UNILAD - For those of you who aren't aware of the legend of the megalodon - no it's not some made-up word a group of lads came up with in one of their group chats - it's the name of the largest shark ever known.
The shark - known as Megalodon or simply The Meg - was the largest shark to ever have existed on earth, however, given the fact it went extinct around three millions years ago, little is known about the ginormous fish.
While many scientists have used the white shark (Carcharodon carcharisas) as a 'model species to reconstruct the body form' of the megalodon, Phillip Sternes from the University of California Riverside, Patrick Jambura from the University of Vienna and Julia Türtschersimolarly from the University of Vienna headed up a team to provide 'a new hypothesis on the body form of the megalodon'.
