Creating a Megalodon should be relatively easy. Carcharodon megalodon has close relatives that are still alive today. The Great White Shark, Carcharodon carcharias, is still alive and shares most of its characteristics. They are so similar that they are considered sister-species whitin the Carcharodon genus. Although a new hypothesis proposes that they are more distantly related.

I think we could turn the common White Shark into a Megalodon with some genetic modifications. It should be easier than the Chickenosaurus project.

Why would you want a gigantic shark the size of a large whale roaming the seas again?

Many people would pay good money to see a Megalodon. It is the entire idea behind Jurassic Park.
