Picture a Great White Shark, except three times as large, and you get some idea of what Megalodon would have been like. Since they lived in the same time one of these battle might actually have occurred, but at the moment there is no proof that Livy preyed on meg or that meg preyed on Livy. This concludes that the megalodon will 100% dominate the battle. Intellegence however is not enough to overcome dealdy tactics and stealth. this whale hunt alone. The posterior alveolar margin was noted for being very small, with the teeth rising from a thin but pronounced vertical ridge. The fossil was remarkable in that it preserved the outline of the mosasaur's tail fins, revealing that Prognathodon, like Platecarpus and later mosasaurs also had a bilobed tail fluke resembling a downturned shark's tail, the shape of which may have aided the creature in surfacing, as well as attacking prey. Livyatan is known from a single skull found in Peru in 2008.

assuming all conditions were same with o one having the upper hand and both spotted each other at the same time i think the livyatan would win. They’ve gone too far, this is madness. [7], The skull of the type specimen of Prognathodon saturator is nearly complete, only lacking the anterior portion of the premaxilla and the dentaries. meg is not bigger it is 18 meters and leviathan is 18 meters and its teeth would sink in and kill meg. [5], The first comprehensive study of the Prognathodon specimens from Belgium (including the type specimen) was done by Theagarten Lingham-Soliar and Dirk Nolf in 1989[5] and the diagnosis in this study remains the latest published emended diagnosis for the genus. The meg must bite off the fins to win which can only be done in an ambush. The leviathan however has intellect that the megalodon does not posses. A single orca would be capable of killing or at least contending with a fully grown female(females are actually bigger unlike in tooth whales)great white shark. Robust and conical teeth with blunt, serrated carinae and smooth enamel are often seen as typical Prognathodon teeth and are routinely assigned to the genus. If livyatan were to damage them the shark would be doomed. so it really is 50/50.

Oh and to livyatan meg is right they were both 18 metres(60 feet).

It is classified as part of the Mosasaurinae subfamily, alongside genera like Mosasaurus and Clidastes. They said megalodon because it had a stronger bite force and more robust body so If livytan rammed megalodon could endure the hit and I'm a smart biologist man so believe me so megalodon win 51 % of the time livyatan 49% of the time. Don't get me wrong Livyatan is a pretty powerful whale and there's a possibility that Moby Dick is based on this creature(if this is true then I'm pretty sure that megalodon would have had a hard time killing it).The megalodon would have had the advantage though 88% of the time though. The Prognathodon's injuries are believed to be the result of a fight with another mosasaur (likely another Prognathodon). Shark is victorious. They are apex predators of their time . [9] Lindgren et al. The lack of a comprehensive original description of the genus and the species referred to it from Belgium is strangely not unusual for mosasaur specimens discovered in the Craie de Ciply Formation of Belgium. Prognathodon has been recovered from deposits ranging in age from the Campanian to the Maastrichtian in the Middle East, Europe and North America. [2], A new fossil found in 2008 and described in 2013 belonging to a 1.8 m juvenile Prognathodon was found in Jordan's Harrana Site. The squamosal bone is only represented by a few fragments, but could be noted for being laterally compressed and tall, as in other species of Prognathodon. Even though these beasts had gone extinct long before modern humans were even around, there is still something in us that fears the deep abyss of the open ocean, and what may lurk in its depths. I have some more evidence for Livyatan and I wanted to clarify a few things. This helped in providing evidence that mosasaurs were convergent with ichthyosaurs, metriorhynchid thalattosuchians and whales in the evolution of a crescent-shaped tail fluke to aid in locomotion. -- Page Twitter: Megalodon wins this in a very close and brutal match! The megalodon is an ambush predator like the great white shark, and from what we know, the great white shark, if the animal is similar in size or 2/3 its size (and depending on the angle), it will instinctively opt for a first attack aimed at knocking out or fracturing its prey in order to avoid potential unnecessary injury, the second attack will be less frontal and direct. Some humpback whales do not do this so it isn’t instinctual. [15], The view of the relationships of the genus to other mosasaur genera has changed little since 1997, it is routinely recovered as within the Mosasaurinae as well as paraphyletic. Megalodon or Livyatan? Based on the skull that was found, the whole animal is estimated to have been 13.5-17.5 m long. (Mordhau 1/2), AUTOMATISATION DU FARM & ARC ! -- Discord communautaire: but leviathan is smarter. While that is 2 inches less thick than the blubber of a sperm whale, it is still thicker than Megalodons teeth are long. Only Jesus and God of Heaven really knows. The majority of baleen whales in certain areas have endured several bites from orcas, who have 4 inch long teeth. I don,t think the megalodon lose because the megalodon is bigger.P.S. So Livyatan and cachalot aren’t the only cetaceans who wouldn’t die in one bite from the megalodon.
