Before dinosaurs like the ones in Jurassic Park roamed the Earth, it was a wild place with some serious action going on. Picture a time over 500 million years ago, when life was mostly in the oceans, with weird creatures like trilobites and giant sea scorpions dominating the scene. On land, it was a bit more barren, but eventually, plants started popping up, leading to the rise of insects and amphibians.

The mystery surrounding the extinction of the mighty Megalodon has kept scientists guessing, but recent discoveries shed light on the ancient predator's demise. Climate change is now believed to be a significant factor, as shifts in ocean temperatures impacted the Megalodon's primary food sources. With its reliance on a specific ecological niche, any disruption in the marine ecosystem would have had a cascading effect on this giant shark. The emergence of smaller, more adaptable predators might have also played a role, outcompeting the Megalodon for resources. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
