I actually fact checked this and it's true.

Yeah, thankfully Megalodon isn't cruising around anymore. Though that might have delayed European expansion until they had metal clad vessels....

That sounds like a fun story, like a Pride and Prejudice and Zombies but instead it's Master and Commander and Megalodon.

Can we even know for sure that Carcharocles Megalodon is in fact excinct?

You can't prove the non existence, but you can be very sure about some things. Megalodon lived near the surface, because it liked warm water(AFAIK), so it's likely that if it wouldn't be extinct there's a high chance that we would notice it, since Megalodon was kinda big.

Yeah okay, seems plausible then. It's more fun to believe otherwise though, not gonna lie. After all, there's still so much we don't know about our oceans.
