Trivia: Megalodon was a massive, whale-eating shark. What does “megalodon” mean?
Large fish
Huge predator
Big tooth
Massive jaw
The correct answer is Big tooth
So why is this answer correct? : The megalodon was the textbook definition of an apex predator. With 7-inch teeth and a jaw over 6 feet wide, this mega-shark could lunch on any size ocean creature, including whales and giant sea turtles. Because these sharks were mostly all cartilage, they only left behind pieces of vertebrae and very, very large teeth — hence their name.
