No. It is the largest carnivorous fish known to have existed, and quite possibly the largest shark to have ever lived. It is believed that the average size of the megalodon was between 12 metres (39 ft) and 18 metres (59 ft).

But the size of a modern female blue whale is over 30 mtrs (115 feet) which makes so far as we know the largest animal that has ever existed. ( Until we find fossils of something bigger).

So the Megalodon was probably bigger than some smaller whales but not the Blue whale.

Also since sharks don't have a bony skeleton this size is an estimation based on the assumption that the size to tooth ratio is the same of present large sharks but this could be in error.

Who is stronger megalodon or killer whale?

I know that a megalodon is stronger. A megalodon was an extinct species of shark, and it was even bigger than a great white. A man that was five to six feet tall could step through its jaws without touching the mandila. A blue whale can be dangerous, but it is a slow-moving animal and does not have many defense mechanisms, but being hit with its tale could be fatal, though very unlikely.
