Like a torpedo it appears out of the deep and hits it's target: a prehistoric whale.
This is the really great white: Megaselachus megalodon, the giant shark we all know of

Yesterday I saw this documentairy on Discovery about some rumours that this monster still existed and now appeared next to our beaches in South Africa and stuff and they went searching for it but it was a hoax I've read. Not a surprise, but still, i'm disappointed :c

But yeah, okay, watching that docu gave me some motivation to draw the megalodon so uh okay... here it is!

Megalodon is the createst shark ever. It would use our great white as a handkerchief: it was big, and I don't mean "10 meter long big" but an enormous "20 metres long awesome seamonster big".

No really, this fishy could grow up to 20 metres (or maybe a few metres longer or shorter, don't remember the exact length), it's jaws could open up to more than 2 metres high so an adult person could just stand in it's mouth! It's teeth were about 30 cm long while that of our great whites are something like 5 cm or so.

It fed on whales, which were about his own size (like our modern humpbacks), the formidable jaws were probably not used to kill but to cause devastating damage to the victim so it would bleed to death, like our modern great white sharks do when hunting seals.

First was tought that megalodon went extinct 1,5 million years ago, but some fossilised teeth were found at a depth of 4000 metres in the Pacific Ocean, these teeth are believed to be 11 000 years old so maybe our megalodon survived longer than expected?

Thanks for watching and reading, hope you liked it
