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!

A fact that the Megalodon(a dinosaur shark) still exist is that we only explored 5% of the ocean, so there is a chance that it stills exist. We have proof from a world war 2 photo taken by the Germans, shows in the background, a sharks dorsal fin and tail fin. Measuring 62ft and the fin was 6ft above sea level.So half the shark is 62ft imagine how big the whole shark will be.

Megalodon(a dinosaur shark that has been known to be extinct for many years) has a chance of still living.In WWII the Germans were traveling over the seas of Cape Town and saw two fins that were opposite from each other and between the length was a gap above 60 feet long, no sea creature can be that big, the only one close was the known to be extinct called Megalodon. It only points to one creature "Megalodon".With the weather getting better and the population increasing Megalodon will more likely to be alive.

Collin Drake was an actor pretending to be a marine biologist his real name is Darron Meyer. In this picture it show that at the end if the documentary it says it was fake and dramatized. Also in the beginning they show people's death when they are not allowed to. The Discovery channel has also made us believe them that the megalodon is real. They also made us believe the water is no longer safe at Cape Town and other place which inhabit whales. They also made the scene where they show you that it is fake go by in seconds

The megalodon (monster shark) might still be alive and global warming suggested that the humpback whale are migrating back to the primary habitat of the monster shark. In South Africa a shark spotter claimed a shark with 6m long Finn eating a whale.In Hawaii,a kid and his father were fishing and found a whale that's tail was bitten in one bite and no sea creature that can do such damage but a megalodon can do that and megalodon living in our ocean.

We have to catch this beast if its real so it cant kill anymore people/animals

and they thought this beast was dead 2000 years ago when the dinosaurs where all dead and the evedance is when megalodon snaped the boat in half and when there was big shapes on the montor and when 5 or 4 contry complined about it it was like 100 Feet long and they eat the population of blue whales and the can bite their tale of in one bite and megalodon could still be alive

Some facts to prove that the Megalodon exists is the whales tail was eaten of by a sea creature no sea creature can do that. Shark is not that big a enough a whales teeth are not strong enough, so that would mean it is a Megalodon .Second example is a that the shark spotter took a picture of the shark the shark was longer than a normal shark and also that means that the Megalodon exists no other sea creature is as long as the picture.

There is a chance that Megalodon (a dinosaur shark) is still lurking in the waters. I think of this because, in World War II, a photo of a shark beside a Nazi submarine. I know that this is Megalodon because, in the photo, the distance between the shark's dorsal fin and tail fin was about a length of half the submarine! This is a big reason why Megalodon still might be real.

Colin Drake trustworthy and believable because he acts like he is a shark expert. Colin Drakes real name is Darron Meyer. Darron Meyer in the documentary acts like he knows so much about different types of sharks. I got tricked that Colin Drakes was real.

The sea creature named Megalodon could still be living because in Mexico a humpback whale was bitten in half and the humpback whale's predator is Megalodon and only Megalodon could bite a half of the whale. The Megalodon is real because in world war 1 the notzie's spotted a giant shark bigger then their submarine. The middle fin was big as the submarine. Also 6 fishermen died because of this shark I know that because only a huge shark could do that and megalodin is big enough to do it. The colecanth was suppose to be extinct but the scientists found it in the 1900s and the megamouth shark was suppose to be extinct but a fishermen found it. If these sea creatures are not extinct why can't the Megalodon be real?

The Megalodon is the biggest dinosaur shark that can bit a whale in half. This existed 17 million years ago.There is a rumour saying it's still alive and traveling for a bunch of animals. A Megalodon is 20 meters and 60 feet, it could even cut there a ship. Those are some facts about Megalodon.

It is important to capture the Megalodon because in the beginning of the film the Megalodon thought a boat with people inside was a whale,and cut it in half with his jaws. Therefore it will be dangerous to go in the water. They won't be able to get water and catch fish. If they do try they might get eaten by the Megalodon.

Meaglodon is a big shark that is maybe romming around the seas but there are people that claim that the Megalodon is not real now there is a lot of prove that Megalodon . now a Megladon is at lest 40 feet minimum but a adult is 59 feet that is very big but the thing that is strange they never come when you serve them chum or any other thing that a megalodon likes to eat same thing like summarine.

Megalodon is one of the dangerous sea animals . There was a movie that we saw that had magalodon tear a boat up. It was 60 feet,they think. They tryed a lot but they couldn't find it. But the question is there are a number of sea animals that people thought extinct, but then they were found later! We've only explored 5% of the ocean, and it's no wonder we might be able to find animals that we thought were gone. So that means megalodon still might be alive .

Megalodon can still be alive, here are some facts that he can be alive, when there was a whale bitten in half in one bite there was no way an other creature that we know of can do that. You might think that why cant a normal shark do that but the whale was bitten in half in one bite.

Megalodon a monster sark may still be alive from 2 million years ago. That pretetor was the only shark that eats humpback whales. He was the only shark that was long as two busses. Their was one proof of the Megalodon is still alive. I saw a picture of a whale bite in half
