#Megalodon’s body shape was closer to a lemon #shark
Shimada et al concluded, because the trunk section of Belgian specimen measured 11m, the head and tail were probably about 1.m and 3.6m long, respectively, with a total body length of 16.4m (54ft) for this particularly specimen. That means the Danish megalodon specimens could have been as long as 24.3m (80ft). As for body shape, taking new length estimates into account, #lemonshark appears to be closest modern analogue.
