Is it still alive?
There are 2 main reasons how scientists think the Megalodon is extinct:
Yes
No
1. Migrated to deeper waters when the temperature dropped and ran out of food sources
2. Migrated to deeper waters to avoid the temperature change but died because of it anyway
Another theory is that their food supply (large whales) became extinct
Scientists believe that, although the oceans are vast,deep, and undiscovered, the Megalodon would've been spotted by now
Statistics show that 80% of the ocean is undiscovered
Many people believe that the Megalodon is still alive, just undetected in deeper waters
Multiple Megalodon sightings have been reported over the years
Although there are many theories, the true reason for the sharks' extinction has not been uncovered
Some people believe that it evolved into a smaller shark that lives deep in the ocean
