No, the Megaladon shark became extinct millions of years ago. There is an urban myth fueled by a show on the Discovery Channel "Megaladon - The Monster Shark Lives". It's similar to a Bigfoot or Loch Ness monster myth. Many people believe it's true, but there is no scientific evidence to support it.

What shark was bigger than a megaladon?

The Megalodon is an extinct species of shark.The largest species of shark to have ever lived is thought to be the Megalodon. This species is now extinct. It is believed to have existed during the prehistoric era, and has not lived for millions of years. It is thought that this giant shark could measure up to 59 feet long (18 metres). Some cryptozoologists believe that this creature may still be alive today, living in very deep waters, but such claims have earned little credibility in the scientific world. The name Megalodon comes from the Greek and means "big tooth". This name describes the large number and size of the fishes teeth. It is thought that the Megalodon had four different kinds of teeth, Anterior, Intermediate, Lateral and Posterior. Palaeontologists believe that its giant jaws would have contained around 250 teeth.It was the apex predator of its time, this means that the adults were not preyed upon by other animals, as they were at the top of the food chain.Fossil evidence suggests that the Megalodon would have fed upon many other animals, including early whales. It would have had a very large appetite due to its incredibly large size and would have needed to eat in large quantities in order to sustain itself.The Megalodon was a pelagic fish and lived in all the oceans right around the world. It most likely lived in warm water regions, but as the oceans were a lot warmer during the ear that this shark was alive, its dependence on warm water would not have restricted its range. This idea is supported by the fossil records which indicate this species flourished all over the world.As with all sharks, the Megalodon would have been an opportunistic predator. It may have also utilized an ambush technique while hunting in order to catch its prey. It is thought that the Megalodon would have attacked with a lot more power than that of a great white shark. It would have no qualms about focusing attacks on boner portions of its prey, a tactic that the great white shark usually avoids. The Megalodon would inflict as much damage as possible in the first attack and then circle around its prey waiting for it to weaken. This is the same method that a lot of carnivorous sharks use today.There are multiple factors that contributied to Megaladon's extinction:1. As the world got cooler, Megaladon's chief prey, whales, moved into the colder waters where the shark wouldn't survive for long.2. Orcas (killer whales) developed, attacking Megaladon's prey as well as hunting the sharks themselves. A medalodon is a giant prehistoric extinct species of shark.
