The taxonomic assignment of Megalodon has been debated for nearly a century, and is still under dispute. The two major interpretations are Carcharodon megalodon (under family Lamnidae) or Carcharocles megalodon (under the family Otodontidae). Consequently, the scientific name of this species is commonly abbreviated C. megalodonin the literature.
C. megalodon is regarded as one of the largest and most powerful predators in vertebrate history, and likely had a profound impact on the structure of marine communities. Fossil remains suggest that this giant shark reached a maximum length of 18 metres (59 ft), and also affirm that it had a cosmopolitan distribution. Scientists suggest that C. megalodon looked like a stockier version of the great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias.

It is reported to still be alive today. Is it true that the amazing creature is still alive today? Watch for yourself.
In my opinion, megaladon is not alive today. It is reported to be extinct 15.9 million years ago. The fossils are found and scanned. And most of the sightings could be a whale shark or basking shark. It COULD still be alive today. Who knows?
