Megalodon: Not a Giant Great White, but a Sleek, Energy-Efficient Predator
A new study suggests the extinct Megalodon shark, known from films like "Meg," was not a larger Great White shark but a sleeker, 24-meter-long creature resembling a Lemon shark, weighing approximately 94 tons, and built for energy-efficient travel, as determined by comparing its fossilized vertebra ...
