To fill in the gaps, Shimada and his colleagues developed a new method to estimate the body length of the leviathan, using a nearly complete vertebral column from Belgium and another incomplete ...

So there has been considerable debate among paleobiologists about megalodon's size, body shape, and swimming speed, among other characteristics. While some researchers have compared megalodon to a ...
