Concerning Sharks: Megladon, "It's not our fault." For once

For years now, this beast of a shark has baffled scientists. Just how and when did these awesome predators disappear? Well, they now know the answer to the second question. Around 2.6 million years ago, this 18 meter giant vanished forever- or so researchers believe. 

The subsequent extinction of Megladon was followed by a peak in Baleen whale size; scientists believe this makes sense, as Megladon preyed on whales. 

But just what killed this apex predators? For once this is an acceptable response, "It wasn't my fault."
