What shark would get the award for strongest bite?
Researchers believe that the prehistoric megalodon shark, also referred to as “megatooth”, probably had a bite strong enough to crush a small automobile.
This prehistoric shark lived about 16 million years ago. It is estimated to have grown over 50 feet (16 meters) long and weigh up to 30 times more than the largest great white shark. The teeth of the "megatooth" shark have been found in North and South America, Europe, Australia, India, Japan, and Africa.
