  1. Funny how people love to throw around the trem "size limits", forgetting there isn't actually a thing for aquatic life forms. So long as there is enough food, territory, and of course limit of predators, animals will continue to grow in size until it dies. Examples are crocodiles, snakes, and of course, fish.

  2. First minute of this video, already incorrect information x.x
    The Megalodon wasn't related to the great white at all family wise and it's size estimate is so varied now that it could have been skinny and as long as 66ft or as small as 30ft. Also not being top of food chain due to mosasaur

  3. sorry your opening comment about 60 feet long teeth, 3x the size of great white sharks. Seems wrong, dont you mean bite ? I have never read or seen anything about great white sharks having teeth longer than a person for one.

  4. The Meg is still alive today and is capable of feeding off of Mako Sharks, a species that humans know of but don't keep accurate counts of their numbers. There's been people who have seen a great white eating a seal only to be eaten by a larger shark, possibly a Meg down in the Africa region. If the Shark went extinct over a Million years ago why do some Fossil Teeth only date back 10,000 years?

  5. Not unlikely, simply impossible. The idea of a "living megalodon" is so silly. It was just wishful thinking that got out of hand.
    People think the planet is flat, so they'll believe anything

    I understand that it's fun to use our imaginations, so I get it. Sometimes you see weird things you just can not explain. It's freaky, scary & amazing.

    But the megalodon are long gone.

  6. To Megalodon believers, here are some reasons why scientists are sure they are extinct:
    – they would have huge footprint, due to the amount of food they'd need. Sharks are partly endothermic, so they need more food than exothermic predator of same size
    – living deep below the surface requires significant adaptation. Most sharks don't live in deep waters, nor can they
    – no recent fossils/remains found. Sharks have cartilage instead of bones, which decays much faster. The only thing we found of megalodons was teeth, suggesting they died a long time ago
    – you can't have 1 surviving specimen. You need a certain minimum number of pairs to maintain stable population. For great white, that's about 250 pairs. So we're not talking about a colossal shark hiding somewhere, it's about 500 colossal sharks hiding somewhere

  7. What about the Ganges River shark from India and Bangladesh? It is only known from museum specimens, and it was last seen in 2016 at a fish market in Mumbai. Unlike similarly rare and critically endangered freshwater animals in Asia such as baiji, Chinese alligator, finless porpoise, and Yangtze giant softshell turtle, there are none in captivity nor are there photos or videos of living ones online.

  8. It’s likely the black demon shark was simply a great white with a skin mutation.
    There’s a skin mutation various animals can get which caused all the pigments in there skin to be dark.
    I forgot what’s called but it’s likely that a group of fisherman simply encountered a particularly large great white with said skin mutation.

  9. Honestly wasn't expecting there to be A LOT of Shark cryptids out there, enough to make a 1 hour long video anyway. I mean aquatic cryptids in general are pretty plentiful on their own.

  10. If Megalodon still exists it would have to be way below the thermal layer, and there would have to be very big animals down there for it to eat. Remember, we have explored more of outer space then we have explored our seas and oceans.
