Jaws

Its huge jaws can break any cage,
The dark deep blue world is its maze.
Drops of blood make it insane;
It can chase you like a train.
It's megalodon - don't get engage.
______________________________

Megalodon is an extinct species of shark.

Most current, scientifically accepted estimates for the Megalodon's maximum size fall into the 60-70 foot range, with a weight of 50-70 tons. Compare that to the largest living shark, the Great White that maxes out at about 21 feet and 3 1/2 tons.
