Otodus sharks were truly giants, surpassing any carnivorous fish in today’s oceans by being one and a half times larger than the biggest great white shark ever recorded. Yet, their impressive size didn’t automatically crown them apex predators, as they shared the ancient seas with fierce hunters like Basilosaurus—an enormous eighteen-meter predatory whale that resembled a prehistoric mosasaur. Even so, Otodus confidently stood its ground against most rivals, making it a fascinating and formidable creature of its time.
