Megalodon would win a fight against Titanoboa. The monster snake is a one-trick pony, and that trick isn't any good against a massive shark. Even if it managed to wrap about the shark, it's much too small to kill it. Megalodon was about 9 feet across and weighed 100,000lbs.
The Titanoboa lived in the Palaeogene Period and it is called the Titanoboa because of its size and it is short for titanic boa. The huge snake was a carnivore (which means that it would eat meat and kept leaves, stems and crops out of its diet).
A Livyatan would win a fight against a megalodon. The Livyatan has the size and speed advantage, bigger teeth, and it has endurance to last through a long fight.
Titanoboa, discovered by Museum scientists, was the largest snake that ever lived. Estimated up to 50 feet long and 3 feet wide, this snake was the top predator in the world's first tropical rainforest.
Paleontologists have not yet found any animal that would have dared to prey on a grown Titanoboa. Indeed, some scientists believe the snake gladly swallowed whole crocodilians along with fish. However, it is possible that baby titanoboas and Titanoboa eggs were preyed upon by the same crocodilians the adults ate.
The super snake's kryptonite was natural climate change. In this case, it was probably shifting tectonics that disrupted ocean currents and lowered temperatures. Warm-blooded animals that could handle the cooler, drier conditions were now kings and queens of the jungle.
Megalodons succumbed to global cooling due to the shrinking of their habitat, the vanishing of their favorite prey, and competition from other predators 3.5 million years ago.
In the battle between a megalodon and an orca pod, the orcas would have the advantage.

Megalodon, an ancient shark, had such a huge appetite that it could have swallowed an 8-metre-long whale in just a few bites, according to the first 3D reconstruction of the predator. This new description upgrades its already gigantic size to at least 16 metres long and a weight of 61.5 tonnes.
Tyrannosaurus lived in North America during the late Cretaceous era around 66 to 68 million years ago. Titanoboas lived during the Paleocene era, after the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs, in what is now Columbia around 60 million years ago. The two were separated by around seven million years.
Analysis of the jaw bones show that Titanoboa could crush its prey with a jaw force of 400 pounds per square inch. (Modern estimates of the bite of an anaconda top this, however, at 900 psi.)
Internet rumors persist that modern-day megalodons exist – that they still swim around in today's oceans. But that's not true. Megalodons are extinct. They died out about 3.5 million years ago.
Megalodon is NOT alive today, it went extinct around 3.5 million years ago. Go to the Megalodon Shark Page to learn the real facts about the largest shark to ever live, including the actual research about it's extinction.
They were much larger than Tyrannosaurus rex. Megalodons weighed up to 100 tons, while T-rex weighed a puny 9 tons.
The whale shark, Rhincodon typus, is the largest fish in the world. It is found in tropical and temperate oceans, in both deep water and coastal areas.
Mature megalodons likely did not have any predators, but newly birthed and juvenile individuals may have been vulnerable to other large predatory sharks, such as great hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna mokarran), whose ranges and nurseries are thought to have overlapped with those of megalodon from the end of the Miocene and ...
Additionally, as it turns out, Titanoboa also had considerably thick skin, described as "damn near bulletproof". As such, whenever the snake was shot at, it barely flinched. Titanoboa also possessed enhanced night vision, allowing it to see in the darkest places.
As the Earth's temperatures rise, there's a possibility the Titanoboa - or something like it - could make a comeback. But scientist Dr Carlos Jaramillo points out that it wouldn't happen quickly: "It takes geological time to develop a new species. It could take a million years - but perhaps they will!"
The snake was discovered on an expedition by a team of international scientists led by Jonathan Bloch, a University of Florida vertebrate paleontologist, and Carlos Jaramillo, a paleobotanist from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama.
