There are many reasons to the extinction of the Megalodon Shark. These are the few hypotheses: * They could not survive during the ice age due to extremely cold waters. * There was a lack of food when their prey such as whales migrated to polar regions or became extinct. * The water level became lower after the ice age and caused the Megalodons to have no breeding grounds to reproduce and thus go extinct. *Note that these are just hypotheses are may not be true.
