A minimal text and full-color paintings introduce the prehistoric megalodon, a fifty-foot shark large enough to eat a whale. Identified only by the fossilized teeth it left behind, the shark is brought to life with an actual-sized illustration of one of those teeth as well as with pictures comparing the size of the creature to a great white shark and a human being. An illustrated time line is included.
