Where Could the Megalodon be Hiding? 🦈

The Megalodon was the biggest shark that ever lived, but people still wonder if it could be hiding out in the depths of the ocean somewhere. Even though the ocean covers 70% of Earth's surface and is still largely unexplored, the Megalodon went extinct about 3 million years ago, as that's when it disappeared from the fossil record. Megalodons preferred swimming in warmer waters and required lots of large prey to feed on, so it's theorized that when the climate cooled, they lost habitat and significant food resources leading to their extinction. #themeg #meg #megalodon #oceanexploration #oceanhistory #shorts

The megalodon at this point has reached the level of cryptozoology comparable to bigfoot and loch ness. It literally requires paranormal properties to exist today.

"Leviathan class creature detected in the area."

Nothing more American than measuring with school busses or football fields

Colossal squid are the hide and seek champs.

Is there any chance that the Megalodon still exists today? Orcas: Nope!

So glad to finally find a video of someone actually using logic and knowing that there's literally no way the megalodon could still be out there, as cool as that may be.

When the megalodon was still alive and competing with great whites, it was, to no ones surprise, the great whites thst came out on top. This is cause megalodons liked to keep their temperature about 7 degrees-ish above the water surrounding them (if I'm not wrong at least), which made them more efficient huntets but they also needed more food. When the ocean temperatures got even colder, they needed even more food during a time period where there wasn't a lot to go around, I believe, so they ended up dying out.

Great video! Too many people believe that the Meg still exists, and it takes the focus off living sharks that need our help (like the critically endangered Oceanic Whitetip or Scalloped Hammerhead).

The megaladon is hiding with the giant sloth, Bigfoot, and the loch ness

“What creature should we be searching for?”

“My dad.”

[Truthful-guy-with-pen]

Megoladon exist*
Orcas: why am i hearing boss musice!!

[kingnightmarevin]

Probably more frilled sharks, I love those freaky goobers

[FrogInShorts]

There's also not enough resources for a Meg to sustain its metabolism that deep down.

[LadyViscera]

For Megalodons to still exist, they would’ve had to evolve so much that they wouldn’t even be Megalodons anymore

[JustSumGuy]

Thank you for this. So many people want to believe.

[Partia_Lenina]

Why do you want this thing to be alive so bad, I swear there are more terrifying creatures out there

[Xelaria]

The Meg could have evolved to live in cold high pressure waters. Though I think it would have significantly shrunk then.

[BAdwlf_edtz]

I love going shark tooth hunting and in the past I have found a meg tooth. It’s really big

[Thebattlecatbetterthanghenshin]

The problem is that in the depth of somewhere like Mariana Trench, it’s very lack of food for something can weight up to 138 tons, so nope

[MutantSkipper]

Ah yes bus measurement! Two buses as a form of measurement is always a go to.

[georgeofhamilton]

Truly one of the scariest animals ever.
