Subject: Re: Massive Shark Captured From: Rangoon posted Mon, Nov 2 2009, 8:12am  maybe it's a megalodon? It was 4.3 meters long and 700 kilograms in weight. Roughly speaking 14 feet long and 1500 lbs. Hardly a baby megladon but a normal great white.

Subject: Re: Massive Shark Captured From: Dick_Tracy posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 4:48am  if it's in it's adolescence. dang.. it must be meg.. cause i never read or heard of a young white shark bigger as usual. Meg may either be a gigantic white shark or its appearance is like the great white or something similar. Subject: Re: Massive Shark Captured From: DrBaz posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 8:44am  It's clearly a very standard Carcharodon carcharias, it's not even that big. In fact, it's rather standard for a late adolescent shark. These animals spend their younger years growing terrifically fast, and then remain much the same size the rest of their lives. The media loves to embellish, a 4.2m 700kg shark is not all that remarkable in a species that can grow to around 6m and over 2000kg. A magnificent animal, sure, but nothing overly special in terms of its size or age.
