Great Whites not ancestors of Megalodon?

A four million year old great white shark fossil has given researchers insight into this mighty sharks history and who it’s relatives are. Once thought to be a descendant of the giant shark Megalodon, it is now known that great whites are more closely related to mako sharks.

Salsa Shark

I was in bed sick all day, and watched the movie Clerks. I hadn’t watched it in quite a while and forgot about this little gem of a scene.

Smallest Whale Shark found

Recently the largest bull shark to be recorded was found, and now a few weeks later the smallest whale shark has been found. Whale sharks are not only the largest shark, they are the largest fish. They can grow up to 40 ft and 15 tons.

In a small town in the Philippines called Donsol, a whale shark pup measuring only 15 inches was found. There is no concrete evidence as to where whale sharks breed and give birth. Now with this discovery, more information is being gathered about whale sharks breeding habits.

Evidence

A couple years back I was taking a creative writing class, and we had to write a short story for our final. I ended up writing a story about the prehistoric giant shark known as megalodon. It’s written in a diary/journal format from the perspective of Kyle Roberts, a marine life enthusiast who gets an opportunity to work with National Geographic on a story about life in the Arctic.

Here’s a link to the story if you want to read it.

Largest Bull Shark Found in African River

Bull sharks are one of the most fascinating and dangerous sharks. The fact that they can survive in both salt and fresh water makes them a double threat. They have been known to turn up in rivers in the United States. Sightings have been reported in the Mississippi river all the way up to St. Louis. Although more rare, there have been spottings of bull sharks in the Illinois river and Lake Michigan.

Most recently researchers were doing studies on bull sharks in the Breede river in Africa, and ended up discovering the largest bull shark ever documented. This shark measured 6m or 19 ft, and 550 – 600 kg (1212 – 1322 lbs.) The previous record went to a bull shark that was 3.5 m.
