Megalodon: Monster Shark

 

ALT

On this day (Oct 6) in 1875, the HMS Challenger drew up some of the most famous Megalodon teeth in the world from a sea floor 2.7 miles down.

These teeth formed the basis of a now-discredited theory that Megalodon populated the world’s oceans as recently as 11,000 years ago.

Out of time. Time travel would be a cool way to show megalodons at the height of their reign— and all the other creatures who lived in the ocean of the time, like early whales, seals, and other fish. People might visit the past on purpose to learn more about megalodons, or they might go there accidentally, which would probably be quite distressing, considering they would be the only humans in the genus homo in existence at the time.
