Jaws, I'm sure many of the friends who have watched the 4-part series of the Jaws series are impressed, they are the most ferocious sharks on the earth now, with the title of "man-eating shark" devil, but in prehistoric times, the top predators in the shark family are several times the size of modern jaws, and their ferocity...
Xiaobian has selected seven kinds of sharks from prehistory and modern times, and let's enjoy these cold killers together!
NO.7 Hammerhead shark
Hammerhead shark is one of the sharks that pose a threat to humans, with a maximum individual body length of 6.1 meters and a weight of more than a ton, which is a strange-looking modern ferocious shark. The three most dangerous types of hammerhead sharks are: the sledgehammer shark, the smooth hammerhead shark and the Luxe hammerhead shark.
NO.6 Tiger shark
In addition to the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, tiger sharks are distributed in almost all parts of the world, and tiger sharks are currently the super killers on the earth that are second only to great white sharks in terms of danger. Adult tiger sharks are more than four meters long, the maximum record is more than 6 meters, tiger sharks belong to the kind of people who see what to eat, tires, cans, comers do not refuse, such a personality also led to tiger shark attacks with a high frequency.
NO.5 Great white sharks
The Great White Shark, the top predator in the modern ocean, is the most powerful of the shark family. The adult body of the great white shark is about 6 meters long and weighs more than 2,000 kilograms, and the largest individual found so far is 7.2 meters long. Great white sharks first appeared in the Miocene, they are the last species of man-eating sharks, mainly eating seals and sea lions, but this guy has an abnormal brain, easy to heat up, it will actively attack humans without stimulation, and some surfers and divers are easily attacked by great white sharks.
NO.4 Golden kitchen shark
The golden kitchen shark, also known as the chalky shark, lived in the late Cretaceous Period 82 million years ago and was a secondary predator in the ocean at that time. The Golden Kitchen Shark is 8 meters long, and its speed and endurance coexist, and it definitely belongs to the ranks of top predators now, but in the era of coexistence with the dragon, the Golden Kitchen Shark unfortunately fell into the second rate. Of course, the golden kitchen shark will also prey on small dragons, but with the evolution of time, the size of the dragon has become larger and larger, and the golden kitchen shark has unfortunately been reduced from competitors to food.
NO.3 Chubut quasi-man-eating shark
Chubut is a genus of man-eating sharks that lived 28 million years ago – 5 million years ago. The Chubut human-eating shark is 12.8 meters long and is the second largest predator in the shark family after the megalodon shark, feeding on turtles, seals and even cetaceans. They live in the same ocean as megalodons, but the Chubut man-eating shark became extinct 3 million years ahead of megalodons.
NO.2 Spiny tooth shark
The spiny tooth shark is a very ancient shark species that lived between the Permian and Triassic and became extinct about 250 million years ago. The spiny tooth shark, with a maximum body length of more than 15 meters, was the undisputed top predator of its time, with huge spiny teeth next to its chin that could cut the shell of the turtle and defend against the threat of other predators. Of course, in addition to its terrifying appearance, the combat power of the spiny tooth shark may not exceed that of the Chubut human-eating shark, ranking second in dispute.
NO.1 Megalodon
In the first place, there is no doubt that it is the megalodon. The big tooth is the most bite-force organism on the planet, with a staggering 28 tons, an average body length of about 18 meters, and a weight of more than 40 tons, or even 60 tons. The big tusks lived between 15 million and 2.6 million years ago, feeding mainly on large cetaceans, only the Melville whales of the same era were able to compete with them, with teeth longer than 18 centimeters.
