What is the temperature megalodon lived in?
The megalodon, "big tooth" in Greek, from μέγας and ὀδούς) was a mega-tooth shark that lived in the prehistoric times, during the late Oligocene epoch and Neogene period, approximately 25 to 1.5 million years ago, and was a super-preditor.
paleontological research indicates that C. megalodon is the largest and most powerful macro-predatory fish in vertebrate history. C. megalodon is principally known from partially preserved skeletal remains, which indicate a shark of gigantic proportions - approaching a length of around 20 metres (66 ft), larger than any other species, extinct or extant. After scrutiny of its remains, scientists have assigned C. megalodon to the order Lamniformes but its genius is disputed. Scientists suggest that C. megalodon looked like a stockier version of the great white shark in life. Fossil evidence confirms that C. megalodon had a cosmopalitan distribution. Bite marks on fossil bones from C. megalodon indicate that it preyed upon large marine animals. Therefore, they lived in warmer places then other areas.
Yes, sharks can eat narwhals if their paths ever should cross. They're known to go after just about anything that gets their attention. In fact, it may be said that they're known to bite first and ask questions afterwards. For example, they bite humans, decide that they don't like human body parts, and spit them back out.

fist off we are not shark's and shark's so not use internet. and for a matter of fact it's *shark's* because there is more then one shark in the oceans. and yes they do have back bones but Shark skeletons are very different from those of bony fish and land mammals. Sharks and other cartilaginous fish (skate and rays) have skeletons made of cartilage and connective tissue. Cartilage is flexible and durable, yet is about half the normal density of bone. This reduces the skeleton's weight, saving energy.Because sharks do not have rib cages, they can easily be crushed under their own weight on land.
