Exactly, something that big would need to prey on Cetaceans to sustain its metabolism and we would have certainly heard some sort of report or even anecdotal evidence during the Whaling boom of the 1800s.
I always love the "it looked like a great white but it was too big to be one" lines when they come up, I wonder if that's how an alien would describe seeing a pro basketball player or an abnormally large man walk by, "it looked like a human, but it was way too tall to be a human!"
I don't get any of the claims people make about The Meg. It's just a white shark but bigger and blacker? It's blood thirsty? It lives in places where it couldn't survive? It evolved to live where they couldn't survive, which makes it not a Meg anymore, but the Meg exists?
I dislike the depiction of Megalodon as an upscaled White shark, yes it has a similar tooth profile but I’d consider this convergent evolution due to possible prey rather than just an XXL Great White

The video of the shark in the pond is of a White Shark in Massachusetts. It was taken by a shark enthusiast in Massachusetts a while back and it’s called Great White Shark in Massachusetts Pond on RUclips. It made the news, but it was just a confused lil guy who was stuck, but eventually made its way out
Rather than focusing on trying to "rediscover" or find a extinct species of shark why dont they make videos on why we need to save our current living species
One thing I never understand about the conspiracy theorists claims that people are hiding stuff is just simply “why?” What good does hiding most of what they theorise about even do?
The tourist industrie world wide would collapse if the people would know there are Megalodons in the water. As soon as the Megalodon knows people know it still exist, it would immediatly start to eat everyone who even dips a toe in the water.
@@wolf310ii people are scared of sharks in general anyway a bigger shark isn’t that much of a difference. Plus they’re warm water surface sharks so it wouldn’t be much more dangerous than it is now
If Megs still existed, anyone who wanted them to continue to exist, would probably hide it. Humans kind of suck...i mean the US congress is using wolf populations in Northern Canada and Alaska, to determine if protections should continue for wolves in Wyoming and Montana...
It's the same thing as flat earthers. You go "but literally who would care enough to hide it" and their minds explode. "It's the government! they lie!" yeah ok but why about this? nobody would care. like, they think we'll lose our minds over a big shark in the ocean? when we already have great whites? it's just a bigger shark my man, I'm pretty sure we can handle it
@@theangryholmesian4556 Sorry, that is just what you are accustomed to. I can assure you, everyone who grew up in our metric world, has a very good idea how long 60m are. Just like you can easily grasp how long 200 feet are. I just hate being exclusive.
@@theangryholmesian4556 No, I didn´t want to argue for the superiority of one system above the other. My only point is, that you can relate to the system you know best. For you, that´s feet and yard, and for me it´s the meter. Totally ok either way.
To be specific, 60m is 196 feet. Also, there have been recordings of blue whales up to 110 feet (33.5 meters) long but they're commonly 70-80 feet (21-24 meters.)
to have a surviving population of an animal species you need at least 25 or so individuals, however to have a healthy population you will need over a thousand also side note: a study was conducted on where megladon sharks would have lived, and it showed they could survive in 1 degree water (Celsius) but preferred 20 degree water
i don’t know if you’ve done this.. but it would be funny for you to create a “megaladon/fake animal bingo card” where you watch these videos and see if you can get bingo… for example you could have a space that says “ Mariana Trench” and if they mentioned it in the video, you cross off the square!

Fun Fact: In german we say "Weißer Hai", which means "White Shark". I always wondered why in english they have the "Great" prefix there. Second Fun Fact: The movie Jaws is called "Der Weiße Hai" (The White Shark) xD
Apparently, the oceanic white-tipped shark also used to be called "white shark", so this one was called "great white shark" and the other became "lesser white shark". The oceanic white-tipped shark is no longer called that, so the "great" isn't needed anymore.
third fun fact: the shark is sometimes referred to as "menschenhai" or "human shark", not sure if thats from its size or because it supposedly eats humans
second question if they are hiding it how do you know the info you get from "sources" aren't fake to throw us off anyways i mean honeypots are a thing in the computing world
Because of deductive reasoning. You don't need to know something to think of the possibility. (Not saying megalodons still exist, they are obviously extinct, but that's how conspiracy theorists "know", they deduce it and then try to bend/create proof to fit their narrative)
@@Rammkommando Ngl you could've picked 100 other things that normal people would understand lol. VERY few people not into computers/cyber security will get what you mean by honeypot, nor does bringing up the computer word make sense in this context. I mean you're not wrong, it's just very out of place and a very high-textile way to say "they're misleading us so we look in all the wrong places for all the wrong things"
10:50 That’s the Swim-Swim shark, which is a very misleading name as, the Swim-Swim doesn’t actually swim, it jet propulses across the water at such high speeds, and is around the size of the Meg.
The great white shark was called that because the whitetip shark was originally called the white shark (and later called the lesser white shark), but since the whitetip shark isn't called that anymore and hasn't been for a very long time, the great in "great white shark" is redundant.
@@FeddytheReal apparently anti-discrimination groups launched calls for it to be changed to “great shark” because it was seen as racial to refer to a shark as white and implies white things are great. They were also planning on launching a lawsuit/petition saying that it was a breach of the anti discrimination act.
The first clip is of a pacific sleeper shark which you are right that it’s size is greatly exaggerated but it’s still a massive shark. The low end estimate by Eugene Clark was 7m(23ft), however some people estimate it could have been around the 10m(33ft) range. I hate how people use this footage of a rare and amazing shark as proof for megladon. Sleeper sharks and Greenland sharks are fascinating, but hardly touched upon and need more attention.
For why Great Whites are no longer called "Great": From what I can find online, the "Great" was added because another shark was also called white shark, which in turn became the "Lesser White Shark". Lesser White Shark is no longer used, so the great white has literally no need for the "Great" in its name.
It said the "massive shark" over the normal-sized crab trap was 60 meters. That's nearly 200 feet. The largest blue whale ever measured was 110 feet. He meant 60 feet
We have salmon sharks here in BC Canada as well as the occasional "great white" shark. We are also keeping our large community of Megaladon sharks that live in south surrey a secret
I think the first shark that you called " Greenland shark" was actually a white shark that got caught in a small pool in Massachusetts about 10 years ago. I remember the video.
@@demonic_myst4503 Not only that but we would have at least secondary evidence. They were BIG sharks that specialised in preying upon Cetaceans. If some still existed we WOULD have found at least a few whale corpses that showed signs of attack by a Megalodon even if we had never actually seen the animal itself. But there is nothing, Absolutely nothing.
yknow how we, as free thinking megalodon non-believers read the comments of “Ten recent sightings of megalodons, the last one may shock you” videos and see people like “ha yes, i knew it was real” and then we think ‘what poor misguided souls’? well do you reckon when they watch these videos they also think ‘what poor misguided souls’?
Hearing fairy tales from locals about the “black demon” reminds me of the time when creationists tried to look for a dinosaur that was supposedly in the Congo jungle, they went to an “isolated village”, and I think when the researchers asked about dinosaurs someone said they saw them on TV.
Yeah that dinosaur cryptid is called Mokele Mbembe, there’s also another dinosaur/mammal like cryptid often mushed alongside it called Emela-Ntouka. Both are essentially believed to have been mostly fabricated although there’s at least some minor evidence supporting at least the possibility that natives in the region consider one or the other legitimate but in truth I don’t think either are.
Me and my friend talked about how if the Meg was alive (it’s not and we agree on that) it would have to be a smaller sub-species of the Meg that evolved to be smaller, but even that’s also highly unlikely
a lot of people forget that they could have evolved that's why they don't appear it in shallow water i mean he is marine biologist not a paleontologist species tend to evolve we are talking about a shark that lived millions of years ago of course it should have evolved be real even meg hunting in shallow sea water is a speculation no one can be 100% sure we didn't knew dinosaur existed if it weren't for fossil a lot of people thought dinosaurs didn't have fur but now we know they had furs we still haven't explored the trench not even 20%
I wonder why it wouldn't make sense to assume, obviously not counting the obvious sensationalism, that if you see something that looks like a great white, but it is larger than a usual great white, that it might, and bear with me on this, MIGHT just be a freakishly large great white?
The reason scientist called "Great White Shark", "White shark" is because there is no lesser or greater white shark since both is same species. On the other hand, there is movement that try or want to change the name "Great White Shark" to simply "Great Shark" because there is the word white.
My Dad was a Marine Biologist....your views are the same as his (he had more "f'ing idiots" sprinkled in...lol). He was the Chief of our state's Fish & Game Department...he knew his fishies! lol....you rock
Most of us are of the same opinion. I am a Marine Ecologist/Evolutionary Ecologist rather than a specialist in Fish Biology but I am of the same mind as your father.
@@alganhar1 I asked him once about "Chessie" when i was younger...(I grew up on an Island in the Chesapeke Bay) He just laughed and said it was a good story.
8:55 to add in the 1870s in Australian waters, near Port Fairy they caught a 37 foot long white shark. So it's not absurd that the shark in the video was just a white
No, that shark was 16.5 not 36.5 feet long, this was a printer's error when the jaws were catalogued for the museum in 1870, and the jaws are not particularly large (they are still in the collection, iirc).
"In Reality we have them gunned to fight the Russians" Mom, I knew I wasn't crazy! Zak just confirmed it... What you say Mom? He's joking? But Zak Would NEVER do that!
Ok I may be wrong, but at 8.30, not only do we not have a size for the machinery as reference.... But the fin moves past so fast that IF it were the size claimed the shark would be moving at comedic speeds right??
4:18 I think it's because scientists know there's no greater or lesser white shark so they just call it the white shark instead of the great white shark. I literally looked it up tho so...
I just found you like as I’m typing this and I love what you do like proving stuff to everyone and try to direct people not to go to those videos because l, fake, I support you
The reason the "great" is being removed is because the oceanic white tip used to be called the white shark as well. Being bigger, the great white got the great while the oceanic became the lesser white shark. But since the oceanic isn't called the lesser white shark anymore (or at least not much) the great is being removed cause that's just how naming works in science. Can't have a great white if there isn't a lesser white.
10:59 Erm actually I time traveled to the megalodon era (totally), and I can confirm that the Megalodon moves like that. They have tiny little propellers that propel them to where they want to go based on where the Megalodon is facing.
You see, I like how your assertive yet not condescending. I keep watching all these tiktok or twitter videos of people "disproving" things and calling ppl idiots or telling them to "get educated" yet are pathetically wrong. That chick who thought Rome never happened hurt my brain.
I believe the best guess of marine biologists who study Greenland sharks is that they can live up to 450-500 yrs. The Greenland shark has one of the slowest metabolic systems in the entire animal kingdom; they live most of their lives in extremely cold water in near-total darkness, partly bc they live at great ocean depths, and partly bc most Greenland sharks move so slowly (bc of their slow metabolism) that copepod parasites called “ommatokoita elongata” attach themselves to the sharks’ corneas, making the sharks functionally blind for most of their long lives. This does not seriously impair the sharks, however, as scientists do not believe Greenland sharks depend on their sight to locate food. They are actually quite large sharks, growing up to 23 ft long. One of the most intriguing facts about Greenland sharks is that their flesh is toxic to most mammals.
4:08 it’s cos there used to be a lesser white shark, but that has been disproved or something so there’s only one White Shark, so there’s not much point in the “great” part, although it might stick around like people still calling Varanus Priscus a Megalania
The terms "White Shark" and "Great White Shark" both represent the same species, formally known as Carcharodon carcharias. Most scientists seem to prefer to use the name White Shark, apparently on the grounds that there is no 'greater' or 'lesser' White Shark, there's just one species: the White Shark.
I’m still disgusted that humans today are still portraying sharks as evil monsters. >:( As well as trying to prove the existence of Megalodon and failing. 🤦🦈
According to the a study published in 2015, Megalodon's median size is estimated at 10.02 meters as a population, accounting for variations over the Miocene and Pliocene epochs. The paper gives an increase in size with an initial median length of 9.2 meters from the mid Miocene to a median length of 10.29 meters at its extinction in the Pliocene. Ironically it the maximum size limit shrunk slightly over the same time frame from an estimated 17.9 meters to 17.68 meters (Pimiento, C. and Balk, M.A., 2015, 'Body-size trends of the extinct giant shark Carcharocles megalodon: a deep-time perspective on marine apex predators', Paleobiology, June Issue)
Same. The woke are facists and I will never do anything they demand of me. Notice they also took every single representation of other races off products sold in stores yet left every single white face on products alone. They are fascist racists and evil.

Yeah that dinosaur cryptid is called Mokele Mbembe, there’s also another dinosaur/mammal like cryptid often mushed alongside it called Emela-Ntouka. Both are essentially believed to have been mostly fabricated although there’s at least some minor evidence supporting at least the possibility that natives in the region consider one or the other legitimate but in truth I don’t think either are.
That was the slickest sponsor read I've heard in a long time - kudos
Me and my friend talked about how if the Meg was alive (it’s not and we agree on that) it would have to be a smaller sub-species of the Meg that evolved to be smaller, but even that’s also highly unlikely
a lot of people forget that they could have evolved that's why they don't appear it in shallow water i mean he is marine biologist not a paleontologist species tend to evolve we are talking about a shark that lived millions of years ago of course it should have evolved be real even meg hunting in shallow sea water is a speculation no one can be 100% sure we didn't knew dinosaur existed if it weren't for fossil a lot of people thought dinosaurs didn't have fur but now we know they had furs we still haven't explored the trench not even 20%
Thanks for the educational videos about fish and stuff,keep up with the videos
5:54 me when my mom angrily yells my first, middle, and last name.
Underrated comment 😂
I wonder why it wouldn't make sense to assume, obviously not counting the obvious sensationalism, that if you see something that looks like a great white, but it is larger than a usual great white, that it might, and bear with me on this, MIGHT just be a freakishly large great white?
I love how the title states they are recent sightseeings but these are all old fakes 😂
the videos he watches are just hey look its a shark lets just zoooooom in a bit and OH MY GOD ITS SO HUGE IT MUST BE A MEGALODON
We can't see the shark and have no clear way of identifying it so we can't say for certain what type of shark it is. So it must be a Megalodon-
same logic they use for bigfoot. we have no conclusive evidence, and all the sightings are blurry and shakey, soooo, yup, confirmed bigfoot.
The reason scientist called "Great White Shark", "White shark" is because there is no lesser or greater white shark since both is same species. On the other hand, there is movement that try or want to change the name "Great White Shark" to simply "Great Shark" because there is the word white.
@Chandler Burse but . . . We still need to solve if its the great, lesser or normal/common gray/grey/white shark xd
sooo, were the black sharks complaining?? because why the fuck would humans give 2 shits.
I don't give a shit about either reason... it's Great White.
They better not get rid of black/white tip sharks.
Apparently the name "Great White Shark" makes it sound like there's more than one species of "White Shark" when there isn't.
“Great white” sounds like a goose stepping shark.
Or it could sound like a certain species of shark.
I think you missed the joke; goose stepping is a reference to how Nazi soldiers marched.
My Dad was a Marine Biologist....your views are the same as his (he had more "f'ing idiots" sprinkled in...lol). He was the Chief of our state's Fish & Game Department...he knew his fishies! lol....you rock
Most of us are of the same opinion. I am a Marine Ecologist/Evolutionary Ecologist rather than a specialist in Fish Biology but I am of the same mind as your father.
@@alganhar1 I asked him once about "Chessie" when i was younger...(I grew up on an Island in the Chesapeke Bay) He just laughed and said it was a good story.
"TOP TEN MEGALODON SIGHTINGS (NOT FAKE) (NOT WHITE SHARKS)"
AVNJ: 🌚no
Conspiracy people always fail to state why someone would hid that? It's so dumb. Lol
Why do you need a reason when your audience is too stupid to need one
8:55 to add in the 1870s in Australian waters, near Port Fairy they caught a 37 foot long white shark. So it's not absurd that the shark in the video was just a white
No, that shark was 16.5 not 36.5 feet long, this was a printer's error when the jaws were catalogued for the museum in 1870, and the jaws are not particularly large (they are still in the collection, iirc).
I love his videos so much they're so entertaining
"In Reality we have them gunned to fight the Russians"
Mom, I knew I wasn't crazy! Zak just confirmed it... What you say Mom? He's joking? But Zak Would NEVER do that!
"Great white" sounds cooler than just "white shark"
Ok I may be wrong, but at 8.30, not only do we not have a size for the machinery as reference.... But the fin moves past so fast that IF it were the size claimed the shark would be moving at comedic speeds right??
3:15 the part about shark eyelids showings the results of the atomic bombs is crazy.
4:18 I think it's because scientists know there's no greater or lesser white shark so they just call it the white shark instead of the great white shark. I literally looked it up tho so...
Who cares what scientists say?....Great White sounds cooler.
I just found you like as I’m typing this and I love what you do like proving stuff to everyone and try to direct people not to go to those videos because l, fake, I support you
The reason the "great" is being removed is because the oceanic white tip used to be called the white shark as well. Being bigger, the great white got the great while the oceanic became the lesser white shark. But since the oceanic isn't called the lesser white shark anymore (or at least not much) the great is being removed cause that's just how naming works in science. Can't have a great white if there isn't a lesser white.
It was me, i am the Megalodon
Zak is a genius, he uses the clickbait from the video he's reacting to to clickbait us
10:59 Erm actually I time traveled to the megalodon era (totally), and I can confirm that the Megalodon moves like that. They have tiny little propellers that propel them to where they want to go based on where the Megalodon is facing.
You see, I like how your assertive yet not condescending. I keep watching all these tiktok or twitter videos of people "disproving" things and calling ppl idiots or telling them to "get educated" yet are pathetically wrong. That chick who thought Rome never happened hurt my brain.

A scene from a movie.
I believe the best guess of marine biologists who study Greenland sharks is that they can live up to 450-500 yrs. The Greenland shark has one of the slowest metabolic systems in the entire animal kingdom; they live most of their lives in extremely cold water in near-total darkness, partly bc they live at great ocean depths, and partly bc most Greenland sharks move so slowly (bc of their slow metabolism) that copepod parasites called “ommatokoita elongata” attach themselves to the sharks’ corneas, making the sharks functionally blind for most of their long lives. This does not seriously impair the sharks, however, as scientists do not believe Greenland sharks depend on their sight to locate food. They are actually quite large sharks, growing up to 23 ft long. One of the most intriguing facts about Greenland sharks is that their flesh is toxic to most mammals.
fun fact: this video was recorded on the same day as Invent A Fish 3, also we did this after IAF3 but its uploaded first
I always think that that Coast Footage is just the shadow of the whater wawes lol
Nah it's pretty distinctly shark like, pretty sure its just some Adobe After Effects transparency bullshit tho
It's photoshopped for a mockumentary iirc
@@AVNJ trust me its real i was the shark
I’m pretty sure that the Meg would’ve look more like a Mako shark which is really funny since they use movie depictions
Icthyologists might lie to us, but they'll never be as bad as the ornithologists
Birds aren’t real
@@AVNJ Birds are not real in my reality
Nah. Birds are real. Where do you think bird poop comes from?
Squirrels on the other hand….
@@deadlydingus1138 Bugs are a hoax
@@deadlydingus1138 it's the clouds
4:08 it’s cos there used to be a lesser white shark, but that has been disproved or something so there’s only one White Shark, so there’s not much point in the “great” part, although it might stick around like people still calling Varanus Priscus a Megalania
The song on the cover is most likely a sunken boat that conveniently looks like a shark.
thank you curiosity stream
12:25 that footage is from a documentary from discovery so yea they had a good budget
13:30... "we are equipping them with guns and sonar."
Don't lie, we all know that you are attaching freaking laser beams to their heads!
The existence of the Great White Shark implies the existence of the Mediocre White Shark
I think when they talked about the "Black Death" it might be a basking shark or a sleeper shark just an idea
Do you enjoy when these videos say that you, a scientist, could not believe your eyes when you see this compelling evidence?
Well to be fair he couldn’t believe such nonsense was used as evidence
The terms "White Shark" and "Great White Shark" both represent the same species, formally known as Carcharodon carcharias. Most scientists seem to prefer to use the name White Shark, apparently on the grounds that there is no 'greater' or 'lesser' White Shark, there's just one species: the White Shark.
If those scientists don't mind, or they do mind, I will call the shark the Great White. Normal people will know which shark I mean.
@@Packaroo Agreed, That's what I will always call it.
Oh,I kinda worried people had gone completely insane from twitter and started cancelling sharks but that makes a lot of sense😆
I love the thumbnail and this video already.
Also I wish yall are having a great day.
When will the shark slander end? It's bottlenosed dolphins that are the monsters.
Saw the thumbnail and my brain was like "dead whale or weird rock?"
I’m still disgusted that humans today are still portraying sharks as evil monsters. >:(
As well as trying to prove the existence of Megalodon and failing. 🤦🦈
Like make a movie where a shark is the superhero and the dolphin is the supervillain.
I love the supposed rescue footage from Brazil is very clearly a USCG Jayhawk helicopter.
8:35 also the "shark" doesn't even disturb the substrate
The guy in the corner looks fake, the Meg looks real
What
According to the a study published in 2015, Megalodon's median size is estimated at 10.02 meters as a population, accounting for variations over the Miocene and Pliocene epochs. The paper gives an increase in size with an initial median length of 9.2 meters from the mid Miocene to a median length of 10.29 meters at its extinction in the Pliocene. Ironically it the maximum size limit shrunk slightly over the same time frame from an estimated 17.9 meters to 17.68 meters (Pimiento, C. and Balk, M.A., 2015, 'Body-size trends of the extinct giant shark Carcharocles megalodon: a deep-time perspective on marine apex predators', Paleobiology, June Issue)
Hey Zak, just wondering if the lectures are coming back or if it was a 6 part course. They were great and very interesting
There are plans for more, but they are on hold until after the holidays/finals season.
I will NEVER stop calling it "Great" White Shark... ever.
Me either.
Same. The woke are facists and I will never do anything they demand of me. Notice they also took every single representation of other races off products sold in stores yet left every single white face on products alone. They are fascist racists and evil.
I imagine a inbred shark just going up to a whale and going "Hi WhAle Im GoNnA EaT Ya hehehehheheh"
Before i clicked on the video, i immediately saw the horrible photoshop of a ship's bow, probably a sunken one
I would like your take on deep sea gigantism and how some creatures are able to survive so deep with such massive proportions.
