Meg vs. Great White: A Tale of Two Sharks

The Megalodon, one of the largest and most fearsome sharks to ever swim Earth’s oceans, often gets compared to the modern Great White Shark. But just how big was the Megalodon? While estimates vary, it’s generally believed to have been around 50 to 60 feet long, making it three times the size of the largest Great Whites today! Unlike the lean, sleek body of the Great White, Meg had a stockier build and jaws powerful enough to crush bones.

While we know Great Whites are fearsome hunters, Megalodons took things to a whole new level. Their diet likely included large marine mammals, like prehistoric whales and dolphins, and they had the power to take down animals as big as buses. In comparison, Great Whites hunt smaller marine life, sticking to fish, sea lions, and seals. These two sharks ruled different eras, with Meg swimming in oceans over 2 million years ago, but their differences offer fascinating insights into ocean life past and present.

How did these giants vanish? Scientists believe a combination of climate change and loss of prey led to the extinction of the Megalodon, making way for smaller, adaptable sharks like the Great White. In Jurassic Terrors, I take readers into this ancient world, bringing the terrifying size and scale of the Megalodon to life in a thrilling storyline that pushes the limits of imagination and fact.
