If it exists I'm going to go with some sort of hybrid.

Like the liger, it's a cross between lion and tiger but grows to an enormous size because it gets two growth genes and no stop growing genes.

This was really interesting! I didn’t know it was a movie. I love sci-fi shark movies😂

the 'skeptic' 'scientific' position is a trope by now, the way we explain away stuff doesn't serve anyone, it is just going around in circles, it does give an air of expertise but since covid we all know experts are the c a n c e r of our civilisation

I have seen a Basking Shark over a decade ago. They can reach ~30 feet and larger. Draw-Dropping size when sighting them in the wild.
The thing to understand is, it's very hard to estimate the size and scale when next to these behemoths.
Whale & Basking Sharks are too friendly despite their massive size. Orcas are distinctly different from a Shark (generally friendly to Humans), and Megalodon don't exist.
If it exists, either a Great White or a Subspecies of a Great White we have not discovered yet.

Baja is a Spanish word. You don’t pronounce it with an English J sound, instead BaHa.
