While they are extinct, their legacy continues to capture the imagination of people today.
Megalodons were apex predators of their time, exhibiting ferocious feeding behaviors. Their massive jaws, filled with rows of sharp teeth, allowed them to efficiently hunt large marine animals, including whales. Evidence suggests they employed ambush tactics and powerful bites to incapacitate prey, indicating a highly aggressive feeding strategy. Their size and strength made them formidable hunters in the ancient oceans.
