British natural historian and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, during his visit to the Kensington Palace, gave young Prince George a fossilised shark tooth. Attenborough was visiting the royal palace for a private screening of his new documentary A Life On Our Planet. Attenborough gave Prince George a giant shark tooth from a carcharocles megalodon, a species that lived approximately 3 million years ago.

The carcharocles megalodon sharks, also known as 'Big Tooth', lived during the Miocene period and were three times larger than the great white sharks living today. 

According to the Associated Press, Attenborough had found the shark tooth during a family vacation in Malta in the late 1960s. Attenborough gave the shark tooth to the seven-year-old, who is third in line to become the King of England after his father Prince William and grandfather Prince Charles. In one of the pictures shared by the official Twitter handle of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George can be seen intriguingly looking at the shark tooth that Attenborough gifted him.
