A new study proposes that the massive ancient shark was built more slenderly than a great white. But not all paleontologists ...

On the other hand, being endothermic could have also contributed to megalodon's extinction, since constantly regulating body temperature like this would have expended more energy and thus required ...

Megalodon is one of the biggest predators ever to have lived. The creature is believed to have died out around 3.6 million years ago. But it dominated oceans during life, and could've reached ...

Megalodon, the largest shark, was probably slimmer and longer than previously believed, a new study has revealed. Scientists now estimate the massive, extinct sharks might have grown up to 80 feet (24 ...

This reveals a remarkable evolutionary adaptation to ensure the survival of young megalodons. This study also raises questions about the reasons for the megalodon's extinction. Competition with other ...

the study also revealed that today’s great white shark may have been partially responsible for the megalodon’s extinction 5 million years ago.

CHICAGO — A new scientific study provides many new insights into the biology of the prehistoric gigantic shark, Megalodon or megatooth shark, which lived nearly worldwide 15-3.6 million years ago.

A massive "megalodon" of a goldfish caught in Presque Isle, Pennsylvania, is a good reminder of why people shouldn't release their pets into the wild, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says.
