@sirensgrotto well there were artistic liberties in the series but i think he got the size right. the liberties being that sea reptiles evolved to have lungs at least in MEG 4
I read that book in 7th grade (I'm a senior now) and it was awesome. Steve Alten actually came to my school and I got him to autograph the book for me. WHEN THE HELL ARE THEY GONNA MAKE IT INTO A MOVIE!!!!!
wrong again. i just did even more esearch. th emeg could be 70-feet long, not forty. the largest great white caught on earth was over 35 feet long. thats a mere five feet shorter. the largest MEG teeth were over 7 inches long and a runt is considered to be only forty feet. meg is estimated to be as big as a sperm whale and nothing more, or maybe it could be biger. also t-rex wasnt the best. if it tripped or made one mistake, its screwed, but it is still deadly. meg couldnt go land anyway.
Yes, its fiction, so the writer took some artistic license. Also remember, we only have teeth. We have no idea exactly how long they were. We have an estimate compared to other sharks today, that doesn't mean it couldn't be that big. We just can't prove it either way.
Also, I am sure one of these sharks can kill and eat anything it could catch. Sharks generally are opportunistic feeders. Great whites are known to kill and eat whales after all.
Actually I searched on the Megalodon and in real life. Megalodon was over 40 feet long. But since this is fiction it can be whatever size it wants to be.
Now if in water then Megalodon wins, but if on land. T-Rex wins. T-Rex is the king on land and the Megalodon is the King in Water. Lets see if a Megalodon could take on a Woolly Mammoth. Those animals would be too big for them to eat.
