To whoever does research for The Infographics Show: BE CAREFUL! You mistakenly said the largest Great White was 36 ft. Though there have been measurements, they are questionable. The top confirmed size a Great White can get is 20ft. The 36ft supposed White may actually of been a case of mistaken identity, such as a Basking shark.

[@panther7865]

Its not that big of a deal honestly

[@elizabethbarringer2791]

I'm laughing so hard 20 ft that's all they get they could never get bigger than 20 ft never and as we all know scientists are absolutely correct in all matters no matter what the subject they know more than anybody in the whole wide world now I'm rolling in the aisles. Deep down inside every scientist knows that a Megalodon exists but they just like watching people get eaten by sharks they find it entertaining. And since they're so convinced there's not enough food they don't want the public to be deterred from going in the water how are they going to feed their pet megalodons. Don't live forever but what about the jellyfish studies where we know that they live forever. Anytime Sciences involved they contradict themselves day in and day out it's hilarious especially the blind people who followed them and hang on their every word like it's gospel. Come on babe what you going to believe your own eyes or something a scientist told you.

[@amongOS806]

@De Corius TV the thing is 20% of the oceans have been mapped and there are somethings called sonars and satellites that they use to scan the ocean. The other 80% of the ocean is just dead space where a lot of things can’t survive. The megalodon was a warm water shark, its impossible for it be somewhere in the deep ocean because it would die from the cold water. If it still existed, it wouldn’t hide itself and we would’ve found it a while ago. If it evolved into something else then it wouldn’t be a megalodon anymore.

@@thisguy7976 No I just don't think one thats 50-60 ft, Mesopelagic, preyed on whales, and had a body temp high enough to make toast wouldn't still be alive in our oceans today. But the people who go pump out the same excuses why megalodon would still exist are a joke however.

Oh they definitely went extinct. People just want them to be alive.

I love the music

[@chrisfittipaldi3827]

OK the shark probably didn't die from getting killed by a bigger creature it probably died because of how big and how much food it needs to survive

Actually the megalodon did have a challenger that lived in the same areas at the same time, the livyatan the livyatan has the largest teeth ever excluding tusks and the meg and the livyatan definitely fought and the livyatan probably won 70% of the time

I thought the megalodon evolved onto land becoming some kind of Land shark and died out from an ice age

That comment was a joke lol

If the Megalodon went extinct than why did i see one in a movie??.?

[@teflonravager]

They just put 4 great whites into a megalodon suit. You can see the seams if you look close.

A shark can be blind and still be able to find prey, for a show called infographics you sure do get a lot of stuff wrong or incorrect.

[@anthonyirving4174]

U know wht infographics show is really entertaining and interesting. Its filled with either education or other entertainment series like this. Btw there's another marine animal in the ocean that can fight or dominate over the Megalodon. That marine creature is Livyatan whale. Its also said that it hunted Megalodon as food. The Livyatan whale is also very deadly it also has razor sharp, serrated and tough teeth. Its 80-100 feet long. It can defeat the Meg. Livyatan also has a tough body so hard for the Meg to injury it.
