Megalodon is thought to have appeared about 23 million years ago and thrived in warm oceans filled with marine mammals for millions of years. **History** During the Miocene and Pliocene eras, megalodon reached its height, hunting large prey such as whales, dolphins, and seals in seas across the world. Scientists estimate that megalodon disappeared about 3.6 million years ago, most likely because of cooler ocean waters, less available prey, changing currents, and growing competition from rising predators like great white sharks and orcas. **Ordering** If you have questions about this silver release, BGASC is here to help.
