Modern Megalodon Attacks?


In the history of our planet there are few predators that ever existed that were as terrifying and powerful as Carcharodon megalodon, also simply called the Megalodon. One can only imagine what a horrific, awe inspiring thing the sight of a 60-foot-long shark lurching from the depths would have been. But does it still exist?

From Mysterious Universe:

In the history of our planet there are few predators that ever existed that were as terrifying and powerful as Carcharodon megalodon, also simply called the Megalodon. An enormous shark measuring up to 18meters long (60 feet) and believed to have possessed the strongest bite of any predator that ever lived, enough to crush an automobile, the Megalodon was one of the most fearsome creatures our planet has ever seen, terrorizing the seas during the Cenozoic Era, approximately 23 to 2.6 million years ago. It was a potent killing machine larger than a bus, made up of muscle, mouth, and jagged teeth up to 8 inches long, with which it used to tear through pretty much anything it could catch. Indeed, one can only imagine what a horrific, awe inspiring thing the sight of a 60-foot-long shark lurching from the depths would have been.


Or do we have to imagine? It is perhaps no surprise that with such a formidable mega predator that there are some accounts that not only does the Megalodon still exist, but that it is still very much willing to attack with as much ferocity as ever. Among the numerous reports of alleged modern Megalodon sightings, by far the most dramatic and intriguing are those of these ancient monsters attacking other sea life or indeed human beings. These reports capture the imagination with their peek into the possibility that one of the mightiest terrors the ocean has ever known may still be quite alive and well, as well as hungry.
