Inaccurate paleoart.jpg This paleontological restoration is inaccurate, or its accuracy is disputed.

Reason: Both Megalodons should be shorter by a meter, as the label is actually 21 m long, not 20.
You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of Wikiproject Palaeontology on the English Wikipedia.
