Could the megalodon still exist today?
The article discusses the persistent rumors surrounding the existence of the megalodon, an enormous shark species that went extinct millions of years ago. Despite speculation fueled by social media, experts like Jack Cooper from Swansea University assert that the megalodon is definitively extinct. Cooper dismisses claims of its potential survival in unexplored ocean regions, citing lack of credible evidence and the significant impact such a large predator would have on today's marine ecosystems. He emphasizes that the megalodon, with its immense size and role as a top predator, would have been easily observed if it still existed.
