"...a Japanese whale research vessel..."

yeah sure

"The next time you go paddling in a lake, river or sea, take a moment to consider what might be lurking beneath your feet."
Thank you very much. Now my beach day this Sunday is screwed.

Yeah I stopped swimming decades ago.
If I cant see the bottom then I`ll take a

I remember when I was a kid, giant squids were sort-of a myth everyone was looking for. I used to watch documentaries that ended with the scientists disappointed but hopeful. Now I live in a world where they're real. It's so cool to have lived through that happening.

[benmallett]

Being a submariner myself, the idea of these creatures inhabiting where we operate sure does make me question my career choice 😂

This is one of the best channels on YouTube. Fantastic narration, talented artwork, extremely well written, researched, and presented. I hope you continue to make us happy!

17:15 "So what are we to make of these sea, river and lake monsters?" Some bomb ass sushi.

The ocean is both beautiful and down right terrifying. It’s obvious there’s stuff down there we haven’t discovered yet

[belisauriusfish]

The issue with the whole megalodon thing is that we know exactly how they went extinct. It takes large meals or energy efficient meals to keep large carnivores fed. It’s why great whites will ignore small fish and focus on larger prey, such as seals. There was a large set of extinctions in marine ecosystems following a changing climate, wiping out a lot of the megalodon’s food, and what prey survived was often migratory, meaning that it was only within reach certain times of the year. Furthermore, they faced competition from ancestors of modern marine predators like the orca and aforementioned great white. Megalodon starved to death. Furthermore, they were fairly shallow water animals. So far as we can tell, they preferred warm coastal waters. Suggestions that they found refuge in the deepest parts of the ocean, where not only is it immensely cold, but there is not enough food to sustain it, are nonsensical. Something killed that shark, but I’d bet any money I have made and ever will make that a megalodon was not the culprit. A realize now that this is a large block of text, and apologize. I’m just really enthusiastic about fish and like to talk about them maybe a bit too much.

Jfc why do I do this to myself

I'm not sure how I stumbled across this channel, but I'm definitely glad I did. Good stuff.

I'm more inclined to give credence to sea based cryptids than to their land based counterparts, since we know effectively bugger all about what's down there. A lot of these sightings could simply be mis-identification, or maybe even a mutant strain of an already discovered species. It's not hard to believe that people happened to spot a particularly large saltwater crocodile and mistook it for some kind of sea monster.

The great white case is quite compelling. My first guess would have been Orca. Maybe it is an undiscovered species, but I doubt it would be a Megalodon. Those things are so massive there would be absolutely nowhere for them to hide, and besides, current theory suggests they would need to return to shallower waters to birth. If that was the case we'd be seeing them all the time.

[lazarus]

Now hear me out... I do have thalassophobia. I do believe there are massive sea creatures we've never seen. I've been on a ship during storms and I've seen how the waves lash at the ship. Imagining I was a sailor back in the time of wooden ships, I could see how much worse those waves would throw around the ship. You could compare the the lashing of the waves to swipes from a monster. In the heat of the moment, it'd be easy to mistake a wave washing somebody off the deck for a tentacle swiping somebody off. Maybe the Kraken isn't a literal monster, but a metaphor for the ferocity of the ocean in a storm. Or at the very least a trick of the eyes. This theory doesn't make the ocean any less terrifying though.

[safe-keeper]

This is why Subnautica is such a great game. We feel a kind of foreboding feeling about the oceans which we know so little about.

[horsepower]

If a living Megalodon would really be discovered then I don't think anyone would dare to set their foot near an ocean ever again.

[Bigslam]

There is something in the water...



And it turns the fricking frogs gay!

[eringaughn]

Even without sea monsters, I'm not keen on swimming in lakes and such. You can never tell where the flesh eating bacteria is and that is a horrific enough death.

2:21 Just to clear things up for those who don’t understand why we haven’t explored 95%:

1. The 5% is the sea mapped out meaning that even if YOU explore a new place in the sea, it remains unexplored untill you draw a map of the area.

2. Sand doesn’t stay in one place meaning that the depth changes (How important that is to know, if you’re mapping a new area, I don’t know)

To sum up: Don’t take the word “explore” literally in this context.

Around the year 1985 my younger brother. William Pearsall operated a large dredger. Dredging silt from the muddy waters of the Trinity river just outside Grand Prairie Texas (a suburb of Dallas). On this particular day he'd dipped the huge dredger bucket deep into the silt of the river when it became stuck. Thinking he had snagged a large stone, he increased power the the massive dredger engine. It bulked to the point of dying. Each time he increased power. Only to have the same result. Finally he increased power to the maximum the huge engine could provide, and the bucket began to rise ever so slowly. It took at least five minutes of engine strain to the maximum to bring it to the surface. But as it rose above it an entire crew of men gasp! Because there, draped over the large dredger bucket was what can only be described as the body of a large snake! It's width was described as being as tall as a man. The dredger raised it as high in the air as it was able. Around thirty five to forty feet. Neither the head nor the tail of the beast ever came out of the water. After a minute or two, the beast rolled it's body sideways. Rolling off the bucket and disappearing back into the muddy waters of the trinity river. Every last man of the crew, including my brother Will. Fled that work site, and refused to ever return to it. This is a true story as it was related to me by my considerably shaky brother. So you see...there really is....something in the water!
