A megalodon can match a present day Great White Shark, only a whole lot bigger.

Megalodon - film - was created in 2002.
The scientific name for the megalodon is Carcharodon megalodon.
The duration of Megalodon - film - is 1.5 hours.
There is only one known megalodon species, Carcharodon megalodon. Sometimes it is attributed to a different genus than Carcharodon, so megalodon is often simply called C. megalodon because both possible genera begin with the letter C.
Like other sharks, Megalodon's skeleton is made of cartilage, not bone. That means it doesn't fossilize well. The vast majority of Megalodon fossils that we have are teeth, and we also have a few vertebrae. From these, we can tell that Megalodon was a huge shark, but it is still difficult to get an exact size estimate (maximum figures say it was about 50+ feet long, compared with great whites which are only 20 feet long, at the largest). We also know that Megalodon had a global distribution, and that it lived between 15.9 and 2.6 million years ago. The other thing we know is that they probably ate cetaceans, such as whales, because some whale skeletons from the period show tooth marks that match those of Megalodon.
They both grow to 18m long but the Megalodon can grow 18m or more so I'm guessing the Megalodon:)
Yes. Megalodon died out about 1.5 million years ago.
No, many other organisms came before megalodon.
Yes the Megalodon was a real shark but is now extinct.
