Before the mighty Megalodon ruled the seas, there was Otodus obliquus, one of the earliest known giant sharks. This impressive predator lived during the Paleocene and Eocene epochs, roughly 60 to 45 million years ago.
 
It thrived in warm, shallow oceans that stretched across what is now Morocco, Europe and parts of North America. Otodus obliquus swam in a world still recovering from the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs, taking advantage of new prey like early whales and large bony fish.
 
These sharks survived for about 15 million years, dominating ancient seas as apex predators long before Megalodon evolved.
