Otodus obliquus

 Et donc pour inaugurer le premier dessin de requin non-cartoonesque que je met sur deviantART, je vous propose de rencontrer Otodus obliquus, un Requin-taupe géant qui vivait au Paléocène et a l'Éocène, entre environ 60 et 45 milions d'années.

PS: Cette fois, j'ai pas eu la flemme de mettre les noms binominaux en italique

Ah, it's been a while that I haven't drawn a shark that is not cartoony... At least 3 years, so I haven't yet put one on deviantART, but I love these animals, and especially Lamnidae because they are hydrodynamic, beautiful, and they exude awesomeness.
 And thus to inaugurate the first drawing of non-cartoony shark that I upload on deviantART, I suggest you to meet Otodus obliquus, a giant Mackerel shark that lived from Paleocene to Eocene, about 60 to 45 million years ago.
This shark easily exceed 7 meters (adult individuals are estimated to reach 9 or 10 meters). It was discovered in Africa, Europe, Asia and North America and it is likely that he was one of the apex predator of its environment.
By studying his teeth, scientists have come to the conclusion that this giant Mackerel shark was one of the ancestors of the famous NotCarcharodon megalodon, who (sorry to break your dreams) is probably not the ancestor of the Great White Shark, didn't reached 40 meters long, didn't lived along with the non-avian Dinosaurs, and who is more than likely exctinct .
For the design of this Otodus I was inspired by the typical Lamnidae, who gave its name to the family, the Porbeagle, or Lamna nasus (I bet you did not think about that one) and I made it beefier.

PS: This time, I wasn't as slacker as usual and I put the binomial names in italic
