Ancient Seas #1 Megalodon Photo from Sharkipedia The megalodon was probably the largest predator to have ever lived - we haven't found one bigger yet. It is larger than the whale shark. Their teeth were over twice the size of great white's teeth. Recent discoveries of megalodon nurseries have led scientists to believe they gave birth in shallow waters. Ancient Seas #2 Sarcosuchus Photo from IMDb Its name, Sarcosuchus, means fleshy crocodile. It was twelve feet longer than modern saltwater crocodile. Their home became the Sahara desert. Ancient Seas #3 Plesiosaurus   Photo from ThoughtCo It is postulated that they laid their eggs upon land like the sea turtle. Their teeth were designed to catch prey, not chew. They swallowed their prey whole. Their long necks were supported by 40 vertebrae.

It is a distant relative of the modern living crocodylians, but has no direct living relatives as they are technically a pholidosaur.  Fragments of this gargantuan "croc" were first found between 1946-1956 by French paleontologists. More complete speciemens were not found until the late 20th century. From the fragments, scientists were able to extrapolate the estimated 11-12m size of the Sarcosuchus, which is over twice the size of the largest modern crocodile. The initial fragments were from the skull and p...
