Scientists have never seen a living megalodon shark because this species, which lived approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago, went extinct long before humans appeared. The megalodon was a colossal predator, but its habitat and prey have significantly changed since its extinction. Additionally, the vastness of the ocean and the depth at which marine life exists make it unlikely to discover remnants of such large prehistoric creatures. Fossil evidence, rather than living specimens, provides insight into their existence.
