#6 The Buzzsaw Shark
Helicoprion (hel-uh-KOP-ree-uhn) was a bizarre shark-like fish whose fossils have presented a mystery to researchers. This animal is known for its teeth, which were arranged in an unusual ‘tooth whorl’. Since that shape is reminiscent of a circular saw, the critter is commonly called the Buzzsaw Shark. It’s not exactly known how the animals used this tooth whorl, but most researchers think it was used for feeding. The shark may have whipped its flexible jaw into groups of prey, and then reeled it back to feed on whatever victims were impaled. They existed around 290 million years ago in the early Permian period, and were thought to grow between 30 to 40 feet long (9 to 12 m). Since their fossils have been found from Australia to North America these scary sharks were some well-traveled beasts.
#5 Basking Shark
Larger specimens of this fish can reach 26 feet long and weigh about 12,000 pounds (5 metric tons). But the largest reliably documented Basking Shark was caught in Canadian waters in 1851. That monster had a length of 40 feet (12 m) and weighed 36,000 pounds (16 metric tons)! These animals are known for their huge, gaping mouths which have a bizarre appearance. Did you know their gob can open more than 3 feet (91 cm) as they feed on massive amounts of plankton? They’re known for feeding on the surface where it appears as if they’re basking in the warmer water there. And that’s how they got their common name.
#4 The Ginsu Shark (gin-SOO)
The name ‘Cretoxyrhina’ (krih-TOX-ee-RIE-nah) isn’t as well known as Megalodon, and this animal wasn't as big. But it predated the more famous shark by millions of years. And in its day it was no less of a deadly apex predator. Experts say it would go after larger prey that included mosasaurs, other sharks, and even some dinosaurs. Given an estimated swimming speed of 43 miles per hour (70 km/h) it would have difficult to escape this beast. Measuring up to 26 feet long (8 m), and weighing 7,500 pounds (3,400 kg), it had a mouth full of blade-like teeth that could easily slice and dice through its prey. The sharp teeth earned it a comparison with Ginsu (gin-soo) knives that are said to cut through metal. Thanks to a thick layer of enamel on their teeth, they could crunch through bones and slice through flesh with equal ease. Judging from fossil evidence this ancient shark might have closely resembled the modern great white regarding its build and appearance.
#3 Great White Sharks
About the only way you can avoid these big bad fish is to stay on land. That’s because these legendary predators are found in all of the world’s major oceans. But they’re especially populous in South African waters, fyi. Females grow bigger than males, with larger specimens reliably documented at around 20 feet long (6 m) and weighing 4,200 pounds (1,905 kg) as adults. However, greater sizes have been described. A great white reported in Cuba in 1945 supposedly measured 21 feet (6.4 m) and weighed more than 7,300 pounds (3,324 kg). Like many other such claims, this one didn't measure up and its length was later estimated at 16 feet long (5 m) with a proportionate weight. Most sources agree that the largest shark ever reliably documented was a specimen that weighed around 4,600 pounds (2,087 kg). It was caught and released off the coast of Baja (BAH-ha), Mexico in 2009.
#2 Crusher Shark
This prehistoric beast was a terror in the water around 89 million years ago. Reaching an estimated 30 feet long (9 m), experts think it was more likely a slow-moving bottom-dwelling shark than a quick, agile swimmer. Fossils discovered in Kansas (kans-ZUS) indicate the massive animal had more than 500 huge teeth, all of which were flattened. Its jaws were adapted for eating the giant clams and other bivalves that existed at the time, the majority of which possessed thick, heavy shells. The ancient shark’s jaws and teeth could easily crush through those shells, hence the common name. Today, the Black Musselcracker exhibits a similar behavior as it feeds upon hard shelled invertebrates like crabs. But measuring less than 5 feet long (1.5 m) those critters are not nearly so enormous!
