Slight correction, cartilage VERY RARELY fossilizes and we have Megalodon vertebra as a result, though they've only been found as singular pieces and never as a whole or even partial spine. The sheer size and thickness of the parts are probably the only reason they managed to fossilize in the first place, rather than degrading like the rest of it.

Just when I thought I knew everything there is to know about Megalodon, I learn that their extiction essentially enabled whales as we know them. Pretty amazing how a single species was a gatekeeper for that niche, and then we got predatory whales so massive they likely would've given Megalodon a run for its money.

Being the ultimate predator can be a gamble. On the one hand, after growing to a certain size, nobody will mess with you. On the other hand, if something in your environment changes, it's harder to change along with it fast enough. And thankfully for the whales, (and us, ) the Megalodon, couldn't keep up.

isn't Megalodon the leader of the Decepticons

I still don't get the people who think it's still alive. They're all dead, we would've found more teeth if they were still here. Now, some of them might say "well no dummy it's in the Mariana Trench or something!" they couldn't survive there, nor is there anything to eat, plus it couldn't adapt as fast.
Edit: Oh also don't argue with people in the comments. They're either attention seeking trolls or close-minded people that don't understand anything you say, it's just not even worth it to respond

Another important cause of their extinction is the rise of Great White and other similar sharks, which out competed the juvenile Megalodons for resources. So, it was not just the adult Megalodons who lacked suitable food source, but the juveniles too had a steep competition.

So Amazing.
Is it just me or does anyone else get to the end of Animalogic videos and find themselves wishing they were longer?
😄👍

Animalogic, Can you do an episode on Whaling? (Animal industry could be a spin off series. GDP and environmentalism).

Depressing, maybe, but important to know!

One of my favorite extinct animals, I will never forgive discovery for that fake megalodon documentary they did.

What to talk about next? The historic 3-feet wingspan dragonflies.

A recent paper that calculated the energy expenditure of Megs found that they could go for ages on a sizable meal. They could eat an adult Orca (or rather, Orca sized animal) in as little as three bites and then run on that energy for weeks if not months.
