Archeologists in the past include discovered massive tooth some so long as seven long suggesting this megalodon happens to be because huge while 50 toes long. Great whites, by way of comparison, work age 14 for you to twenty foot inside length.

In the revolutionary Discovery Channel specific "Sharkzilla," which premiered Monday as part of Shark Week , your development staff from "Mythbusters" effort that will create this huge jaws of the megalodon in a good make an effort to show the way deadly it might happen to be to the sea pets belonging to the Miocene time above 5 various trillion many years ago. Was megalodon strong ample to wipe out an immense baleen whale? And would certainly that were in a position to get a Tyrannosaurus rex?
