Megalodon

Megalodon is extinct, but through the talent of 3D artists, Megalodon lives.

Carcharocles megalodon, or megalodon, lived between 3 million to 20 million years ago.

Megalodon was as long as 60 feet, about as long as 4 standard size cars, and longer than 3 adult great white sharks.

This enormous shark needed to eat 2,500 pounds of food every day. That’s like eating the weight of an adult elephant every day, or about 5,263 McDonald's Big Macs, or 68,726 Chicken McNuggets - every single day.

(For reference, this is 500 Chicken McNuggets)

Which shark had a bite force 3 times stronger than..

Tyrannosaurus Rex?

Megalodon!

Today, nice Megalodon teeth are worth hundreds to thousands of dollars, and have been found on every continent, except Antarctica.

Meg teeth are very rare if you don't live in an area where they can be found, and teeth in good condition are even rarer no matter where you are. The biggest Megalodon tooth ever found was 7 inches long.
