What is the megladons jaw size?

Megalodon Jaw

The jaws of Megalodon (Otodus megalodon) are estimated to have been up to 1.8 meters (5 ft 11 in) wide, with a bite force of up to 102,800 newtons (23,200 lbf). This makes Megalodon's jaws one of the most powerful known to have ever existed.

Megalodon was an extinct species of shark that lived during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs (approximately 23 to 2.6 million years ago). It was the largest shark and one of the largest fish to have ever lived, with an estimated maximum length of around 18 meters (59 ft).

The most complete Megalodon fossil, known as the "Megalodon Tooth," was discovered in 1923 near Antwerp, Belgium. This fossil consists of a single, well-preserved tooth that is estimated to have come from a shark approximately 16.5 meters (54 ft) in length.

Other evidence of Megalodon's existence includes fossilized vertebrae, coprolites (fossilized feces), and bite marks on the bones of other marine animals. These findings have allowed scientists to reconstruct Megalodon's diet and lifestyle, which included hunting large marine mammals such as whales and seals.
