    Megaladons the giant shark predator that kept whales on the run

    The megalodon was not only large, it was powerful as well. Four times the size of a modern great white, with jaws wide enough to swallow a whole cow.

    Few fish are as steeped in myth and conjecture as the megalodon, a giant shark that lived roughly 28 million to a few million years ago. This fearsome-looking shark is the subject of numerous documentaries, rumored sightings, and even well-funded search expeditions. While the species may be extinct, its legend certainly lives on.
