COOL PREDATORS : SHARK

We were all terrified by the idea of sharks lurking somewhere near you under the dark sea. Here are some cool pictures of shark sightings.

This photos is of real occurence in Western Cape Beach and Sightings like this are actually common.


This surfer must be terrified, i would be.


The biggest great white shark ever to be caught in pictures would be this gigantic 6.4 m weighting 3,200 kg caught off Cuba in 1945. However there are reports that a very large 10m white shark was caught off Sandun, China on March 15, 2008.




Now the really cool super-predator would be the ancestors of the great white "Megalodon" which could grow to more than 18 metres (60 ft) long potrayed as looking just like the great white shark in appearance but much bigger, longer and 30 times as heavy as the great white shark. Its jaws can reach to 2 metres and in a research stated that it's bite more powerful than T-Rex's. Pretty cool.


Funny quoted "a great white is about the size of the clasper, or penis, of a male megalodon," said Peter Klimley a shark expert.

Now Megalodon is most certainly extinct but maybe not, this video film a giant shark claimed to be a Megalodon in some Japanese show.
