A giant shark tooth presented to Prince George by Sir David Attenborough may be reclaimed by Malta where it was originally found, according to reports. The veteran broadcaster gave the gift to the young royal last Thursday when he visited Kensington Palace to watch his latest documentary with the Duke of Cambridge. George was photographed looking intrigued as he handled the fossilised tooth from an extinct Carcharocles megalodon – one of the most feared predators to have swum in the seas. pic.twitter.com/4cBZPVS631 — The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (@KensingtonRoyal) September 26, 2020The giant shark tooth given to George was found by Sir David during a family holiday to Malta in the late 1960s. Carcharocles megalodon is believed to have grown to 15 metres in length, which is about twice the length of the great white shark.
