The Biggest and Meanest Of All Monsters

Imagine yourself as a diver in a safety cage on the lookout for Great White Sharks. You see what you were hoping for in a distance, a torpedo shaped body with crescent tail fins and black eyes. It swims towards your cage, you ready your camera, hoping to snap a shot of the Jaws star. It's at a distance where it should be right in front of you but it isn't. As the tail propels forward, you notice it is larger than the maximum sized Great White. You get your true look at the immense beast. It's tooth is broader than your arm, it's jaws can easily swallow your "safety" cage. This is Jaws's grandpa. Megalodon... A shark over 75 feet long, about 4 times the size of a Great White...

This picture defines the true size of Megalodon. A true monster... While for a Great White, a human is a full meal, a Megalodon will regard a human as a popcorn.

Pro-scientists have also stated that in waters shallow enough for T-Rex could stride on, deep enough for Megalodon to swim in, this is the result....

That's right, a Megalodon's mass and size exceeds that of T-Rex... Armed with strong jaws and teeth which beats that of T-Rex and with it's speed, T-Rex could fall prey to this shark...

Megalodon started evolving at the time of the Dinosaurs end and preyed on Pleisosaurs(the Loch-Ness is alleged to be a Pleisosaur) and even Mosasaurus, a marine reptile... It's regular meal includes large whales... With an immense size and fearsome instincts, Megalodon ultimately took control of the oceans after surviving the end of the dinosaurs...

Megalodon continued to rule the oceans for the next 4 dozen million years... At the dawn of Homo Sapiens era at 100,000 years ago, Megalodon became extinct due to many of the whales migrating to icy waters during the ice age... With lack of food, Megalodon could not feed on other animals to satisfy it's hunger and starved to death... The ice bonded the oceans together and caused the shallow waters, nursery for young Megalodons to dry up...

Well, it could be extinct, maybe not... 95% of our oceans are unexplored and claims of jellyfishes capable of sinking boats are reported, mermaids are claimed to be discovered etc etc... In 1881, fishermen return without crayfish traps and told tales where the water boils and a huge fin slices through the oceans surface and dragged away their crayfish traps... Why would they waste their crayfish traps over a lie??? Fishermen aren't rich and crayfish traps are expensive... With the Japanese submarines having recorded a footage of a giant shark, presumably Megalodon... It seems clear to me...

The beast is out there........
