Megalodon Shark at Smithsonian Natural History Museum 3D 180 VR

This VR 180 3D experience brings you face-to-face with the Smithsonian’s life-sized Megalodon shark model, which is currently on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC. This model is 52 feet long and hangs in the Sant Ocean Hall; it is displayed with its mouth open so visitors can see its teeth, which were as large as an adult human’s hand. This ancient shark lived roughly 23 to 3.6 million years ago in nearly every corner of the ocean, and it is the largest shark to have ever lived.

This video also includes footage of a Megalodon’s set of teeth, which is in a separate display in the museum, so you can see how many rows of teeth grew in the giant shark’s mouth. Sharks constantly shed their teeth and replace them with new ones, and a shark can lose and replace thousands of teeth in its lifetime.
