How large were megalodon babies? A study published in 2010 examined megalodon fossils from a site in Panama that is thought to have been a nursery area (a place where the young were born and grew up), since it had megalodon fossils of all ages. read more

Sharks today do both, depending on the species. In that study I linked above, the researchers don’t say one way or the other, which probably means we don’t know. I don’t know of any fossil evidence of gravid (pregnant) megalodon, or megalodon eggs. read more

The Megalodon had babies. It didn't lay eggs, it gave birth to it's young like it was a mammal. A Megalodon pup was 7-10 feet long and weighed up to 500 ponds! That's like the size of a great white shark! The pup was able to hunt after birth, so it can take care of it self after it is born. read more
