Description
Carcharocles MegalodonThe most powerful predator that ever existed, Megalodon is distantly related to the great white, coming from a far older lineage than its still extant cousin. Growing as large as 90 feet long, Megalodon was a hunter of whales ranging from the 10 foot cetothere, to the giant balaenoptera baleen whales that grew as big as it did. Fossils of Megalodon abound worldwide, and its teeth are highly prized. Recent research also reveals this predator was able to bite down with the force of 20 tons, twice as strong as the bite of Tyrannosaurus rex and 1/3rd stronger than that of the sea reptile Predator X: also known as Pliosaurus. It had almost no enemies, save for the giant Squalodon and Brygmophyseter, and was capable of outmatching them in head-on battle. Even juvenile megalodon were capable of attacking large whales, dugongs and seals bigger than themselves, as fossil evidence shows. Why Megalodon went extinct is a mystery, but from what is known, Megalodon died out from climate change, change in the availability of food, and being unable to adapt to cooling seas.

I mean people think predators are male, when female predators are the more deadly and often larger ones.
When I think of a predator I always think female.

right especially cause the males are built to fight with each other and the females are built to hunt and collect food. Β female sharks have to put up with being bitten by male sharks and are larger with thicker skin. Β :3

Yes. But even the predators where females are smaller still show female dominance (look at orcas for example)
