Megalodon, the largest predatory fish known to science. It supposedly went extinct around 2.5 million years ago, but some people believe it may still exist. What do you think? Is it really possible this giant shark might still be with us?

Sure. You can see it now at the movie theaters. If "some people believe it" and it's in the movies, it *must* be real. Seriously, the burden of proof for the existence of cryptids is squarely on those who claim their existence. As there is no real evidence of present-day megalodon, the burden of proof has not been met and megalodon is no more real than yeti or Sasquatch. Reply #1. Aug 19 18, 1:38 PM |

Up until the late 1930s, the only evidence we had of the Coelacanth's existence were fossils, so it was assumed this fish was extinct. Then a live one was caught off the coast of South Africa. So if the Coelacanth still exists, who says it isn't possible for other supposedly-extinct animals to still be around? Reply #2. Aug 20 18, 1:04 AM |

The fact that other "Lazarus" species exist does not mean megalodon is one. Again, where is the evidence? We have the evidence on the coelacanth, a much smaller fish. Reply #3. Aug 20 18, 7:07 AM |

It’s much easier for a small fish to go un-noticed in the vast reaches of the ocean than a 50-75 foot shark. Reply #4. Aug 20 18, 11:08 AM |
