Otodus sharks were larger than any carnivorous fish currently in the ocean, measuring about one and a half times the size of the largest great white shark ever documented. However, this impressive size did not guarantee that Otodus was the top predator, as it shared its habitat with other large hunters like Basilosaurus, an eighteen-meter predatory whale resembling an ancient mosasaur. Despite this competition, Otodus was capable of defending itself against most other predators.
