Giant Shark: Megalodon, Prehistoric Super Predator

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Laurie Caple. While not the largest ocean creature of all time, the megalodon is considered the largest ocean predator. Because this giant shark has been extinct for over two million years and left limited fossil material, Arnold uses the few known facts, plus scientific speculation, to describe the animal's anatomy, method of feeding, and breeding habits. The watercolor illustrations complement the clearly written text.
