MEGALODON By Riley and Mason An extract Introduction Megalodon meaning big tooth had six maybe more magger enemies but they could never destroy this beast of the sharks. But if these enemies were in large groups they could have maybe a 10% chance probably less to defeat this massive shark. The Megalodon as we know if it was alive today we all would be probably dead but we could have a chance if we stayed away from water but as the fact remains we all be dead.
