Customer Reviews

This is an excellent book

Well I love this book, why because it's all true.Megalodon was a super huge top predator, of it's time.Megalodon was an excellent predator, with 6 foot long jaws.Megalodon bite strength was 60 tons of pressure per square inch, thats enough to crush a truck.Well anyways this book tells you how big this shark was, and it's super capabilities.Well this is a good book I think the whole world should get it!!!!!

Best book ever!

This is an excellent book for anyone who loves sharks, especially Megalodon.That person who said that Liopleuridon could snack on him please, Megalodon would have put up the best fight.And when he said that liopleuridons jaws were 13 feet long well their not, their only 10 feet long.Well anyways this is an excellent book, and once you read it you will find out who was the top predator!!!

Great shark book

This is a great book for anyone who likes sharks. I did not know half the things in this book. I would rate this book 9 out of 10. There is not only info on Megalodon but on all sharks. This book tells you how shark's digestive system works, and that sharks lived before the dinosaurs

Makes the Great White Shark Seem Puny

The authors have written an excellent description of Megalodon, the giant shark of about 30 million years ago whom some think may still exist. Describing the species in some detail, especially its skeleton and tooth structure, the narrative truly describes an eating machine, invincible to all in the sea except another Megalodon. They authors are wrong on one point however, the Megalodon is not the largest sea predator ever. That honor belongs to Liepleurodon, a late Jurassic Plesiosaur that had thirteen foot jaws and weighed up to 150 tons. It could have snacked upon Megalodon. In fact, it did hunt sharks.
