The megalodon had a stomach volume of almost 10,000 litres, meaning it would have been capable of eating prey up to 26 feet (8 m) long. While it would have been able to chomp up a modern Orca, this means it could not swallow a T. rex whole like in 'Meg 2: The Trench'.
8. Megalodon and T-Rex lived during the same time period. FICTION T-Rex lived around 65 million years ago. Megalodon live about 17-2 million years ago.
Did Megalodon eat dinosaurs or people? Fortunately, the Megalodon went extinct recently enough that we have excellent fossil remains to show us exactly what it ate - and its prey should not surprise you: It ate mostly large marine mammals such as whales, seals, dolphins and dugongs, and large fish and turtles.
The shark was a creature of the open sea; the dinosaur comfortable only on terra firma (though it doubtless could swim). The fight can only end in two ways—the tyrannosaur bit in half by the shark's mighty jaws, or an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet for the Tyrannosaurus and dozens of its neighbors.
Emma explains, 'With its large serrated teeth megalodon would have eaten meat - most likely whales and large fish, and probably other sharks. If you are that big you need to eat a lot of food, so large prey is required.' This would have included animals as small as dolphins and as large as humpback whales.
The world's biggest shark Megalodon might have been killed off by the Great White, scientists have revealed. Megalodon faced competition for food from its smaller and nimbler rival, the researchers found. The prehistoric shark lived between 3.6 million and 23 million years ago and were known for their enormous teeth.
In Jurassic Park 3, the Spinosaurus easily defeated the T-rex by clenching its neck tightly between its jaws.
The spinosaurus, a dinosaur heavier, bigger and stronger than the T Rex. When compared to the Tyrannosaurus species, the Spinosaurus stood a few meters taller and weighed considerably more.
Ibrahim's recent discoveries and skeletal reconstruction show that the Spinosaurus is the largest carnivorous dinosaur we know of. It is both longer and heavier than the Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Megalodons are extinct. They died out about 3.5 million years ago. And scientists know this because, once again, they looked at the teeth.
At a length of more than 50 feet (15 metres) and a mass of nearly 50 tons (tonnes), Megalodon was both larger and heavier than Tyrannosaurus rex.
Past megalodon research suggests these giant marine predators, which first appeared around 16 million years ago, could chomp with more than three times the force of T. rex, based on the new figures.
They were much larger than Tyrannosaurus rex. Megalodons weighed up to 100 tons, while T-rex weighed a puny 9 tons.
Megalodons succumbed to global cooling due to the shrinking of their habitat, the vanishing of their favorite prey, and competition from other predators 3.5 million years ago.
As long as a school bus and as heavy as an elephant, the Spinosaurus was the largest predatory (animal-eating) dinosaur to have existed — even bigger than Tyrannosaurus rex.
T. rex may be the undisputed king of the dinosaurs, but how did evolution produce such a marvellous creature, the biggest predator ever to live on land? It's been a mystery for a long time, but a new species of tyrannosaur from Uzbekistan – a smaller and earlier cousin of T. rex – provides some valuable clues.
When they weren't chasing down prey or scavenging for food, new evidence suggests that Tyrannosaurus Rex went for lengthy dips. Researchers believe the tiny- armed carnivores were surprisingly adept swimmers!
What is a Tyrannosaurus rex weakness? Although Tyrannosaurus rex is known for its sharp claws and teeth, this dinosaur also had a few weaknesses. One of them is the presence of extremely short arms, which were too short to be used for eating or grasping items.
Nigersaurus had a delicate skull and an extremely wide mouth lined with teeth especially adapted for browsing plants close to the ground. This bizarre, long-necked dinosaur is characterized by its unusually broad, straight-edged muzzle tipped with more than 500 replaceable teeth.
While Deep Blue may be one of the largest fish in the ocean, these creatures can still be elusive and NOAA estimates a great white shark lifespan to be around 30-70 years so there's every chance Deep Blue is still alive and well in the ocean to this day.
The great white shark has killed the most humans resulting in 52 known fatalities, though roughly 300 unprovoked attacks are recorded from the great white.
Human Encounters. Because of these characteristics, many experts consider bull sharks to be the most dangerous sharks in the world. Historically, they are joined by their more famous cousins, great whites and tiger sharks, as the three species most likely to attack humans.
