Otodus sharks surpassed all modern carnivorous fish in size, reaching approximately one and a half times the length of the largest documented great white shark. Despite this considerable size, Otodus was not the dominant apex predator, coexisting with formidable marine predators like Basilosaurus, a predatory whale measuring eighteen meters and resembling an ancient mosasaur. Nevertheless, Otodus demonstrated significant prowess, capable of maintaining its position among the dominant predators of its era.
