Megalodon meaning “big tooth”, is an extinct species of shark that lived approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago, during the Early Miocene to the Pliocene. Although scientists regard Megalodon as one of the largest and most powerful predators to have ever lived. These limited fossils leave the shark’s exact appearance and maximum size are uncertain.
Megalodon probably had a major impact on the structure of marine communities. The fossil record indicates that it had cosmopolitan distribution. It probably targeted large prey, such as whales, seals and sea turtles.
