Megalodon. Illustration and photo-reconstruction of the ancient gigantic shark Megalodon pursuing a group of sperm whales. The Megalodon (big tooth) is a large ancient shark that appeared about 28 million years ago. This predator, up to 18 meters in length, became a king of the oceans in the middle Miocene era - about 15.9 million years ago. Its massive jaws with 10-centimeter teeth could overpower the huge whales that it hunted. It is thought that C. Megalodon became extinct at the end of the Pliocene era about 2.6 million years ago. | |
