ITS enormous bulk could mean it is mistaken for a prehistoric megalodon, but this is possibly the world's biggest ever great white shark caught on camera. The more than 20 feet (nearly 7m) long sea beast was filmed by cage divers in Mexico. The sheer scale of the monster fish is jaw dropping when seen next to the divers.
From the Middle Miocene Period 15.9 million years ago to the Late Pliocene Period 2.6 million years ago, the ancient seas were terrorized by this beast. It is estimated that Megalodon could have easily reached 60 feet in length and weighed over 52 tons. Some researchers have stated lengths could have attained up to 80 feet! Fossil teeth have been found that exceed 7 inches in length.
