Seen some info on these giant sharks today on the tube and wondered what you guys thought about it.

As big as a bus! 60 Tons! 60ft LONG!

Great Whites teeth with a tooth of a Megalodon.

Learned about these giants in my Marine bio class junior year in high school (last year). Some scientists say they are extinct while some are discovering evidence of them living deep within the ocean, Mariana Trench. I personally beleive that they could be still in the waters just because of recent gatherings of their teeth and bone structure.

I have been fascinated by the Megladon since high school. What sticks out most vivdly in my mind is the fact that it was known to be the lenght of a city bus. That's an aweful lot of teeth.

one of the shows i saw (ill keep an eye out for it again) estimated its charge to be strong enough to capsize ocean liners.
