They Ruled the Waters

Fossils from megalodons have been discovered along the coastlines of nearly every major landmass in the world, except for Antarctica. Scientists also believe that these sharks liked to stay near subtropical temperate areas, and this is why their remains have been found mostly near the shorelines.

The legend of the megalodon has lived on thanks to films like “The Meg” and episodes of Discovery Channel’s Shark Week. Contrary to urban myths, no roaming megalodon sharks are living in the deepest and darkest depths.
