Scientists find new clue in what led to megalodon’s demise
- Scientists have discovered that the megalodon shark, one of the largest predators to ever exist, was partially warm-blooded with a body temperature higher than the surrounding seawater.
- The warm-blooded nature of the megalodon may have contributed to its massive size and predatory capabilities, as it required a lot of energy to maintain its large body.
- The megalodon's extinction may have been caused by the cooling of the Earth's temperature, which affected the availability of its prey and the energy intake required to sustain its high metabolism.
