    The document summarizes key facts about the Megalodon, an extinct giant shark that lived approximately 23 to 2.6 million years ago. It was much larger than modern great white sharks, weighing up to 50 tons and growing to 15-20 meters long. Megalodons inhabited oceans worldwide and preyed on many large animals, from whales to small fish. Scientists believe the closure of the Central American seaway and glaciation led to its extinction by limiting its habitat and food sources.
