Summary
DescriptionMegalodon scale.svg
English: Size comparison of Carcharodon carcharias (Great White Shark; Average size under 6 m and a largest size 6.4 m, possibly to over 8 m. [1]), Rhincodon typus (Whale shark; Average size between 9 - 10 m, some specimens over 12 m. A largest verified specimen is 12.65 m[2], however, several specimens over 18 m in length have been reported.[3])and Carcharodon megalodon (Average estimated adults size about 16 - 18 m, and a largest size of 20.3 m was extrapolated from ontogenetic trends of the great white shark by Gottfried et al. 1996. [4]) to a human Homo sapiens (180 cm). C. megalodon is only known from teeth and vertebrae, the silhouette shown here is speculative.
