Does Megalodon still exist?

[Kipling]

As those of you who are interested in cryptozoology or watch rubbish films will know, Megalodon was the biggest shark species ever.





Until recently it was thought to be long extinct. However, an unfossilised tooth only 10-15,000 years old means it could have survived until recently. Some people think it still exists.

3. I'm still holding out hope for some surviving Hallucigenia

somewhere deep, deep on the benthic plain...

2. My daughter wants to be a marine biologist and she is fascinated

with the Megalodon and she's convinced that they are still out there, she was also convinced the giant squid would be found and photographed so i believe her.

4. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me

It's only been, what, a month or two since we've photographed a giant squid? We're so excited about exploring space, yet we still have not fully explored our own planet.

5. It would be incredible and depressing at the same time.

Incredible to know such a creature STILL exists. The ultimate predator, top of the food chain.

Depressing to know that because of our impact on this planet, pollution, overfishing, that WE will then be the demise of this magnificent creature.
