The extinction of the megalodon, the giant prehistoric shark, is believed to have been caused by a combination of factors, including changes in climate, competition for food sources, and possibly a decline in suitable habitat.
The density of a shark varies depending on its species, size, and body composition. On average, the density of a shark is close to that of water, which is about 1,025 kilograms per cubic meter.
The maximum bite force of a great white shark is estimated to be around 1.8 tons per square inch (psi).
In water, sharks can weight 50 pounds, land they weight to 100 to 500.
The peregrine falcon is faster than a bullet when it dives during flight, reaching speeds over 240 mph.
The skin of rays is similar to that of sharks. It's not the skin, but the placing of the scales is different on each animal. Both sharks and stingrays have scales called dermal denticles (meaning skin teeth). Each scale has the same structure as a shark's tooth. The difference is that a shark's dermal denticles are all aligned pointing to the rear of the shark while a ray's scales are more spread apart and are in an irregular pattern. Sting rays are smooth creatures that feel something similiar to velvet. They feel strong, but the skin feels as if it has a slime coating, though none will deposit on your hands if you touch them.
The correct spelling of the prehistoric shark is Megalodon.

The tooth of a megalodon, a prehistoric massive killer shark, was found in Michigan. Carcharodon megalodon, or the "megatooth" shark went extinct 2 million years ago. It reached lengths of more than 60 feet.
Some say It was closer to the great white than the mako. Some say mako is closer. The people who think the Great White is closer to the Megalodon gave it carcharodon and others who say not Carcharocles. So it could be Carcharodon megalodon or Carcharocles megalodon.
No It is said by scientists that the Megalodon [from the prehistoric era] is the most dangerous and it can go up to 18 meters long.
