Scientists Finally Know Why Megalodon Went Extinct

The mystery surrounding the extinction of the mighty Megalodon has kept scientists guessing, but recent discoveries shed light on the ancient predator's demise. Climate change is now believed to be a significant factor, as shifts in ocean temperatures impacted the Megalodon's primary food sources. With its reliance on a specific ecological niche, any disruption in the marine ecosystem would have had a cascading effect on this giant shark. The emergence of smaller, more adaptable predators might have also played a role, outcompeting the Megalodon for resources.
