There are likely several reasons why the Megalodon Shark became extinct:

-The rise of the Panama isthmus blocked off breeding grounds

-Killer Whales may have preyed on Megalodons

-Great White Sharks out-competed the juveniles

-Whales became faster and were harder to catch

-The climate became colder and Whales moved to warmer waters
