Megalodon was believed to be the biggest carnivorous fish to ever exist. Reaching up to 67 ft, Meg is believed to eat anything coming towards it. Predator X was believed to be the ‘most fearsome animal to ever live in the ocean’ by many articles. However, the competition between Meg and X is not over, the debates are still going on, and I am still at a position to decide who exactly will win. The website www.wikianswers.com stated that megalodon would win the battle due to its larger size and
larger bite force. However, Meg has a relatively small mouth proportional to its body, while I believe Predator X had a bigger mouth, that it can gobble a swimmer easily. Also, predator X had teeth reaching 30 cm in length, while Meg had teeth reaching only 18 cm. However, it is debated whether Meg or predator X won at competing. Though Meg was quite bigger than X, X is a boney animal while Meg is made or cartilage.
Here is the comparison of meg and X
Meg | X |
Teeth of 18 cm length | Teeth of 30 cm in length |
Estimated length 60 ft | Estimated length 45 ft |
Bite force 182 kN | 150 kN |
Animal made of cartilage | Boney animal |
Weight 103000 kg | Weight 45000 kg |
Smaller mouth | Bigger mouth |
Hunting method: - Biting off a boney part of the prey which is essential for its locomotion and paralyzing it, later eating up the whole animal. | No evidence |
Slower than predator X | Faster than Meg |
Most of the articles state that predator X was the most fearsome animal to live on earth, but we still have Meg, with a larger bite force and size. So anybody who would like to comment can express what you feel about this.
