The Megalodon was a prehistoric 60-foot shark that weighed over 100,000 pounds, dwarfing today's great white shark and was even bigger than a semi truck. Was this the biggest sea creature of all time? #ThrowbackThursday | National Geographic TV

🦈 Megalodon, a prehistoric shark, was a maritime giant that ruled the oceans during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs. With an estimated length of up to 82 feet (25 meters) or more, it stands as one of the largest predators to ever exist. Inhabiting seas worldwide from around 23 to 3.6 million years ago, Megalodon’s reign coincided with diverse marine life, showcasing its dominance in ancient aquatic ecosystems. 🌊 Video by @julian_johnson1234 Sounds by @thegahbe #Megalodon #AncientShark #paleont
