Prey scarcity and competition led to extinction of ancient monster shark
Description: It lived millions of years ago and was three times as large as the great white shark: the megalodon. So far its extinction has been explained with the onset of an ice age. However, researchers have now come to the conclusion that responsibility for the decline of the monster shark lays not with the climate, but with other species. [Source: University of Zurich]
