They were wrong.
It is now known that Megalodon did not have the seas all to himself. Meg's biggest prey item, whales, were also it's biggest rivals. The most terrifying was Brygmophyseter, the Biting Sperm Whale. Attaining a size of nearly 40 ft and weighing 15-20 tons, this whale was not only large, but it also had a set of 44 teeth the same size as Tyrannosaurus'. They also traveled in pods and could use sonar as a weapon. It seems that even Megalodon had to watch his back.

Can you guys think of any other Megalodon rivals?
