Megalodon: *Insert evil Smurk*

I thought they a modern day shark was large and scary, but not compared to the Megalodon. Megalodon is a gigantic prehistoric shark and is thought to be the largest marine creature in the history of the planet. This unrealistic creature is imagined to have weighed s much as 100 tons and grew up to 60 feet long. If size does scare you, how about the fact that they had thousands of teeth with only a few scattered bones within their body. Each of their teeth was over 10 inches long , which is about the size of a human face. With size comes power, these large animals was the king of the sea during its reign; it fed on large prehistoric whales,dolphins, squids, fish, and even giant turtles. The bite that they had was astronomical, there bite could crush the skull of a prehistoric whale as easy as a grape; it is thought to have the most powerful bite in the history of earth. These interesting facts brings the question comes into play, "how does the king of the sea lose his throne"? There is really no solid evidence on why these great sharks went extinct, besides the typical ice age death. I believe the Megalodon may be lurking in the depths of the earth waiting to make a grand appearance ( no reputable evidence to support this). The ice age is seen as a tragedy that killed off many amazing creatures, but learning about Megalodon actually made the ice age seem to be a good thing. =)
