The exact cause of the extinction of the megalodon (Carcharocles megalodon) is not known for certain, as there are various theories. One prevailing theory is that changes in climate and oceanic conditions led to their demise. It is believed that the megalodon primarily lived in warm, coastal waters, and a cooling of the oceans during the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs may have caused a decline in their preferred habitat and prey species. Another theory suggests that competition for food and predation pressure from other marine mammals may have contributed to their extinction. However, due to the lack of extensive fossil records and knowledge about the species' biology, it remains challenging to determine the exact cause of the megalodon's extinction.
