Since 2008, Two-Headed Sharks have been popping up and experts have been trying to figure out the problem. Though two-headed sharks may sound like something from one of those B-list movie productions, they are real. Even more perplexing is the fact that more of these mutant fish are turning up especially over the last few years. Scientists cannot pinpoint exactly what’s casing this anomaly but it would be safe to say that the reasons include the direct results of  overfishing, genetic mutations, or chemical pollution, etc. Recent Two-Headed Shark Discoveries Fishermen off the coast of Florida found a two-headed bull shark fetus. Another fisherman discovered a two-headed blue shark embryo while fishing in the Indian Ocean in 2008. Years later, a 2011 study led by Felipe Galván-Magaña detailed the discovery of two-headed sharks from the blue shark species. The specimen were caught in the Gulf of California and around northwestern Mexico.  So far, blue sharks take ...

Not only was Megalodon the biggest prehistoric shark that ever lived; it was the largest marine predator in the history of the planet, vastly outweighing both the modern Great White Shark and ancient reptiles like Liopleurodon and Kronosaurus. Below you’ll find 10 fascinating facts about Megalodon. Since Megalodon is known by thousands of fossilized teeth but only a few scattered bones, its exact size has been a matter of contentious debate. Over the past century, paleontologists have come up with estimates, based mainly on tooth size and analogy with modern Great White Sharks, ranging from 40 to 100 feet from head to tail, but the consensus today is that adults were 55 to 60 feet long and weighed as much as 50 to 75 tons and some superannuated individuals may have been even bigger. Megalodon had a diet befitting an apex predator, feasting on the prehistoric whales that swam the earth’s oceans during the Pliocene and Miocene epochs, but also chowing down on dol...
