Fossilized teeth from the ancient shark species Otodus megalodon reveal intriguing evidence of intra-species combat, suggesting these massive predators engaged in sparring with their jaws. This discovery highlights the unique behaviors of the largest sharks to ever inhabit the oceans.
Living between 23 and 3.6 million years ago, the megalodon reached lengths of up to 24 meters. Recent research conducted by a team at the Calvert Marine Museum in Maryland examined four teeth excavated from fossil sites in North America, providing new insights into the fighting methods of these colossal creatures.
