And, it's supposed to have incredible bite damage.  Its jaws were many times bigger and more powerful than T.rex's - it could swallow a cow whole!!!CARCHARODON     Gargantuan Animal (Aquatic)Hit Dice:    21d8+264 (370 hp)Initiative:    +2Speed:    Swim 80 ft.

Carcharodons are immense, growing to a length of 60 feet and weigh more than 80,000 pounds.CombatCarcharodons bite with their powerful jaws, swallowing smaller creatures in one gulp.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a carcharodon must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can try to swallow the foe in the following round.Swallow Whole (Ex): A carcharodon can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of up to one size smaller by making a successful grapple check. Once inside, the opponent takes 2d8+6 points of bludgeoning damage plus 2d6+4 points of acid damage per round from the carcharodon’s digestive juices. A swallowed creature can cut its way out using a light slashing or piercing weapon by dealing 25 points of damage to the carcharodon’s digestive tract (AC 13). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out.A Gargantuan carcharodon’s gullet can hold 2 Huge, 8 Large or Medium, 32 Small, 128 Tiny, or 512 Diminutive or smaller opponents.Keen Scent (Ex): A carcharodon can notice creatures by scent in a 180-foot radius and can detect blood in the water at a range of up to 1 mile.Skills: A carcharodon has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered.It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.</blockquote>
