This is wild and unexpected!!

Wow, awesome

[@florianobonfanti7801]

But the most dangerous species of sharks is another. They're bipedes, a well protected species, the most protected. It's forbidden to hunt them and... even talk about them.👃🦈

Ah... a loan shark!

Megladon sharks that were huge were hunted long before Greek culture I suspect. It has been proposed with hard evidence that the Bimini Road structure was to get them onshore, stranded to be despatched. I also suspect they hunted them because they were very large and dangerous to mariners. Ref; Florida Maquis channel about 2 years ago. Lol

I've always heard that megalodon died out millions of years ago (and I find it hard to imagine humans hunting them), but who knows..!

P.S. Bimini Road is very interesting, I remember seeing a documentary/video about that. Highly mysterious I reckon.

​@Vingul can you make a vid on it?

​@@violenceislife1987 Oh, I don't have the expertise ^^ I don't remember where I saw that other vid either I'm afraid.
