i know, but this look caught me by surprised.  he looks like an absolute unit...overweight for its size.

What is the source of that photo. I think, that it´s photoshopped by someone, that doesn´t look at all natural. But with photoshop something like that photo can be made.

What comes to megalodon and orcas, it´s good to remember, that orcas have killed whales over 20 meters long. So has megalodon been 15 or 18 meters long, it´s still not out of range of prey, which orcas can injure and kill. Of course it had big mouth and sharp teeth, but when attacked by another predator able to outmaneuver bigger one in movement, situation is very difficult to bigger one. Especially when knowing how intelligent mammals orcas are.

Since there is so little information, I don´t like to speculate too much, just pointing out, that size, no matter if 15 or 18 meters isn´t enough alone to make some marine animal immune towards attacks of orcas. At least if we are talking orcas in same sizes as they are today. Reply
