The megalodon returns, the giant prehistoric shark


yesammy Shelton went for a Sunday walk with her father on Bawdsey beach in Suffolk, England, looking for shells and fossils, as they usually do. And suddenly, Sammy found a megalodon tooth, the largest shark that ever lived. The boy’s excitement at the 10-centimeter tooth is understandable because even the scientists who have examined it are impressed by its preservation and size.

The megalodon reached 20 meters in length and became extinct about three million years ago, either due to lack of prey due to glaciation or because it failed to adapt its body temperature to the new climatic situation.
