A tooth that belonged to an ancient giant shark has been stolen from a World Heritage site in Australia.

The 8-cm (3-inch) tooth went missing from a secret location in a park in the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage site in Western Australia, the BBC reported.
The fossil came from the Megalodon species, a giant predator that is believed to have gone extinct about 2.6 million years ago.
