If megalodons were around today it would be in the same places as sperm whales and giant squid. It would be smaller and adapted for colder weather It would also eat blue whales as even orcas will group up and hunt them even. We need to see their teeth marks on whale remains

Thank you for not using an AI narrator - they’ve become so popular that it’s getting harder to find great content with REAL people doing the narration! Also, I find your voice incredibly relaxing and it’s making me calm down upon stressful days

[@WinterLeafyYT]

AI voices are so annoying for me

[@jaroslavsvaha6065]

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

[@Daralexen]

They also would have been hit by boats or caught in gill nets by now, considering that animals similar to it in size such as North Atlantic Right whales often get caught in gillnets or are accidently hit by boats.

[@ThatCarGuy1983]

They can survive in deep waters there are sharks in the Mariana trench..

[@jaroslavsvaha6065]

@@ThatCarGuy1983 "The deepest recorded shark sighting is the Portuguese dogfish, which has been found at depths around 3,700 meters." Only select few shark species live at depths below 1000 meters (which isn't that deep)

[@memeboi3448]

​@ThatCarGuy1983 there are only a handful of deep sea sharks 0 of which could even thing about going into the trench. There is nothing in the trench bigger then a few inches so please explain to me how a 50ft shark could survive off of that

[@bradleyjohnson1702]

​@@ThatCarGuy1983they said most sharks can't live in the trench, which is true. The few species that do live that far down are things like goblin sharks, pacific sleepers, and frilled sharks, which are adapted to live in that deep water environment.

[@TheDarkSideOfIndustry]

Just because Meglodon is extinct doesn’t mean giant predatory sharks are impossible, however they would likely look more like sleeper sharks. Still scary as hell though

[@glitchyboi-nk1qv]

Being the size of the Megalodon is impossible though even then DNA shows it has similar bodily structure to that of a great white or tiger shark, so the megalodon could not survive in the depths people say it might reside in

[@TheSandwhichman108]

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.

[@bradleyjohnson1702]

What you're describing is called melanism. It is rare, but not unheard of by any means.

[@TheSandwhichman108]

@ Ah ok. Still you think it’s likely those people simply encountered a particularly great white with melanism? Probably a large 15 footer.

[@bradleyjohnson1702]

@@TheSandwhichman108 much more likely than an extinct species or one of super shark for sure. I've worked in fisheries management for almost 18 years (degree from Auburn University) and Ive seen more albino and melanistic fish (and other species) than most people would think. Ive even seen the elusive orange gator, which is an alligator with albinism who's skin was stained orange from the red clay stained river systems during rainy season in southeast Alabama northwest Florida and southwest Georgia. So discoloration is always a possibility

[@TheSandwhichman108]

@ What’s one thing you caught or at least seen in a fishery that legit still haunts you to this day? Something that you still can’t forget.

[@bradleyjohnson1702]

@TheSandwhichman108 I mean, the scariest thing I've encountered by far was an enormous Goliath grouper probably 7+ feet 900lbs that snuck up on me while I was doing a reef inspection in the Gulf of Mexico off Mexico Beach FL, I know most people assume id say shark, and I've been startled by a few sharks before, but most sharks are more or less harmless and are just curious, and they usually circle first, tiger sharks are probably the most intimidating Ive been in the water with, and I had a couple dozen great hammerheads cruise directly over me, but to me that was more awe inspiring than frightening. Whale shark cruise under your boat sure makes you feel small, but again, I was just lost in that moment more than any sort of fear.

Not unlikely, simply impossible. The idea of a "living megalodon" is so silly. It was just wishful thinking that got out of hand.

In regards to the dumb idea of the Otodus megalodon still existing in the deep ocean, another thing people must consider is IF this species did not simply go extinct, it would have adapted and EVOLVED into a totally different animal and would therefore not be a “Megalodon” anymore

[@NuevoExistence]

correction, the Megalodon had several rivals. It did not dominate as much as people think.

[@mmfood3004]

We don't know this, we know very little about the ecosystem that megalodon and livyatan lived in or how they interacted with each other. The idea that they were 'rivals' is just an idea and there is no evidence in the fossil record that we've found

[@NuevoExistence]

@mmfood3004 Not true. Look at the marine reptiles that lived alongside them. Also, megalodon was a scavenger. The reptiles were not. It had numerous predators that had an advantage in speed and agility.

[@NuevoExistence]

@mmfood3004 Livyatan was competition, a pod of orcas could kill it, and the estimate of megalodon says about 35 feet. Not over 60. That would be a giant among them. The exception and not the rule.

[@mmfood3004]

@@NuevoExistence There is no fossil evidence for any of the claims you have made here. We know very, very little about that time period and pretending we do doesn't really serve anyone. Everything you've said is just speculation, it's interesting but you lack any hard evidence for any of it.

[@NuevoExistence]

@mmfood3004 Again, Livyatan was a rival. Because of its size, it was a rival. And megalodon was more than likely mostly a scavenger. I'm going by what experts say. And we know a LOT about that time period. What's with this Megalodon humping? most boring thing to swim in prehistoric oceans.
