4. The Megalodon Still Exists
The notion that the giant prehistoric shark, Megalodon (Otodus megalodon), continues to inhabit the deep oceans is a prevalent myth. Scientific evidence indicates that Megalodon became extinct approximately 3.6 million years ago, as evidenced by the absence of its teeth in marine sediments younger than this period. The extinction of Megalodon is attributed to several factors, including competition with other apex predators like the great white shark, which may have contributed to its decline (nhm.ac.uk)
