Isn't one of the theories of why the Megalodon went extinct was Orcas (or a relative) pack hunted the young into extinction?


Consensus is that they were likely outcompeted by whales for sure, though mostly by relatives of modern sperm whales. I hadn't heard anything about predation by dolphins/orcas.
