I research on extinct sharks ๐ฆ. I love doing field trips ๐ for collecting fossil teeth โ and spending time with other palaeontologists to learn about these creatures of the past. My favourite extinct shark is Megalodon ๐ฆ. Actually, I have been studying this gigantic shark for several years ๐ป๐งฌ and I have published some articles about it โ๐ผ. My most interesting finding is that Megalodon was a warm-blooded shark! ๐ก๐ก๐ก Like some mammals ๐ญ and birds ๐ฆ .
