Imagine we found a megalodon perfectly frozen in ice

*Megaladon has left the chat*
Whales: That's a relief.
*Giant Squid has entered the chat.*
Whales: *Intense sweating*

[astroduck]

everyone else: Megaladon is big, heartless, and terrifying

Infographics Show: *animates shark as cute and fat*

I love how they animated the Meg as a cute fish and not one of the biggest animals ever.

[xavier-irkf]

my father used to get past this fish when he used to swim to go to school

i remember back when i was in grade 1, we had to do this project where we chose an animal, did resaerch on it, and make a poster about it. i chose a megaladon, and i was the most enthuseastic about this project out of the whole class. i spent a long time doing reaserch, and since it was a poster we also got to draw a picture, so i drew proberly the trashiest picture ever, but i was proud of it at the time.

The background music makes me feel like I'm in a tornado drill at school.

What megladon wasn't huge, just merely had huge mouths? 😯

Everybody gangsta until a scientist discovers a mosquito with megs blood and a billionaire opens a Megs park

[missriss_]

"But studies suggest that on average, a female meg-"

Me: Shut up, Meg.

[xancovart]

That literally broke my heart when you see the polar bear saying well I guess it’s my time to say goodbye😭😭😭

[duh]

what if the megalodon evolved to be smaller and was actually a named species of present-day shark?

[TheCosmicFreeway]

Me: Oh no! A giant shark!!
Megalodon: I'm looking for a transporter ...

[bsnhbksan]

One day, after 20 million years of roaming the ocean, the last Megladon that would ever live closed its eyes for the last time :.(

[akilovescookiesforever]

This video sorta mentioned it but if the megalodon was so huge, it would’ve needed a lot more food than smaller species, with the lessening of their prey in general they would’ve had a hard time eating enough to supply their body thus dying

[mandapaige]

“But are they truly extinct?”

Me: Yes they are! And I’m never swimming in the ocean again to find out!! 😳😳😳

[doofward]

it would be so weird to just go swimming and seeing a gigantic fin coming at you

[kindplanet]

Meg seeing Great White

Meg: Who are you?

Great White: I am you but built to survive this new environment

Meg: *sad noises*

[gabriellundes]

I’d like to think that they where so big that they wouldn’t waste time on our tiny human bodies 😥😰
