New Jersey was one of the first states leveled by the COVID-19 outbreak this spring, quickly logging thousands of cases and hundreds of deaths before the flowers were in full bloom.
Despite that devastating introduction to the disease, New Jersey has been slower than many other states at getting doses of the coronavirus vaccine into people’s arms. As of Friday, the state ranked No. 36 out of the 50 states in vaccinations administered per 100,000 people, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Megalodon gave birth to newborns as large as adult humans
The Megalodon babies likely ate unhatched eggs in their mother’s womb to come out on the hefty side.
Perhaps the fiercest shark that ever swam the world’s oceans was
Otodus megalodon, an extinct species of shark that lived from the early Miocene to the end of the Pliocene, from 23 to 2.6 million years ago.
Megalodon was the uncontested marine predator of ancient times, reaching 15 meters (50 feet) in length twice as long as the second-largest shark in history. Not surprisingly, Megalodon’s babies were also on the hefty side. According to a new study, Megalodon newborns were larger than most adult humans.
Measuring up to 50 feet in length, gigantic megalodon sharks were once the most fearsome predators to roam the oceans.
Now, a new study suggests that even their babies were absolutely huge at birth, with most measuring larger than an adult human.
Rather gruesomely, the researchers believe that the shark babies likely grew to this size by feasting on unhatched eggs in the womb.
Adult megalodons, which swam the Earth s oceans roughly 15 to 3.6 million years ago, reached at least 50ft (15m) in length.
According to the study, from the moment of birth, megalodon – formally called Otodus megalodon – was already 6ft 7in (2m) long.
