Rethinking Megalodon: New Study Reveals Surprising Body Shape

Researchers suggest that the megalodon, a gigantic prehistoric shark, may have had a slimmer and more elongated body shape than previously thought, challenging past reconstructions that likened it to a larger great white shark. The study highlights the need for a complete megalodon skeleton to confirm its true size and body form. While some experts argue that the new analysis does not disprove previous hypotheses, the evolving understanding of prehistoric creatures, including the megalodon, underscores the dynamic nature of paleontological research.
