actual study
quote:



After witnessing students come up with widely variable estimates for megalodon size, Victor Perez reviewed the longstanding calculations.

He eventually helmed a study modeling the extinct shark’s jaw from teeth width, offering new size parameters for the species.

Previously thought to be 50 to 60 feet, some estimates find certain megalodon sharks to be up to 148 feet in length.



damn.

Talk about apex predator if that is accurate.

They just make crap up and go “prove me wrong” at this point. I say he was actually 153 ft.

Last five feet…all dick.

If this ol' baw can get this big today:

Think about how big he could get just 200 or so years ago with fewer people fricking with him and his habitat.

Now, think about how big the biggest shark could get with literally no human to frick with it or its habitat.

148 ft seems a bit much, unless it had small teeth for that kind of length.

That would make it the largest animal in history. 50 feet longer than a blue whale. Not sure if I believe that.
