Otodus

Carcharocles, also known as Otodus or Carcharocles megalodon, is a species of giant shark that lived during the Cenozoic era in the Middle Miocene epoch. It lived at the same time and place as sea-dwelling mammals, which were its favorite prey options. It was a predator in its own right, and one of the largest sharks ever.

This picture features Otodus as being more nurse shark-like and having a closed mouth.
