Jessica Hodge+FollowMegalodon Was a Snack MonsterTurns out, the megalodon wasn’t just a whale-chomping machine—it basically ate anything big enough to fit in its jaws! New research on its teeth shows this giant shark was an opportunistic eater, not a picky predator. Its menu included everything from big fish to marine mammals, depending on what was around. Basically, if you were swimming nearby and looked tasty, you were on the menu. Wild to think even the ocean’s top boss had to adapt or die! #Megalodon #SharkFacts #PrehistoricLife #Science351Share
martinezlaura+FollowFlorida divers uncover megalodon jawA group of Florida divers just pulled off the kind of find most fossil hunters only dream about—a massive, intact jaw from a prehistoric megalodon shark! Discovered off Venice Beach, this jaw section, complete with 6-inch teeth, belonged to a shark that could have been 40 feet long. While shark teeth are common here, finding a jaw with teeth still in place is incredibly rare and gives scientists new clues about how these ancient giants lived and hunted. Imagine swimming where these monsters once ruled! Would you want to see this jaw up close at the museum? #Science #Florida #Megalodon20Share
James Brady+FollowMegalodon tooth found off NC coast!A local diver just pulled a nearly 6-inch Megalodon tooth from the ocean floor, 35 miles off Wilmington! Imagine finding a piece of prehistoric history that’s millions of years old, right in our backyard. Christian Corbitt spent two days and nights anchored offshore, making deep, risky dives with special gear to bring up 33 fossil shark teeth—including the legendary Megalodon. He even found ancient whale bones and other mysterious relics. It’s wild to think what’s still hidden beneath those waves. Would you ever go on a fossil dive like this? #Science #NorthCarolina #Megalodon10Share
