Some facts and data that support the claim that Megalodon (a monster shark from the dinosaur age) may still be alive are that a humpback whale (the traditional food source of Megalodon) washed ashore in Hawaii after being bitten in half by an extremely large predator. There are no known ocean predators big enough to attack and kill a full-sized whale, let alone cutting it in half in a single bite. This points to a predator like Megalodon still being around!
