the megalodon

The Megalodon Kingdom-animalia Phylum-chordata Subphylum-vertebrata Class-Chondrichthyes Subclass-Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays) Order-Lamniformes Family-Lamnidae Genus-Carcharodon Species-megalodon Intro. I was in front of the TV watching shark week on the discovery channel when they started to talk about this shark that was three times bigger then a great white shark and ate whales for food. I sat there for an hour intrigued by the thought of one of those living today. So when you gave out the reports …

…of the ocean. The thought of being eaten in one gulp is scary. Also you would have to have a pretty big boat to feel safe in the water. If a megalodon can eat a whale it wouldn’t be to hard for it to capsize a 30ft boat. So I’m quite glad that the megalodon shark isn’t around any more because the ocean wouldn’t be as fun as it is now.
