Going to need a bigger boat
Humans think of themselves as the most important creatures ever to walk the planet. But when it comes to size, humans are mere peanuts next to ballpark-sized animals. Here's a snapshot — you never know what a paleontologist will dig up — of some of the biggest animals that have walked our planet, present and past.
Pictured here is the megalodon, also known as Carcharocles megalodon. This creature was a 52-foot shark with jaws big enough to swallow a rhinoceros. It lived about 25 to 1.5 million years ago. Some believers think it may still lurk in our deepest oceans today, though there is no proof of this. (Text: Katherine Butler)

nice post and also thank you a lot for share
It is a megalodon read Meg by Steven Alton it will haunt you
Ummm...they look like humpbacks to me which are still one of the largwst animals out there today weighing in at a staggering 1.5 to 2 tons!
Uhm.. It's actually not the Humpbacks but the bigger fish in the background trying to eat the humpbacks. :P
I HAVE NO IDEA. BUT I WILL SAY THIS, WE HAD SOME MASSIVE ANIMALS ON THIS EARTH BEFORE WE CAME ALONG. WE STILL HAVE A FEW AND I DO MEAN FEW. I WISH PEOPLE WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THEIR BEAUTY AND NECESSITY TO OUR SURVIVAL. EVEN SHARKS HAVE A CERTAIN BEAUTY WHEN I WATCH THEM SWIMMING IN THE WATER AND THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED MERCILESSLY HAVING THEIR FINS CUT OFF AND THROWN ALIVE BACK INTO THE WATER. SOMETIMES I HATE BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THE HUMAN RACE.
I agree whole-heartedly. The way humans treat some of the most majestic creatures on earth is despicable. There's no reason why we need to continue killing animals that we know may not be on the earth in the next generation. Hunting these animals neeeeeeeds TO STOP.
what kind of whales are these sharks feeding on here?
It looks like an artist rendering of humpbacks being eaten by the prehistoric era type water creature.
