Third of the animals went extinct, including the main prey of the megalodon. An expert on ancient sharks told National Geographic that he is not convinced that just one species can cause such a decline. This fact alone is enough for most researchers to conclude that Megalodon is extinct. but even if the mariana trench isnt its true habitat couldnt it have adapted to fight extinction ?
