No, a megalodon is not bigger than a blue whale. The megalodon, an extinct species of shark, is estimated to have reached lengths of up to 60 feet. In contrast, the blue whale, which is the largest animal known to have ever existed, can grow up to 100 feet in length. While the megalodon was indeed a massive predator, it was still smaller than the blue whale. The blue whale’s immense size is due to its need to support its massive body and the energy required for its long migrations and deep dives.
