I hate this kind of statement so much. Megalodon would be hunting in warm shallow water areas close to the coast. And they are defiantly not 'hidden somewhere in the deep'.
If Megalodon existed, whales could not have grown as large as they did.
- avar 7y agoThey were already living in offshore areas: > "adult megalodon were not abundant in shallow water environments, and mostly inhabited offshore areas.[1]" They're also thought to have died out 3.6 million years ago. There's no suggestion that a descendant is still alive, but that's plenty of time for such a lineage to evolve to specialize in deepwater environments. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalodon#Paleobiology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalodon#Paleobiology
