Prehistoric Predators is a 2007 National Geographic Channel program based on different predators that lived in the Cenozoic era, including Smilodon and C. megalodon.The series investigated how such beasts hunted and fought other creatures, and what drove them to extinction.
Marine mammals likely constituted a big part of megalodon's menu, so with it gone, they were free to thrive. Observations indicate that in the years since the mega-shark's extinction, baleen ...
