History Hit
About this episode

As part of our week of Sharks on the Ancients, today we tell the story of Megalodon, the largest living marine animal, ever.


Does this colossal prehistoric shark still lurk beneath the waves? Tristan Hughes is joined by leading expert Professor John Long to unveil the jaw-dropping size, power, and ferocity of this ancient super-predator. John recounts his incredible fossil discoveries which chart evolutionary milestones, and reveals the mind-blowing hunting strategies of Megalodon.
