There is a possibility that it may exist and live in the deepest depths of the ocean, related to the megalodon and we have yet to find it.

I don't want to sound mean but in the future can you please use the search function before posting a thread. If you had you would have come across the previous thread with the same title as your own and avoided unescesary clutter on the board.

I'm sure a mod will be along shortly to close this thread.

if true it was probably a megalodon, on the sea floor its said sharks grow as big as school buses so why not?

I made a thread about this previously, although it got locked because one had already been made haha.

From reading about this those waters are very dangerous because of the Sharks and its risky to go swimming in that area. Very unfortunate this happened.

Or Megalodon still exists.....

Considering that there where dinosaurs the size of chickens, the headline of a dinosaur sized shark does not impress me all that much.

I was dubious about the "minibus" size of this shark as soon as I read this. great whites can hit 20foot long so it was probably one of them as not spotting a bigger shark in "chest height water" would be almost impossible as bits would start poking out above the surface (a 20 foot great white is about 4 or 5 feet "tall" at the dorsal fin)

unlikely as megladon was a shore hugging warm water shark and wasn't built for deep sea life it would die from lack of oxygen for starters after that possibly freeze to death then would likely run out of food.
