(doi:10.1098/rsbl.2015.0781)Following publication of our article, we acknowledge that there was an error in our extrapolated cruising speed for the megalodon shark. Our estimate of 5.04 m s−1 should have been 1.34 m s−1. However, we note that this corrected estimate for a 48 tonne individual may be low as its mass has been estimated as high as 100 tonnes [1].This correction refers to a swim speed estimate for this extinct species only and does not influence the main analyses presented in our paper.Footnotes© 2016 The Author(s)Published by the Royal Society.
