What killed off the Megalodon?
Fossil evidence suggests that megalodons went extinct before about 2.6 million years ago, during a period of cooling and drying in many parts of the world. These changes may have been related to the closing of the seaways separating North from South America and Eurasia from Africa.

Are there angler fish in the Mariana Trench?
One animal which thrives near hydrothermal vents is the Bythograea thermydron, of "Vent Crab" - their numbers are so vast that scientists are using the crab clusters to locate hydrothermal vents. Crabs and Angler Fish are but few of the many species of the Mariana Trench.
How many animals are there in the Mariana Trench?
