Still think this sounds better than the benny hill theme, don't you? ;) Also, when you want music to go with massive creatures in the dark depths of the ocean, you usually set something ominous to it, dangerous or not.

We know more about space than we do the ocean. Only a few times have we successfully went down to some of the deepest points. The ocean is bigger than all land masses combined. That's a lot of water to explore. So yeah there could be something huge down there and we would never see it. Actually it doesn't even have to be at the bottom of the ocean. The ocean is so vast that there could be a rare species of some creature that is only a couple hundred feet down.

The game ARK: Survival Evolved has very accurate representations of both these prehistoric beasts. The megalodon is very noticeably smaller (took three tries to line up properly because big fishy kept moving around) being around only a third the size. The leedsichthys has been speculated to have has the same temperament as every other plankton-feeder, which has also been reflected in ARK. Shame you can't tame the leeds in the game; however, you can pen them up as my tribe has had three and can be manipulated as a form of defense, one of said three took out 5-6 enemy-tamed megalodons as well as a few other things before it was killed.

Megalodon's size is often exaggerated in pop-culture. There isn't even a consencus on its size. The approximations vary, going from 11 meters up to 16, similar to large Mosasaurs. Whale sharks can grow bigger than that. But yeah, Megalodon is the largest predatory shark we know of. Compare that to the largest recorded male Physeter macrocephalus sizes, and it's clear that even though Megalodon was monstrous, modern day sperm whales are substantially bigger. They might even be the biggest predators that have ever existed. Leedsichthys is now estimated to have been around 13 meters on average, with large individuals reaching up to 16 meters. The body sizes of these prehistoric creatures tend to be over-estimated at first, but it's quite typical that over time, as our knowledge grows, such estimations are reduced and lowered. It takes a while for this to reach the masses, though, and so when you read up to date scientific papers, you'll see more realistic size estimations, whereas pop culture still lingers on those truly gigantic estimations. Look at "The Meg", the movie, for instance. People just like to hear about 30 meter long Leviathans, and everything has to be bigger and larger and more mysterious than it actually is. I blame America for this, lol.

Down Hill So is Leedsichthys. And also theres a reason why the largest animals on this planet all live in water. Water can carry that kind of weight, on land a creature of that size would be crushed by its own weight. Thats why a land creature could never grow up to the same lenghts. At least not on this planet.

You guys said it yourself: it's a filter feeder. Thirdly, 'small fry' is such a massive click bait title. It was only a few feet bigger than the whale shark it's obvious that you're trying to rake in views. Good day. I'll come back when you've come up with some *quality* content.
