If megladon is still alive is it a threat to people?

If Carcharodon megalodon does still exist, which is unlikely, they are rare. In the case that they came across a human, they wouldn't actively hunt it. Like other sharks, they would only bite a human out of curiosity or misidentification. All in all, they would not pose much of a threat, and definitely not more than that of any other shark.

Is megalodon the shark real?

Yes, it is. But it's already extinct.It WAS real. Although there are some people who believe that megalodon sharks could still exist, in the deepest parts of the ocean, most scientists believe that they went extinct millions of years ago.Megalodon was about 50 to 60 feet long on average, although some may have grown to 100 feet. For comparison, the great white shark today (the closest living relative of megalodon) grows to an average of around 12 to 16 feet, although some can grow as long as 25 feet.See the Related Links below for further reading.


Did the megalodon exist?

Megalodon did exist. Their teeth were commonly found fossils for hundreds of years before it was discovered that they were actually the teeth of a giant shark. Before that, they thought that the teeth were the petrified tongues of dragons! Megalodon were sharks, that may have been up to 50 feet long, and who commonly hunted whales. They existed between 25 and 1.5 million years ago.
