It's a weird world we live in, anything is possible. -_-

Some fossils, named the “China dragon fossils”, were recently exhibited in the Xinwei Ancient Life Fossils Museum in Anshun, Guizhou. When archeologists first stripped the clay off the fossil, they found the dragon had a pair of horns above its head and the shape of the dragon was very like the legendary animal often described in books and stories.

The dragon fossil was found in Guanling County, Anshun City, in 1996, and has been kept in a good condition. It is measured 7.6 meters long. Its head is 76 centimeters long and the neck is 54 centimeters long. The body is 2.7 meters in length and 68 centimeters in width, and the tail is 3.7 meters long.

The dragon’s head is in a triangle shape. Its mouth is 43 centimeters long. The widest part of the head is 32 centimeters long. The horns project from the widest part of the head, and are symmetrical and 27 centimeters long. They are a little bit curved and tilted, which makes the fossil look very much like the legendary dragon.

The China dragon was a reptile animal living in the ocean in Triassic Period about 200 million years ago. It was an amphibian. It spent most of its time living in water, although sometimes it walked on land. It also laid eggs on land. The animal lived on fish and small reptile animals.

ocean takes up 70% of earth less than 4% of it has been explored,a few things u have to take in consideration if it adapted to its enviornment then for the ecosystem to support it,it would have to go through natural selection where the smaller animal would survive. considering it probably still could live being 100 feet eating fish and shit cause whales are fucking huge and they live on like 1cm krill and plankton

true. maybe the whales in the picture are a delicacy ;) but really. if there are enough krill and plankton to feed a whale then it makes sense that if the megalodon were still alive there should be enough food to feed it regardless of what kind of food it is.
