Show Notes
Maryland aims to become the first state to officially designate a state shark, the colossal Otodus megalodon, which could reach up to eighty feet and weigh ninety-four tons. The bill, introduced in January, will be reviewed during a hearing on Tuesday. If approved, the megalodon will join Marylands lineup of state symbols, including its bird, dog, and dinosaur. Fossilized teeth from these giants are commonly found in Calvert Cliffs and other counties, highlighting the sharks historical connection to local waters. The Calvert Marine Museum supports the idea, emphasizing its potential to foster statewide pride and educate about sharks. This move underscores the enduring influence of prehistoric life on our understanding of local ecosystems.
