The megalodon, a huge shark that was the scourge of the ancient oceans and is a star in modern movie theaters, is named for its "large tooth" - and for good reason. Its serrated teeth - up to about 7 inches long (18 cm) - could tear through any prey in the deep blue sea.

    Can confirm. Am megalodon. Am warm.

    Does this mean that modern sharks are not related to megalodons? Or at least not directly?

      Not a biologist, but I would think that evolution could take something from cold to warm blooded (or opposite) without way too much time. I think I read somewhere that scientists are debating/speculating whether some dinosaurs were warm blooded as well.
