The megalodon was a terrifying sea shark that had teeth like steak knives – and there was nothing in the ocean that could kill it. It was the biggest shark that ever lived and the epitome of an apex predator.
Scientists recently made some shocking new discoveries about the megalodon. No, they didn't find one living in the Mariana Trench. What they found is that the farther away from the equator the megalodon lived, the larger it grew. The prehistoric shark got bigger the colder the water was. Scientists figured this out by studying fossilized teeth from various latitudes. Each tooth is about the size of a human hand, and serrated like a kitchen knife. What scientists discovered is that the higher the latitude, the bigger the teeth.
