Why the Megalodon is gone for good.
Odotus megalodon was a massive, ancient shark, with the largest specimens found to be just under 60 feet in length at about 17.9 meters. To put that into perspective, the largest (reliably measured) Great White Shark ever caught was just around 6.0 meters in length, or about 19.7 feet. The sheer size of this ancient creature is enough to simply propose (much to the dismay of many shark-lovers such as myself), that if this creature were alive today, we would have simply found it already. But, I digress, let’s jump into the details to really explain why the ancient Megalodon cannot exist in the oceans today.
