It’s a really good way of science communication: This idea is fun and exciting but not factual. This on other hand, also fun and exciting, is factual. Coolest part, here is the science that proved both, ain’t that neat?!
If it helps, we're not likely to encounter colossal squid and giant squid often because they don't go to the surface unless they're sick/dying. They're not going to be interested in hunting us. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Megalodons also lived close to the coast, so not only would evidence of its existence turn up on beaches frequently, humans themselves would encounter them directly. Oh, and the most obvious evidence the Meg isn't alive anymore - their fossils stop showing up on the fossil record for the last 3 million years. Before that, you can find their fossils dating back 23 million years, then it just stops around 3 million years ago.

What I’ve always said that if Megalodon weren’t extinct by the 1800s, they would have been killed off. A competitor in whale hunting and a potential threat to whaling vessels (threat real or imagined)? They would have been systematically destroyed.
They would've been really hard to hunt, no ship wouldve been able to keep up with them and a megaladon wouldnt be hunting that near the surface in the first place. I think once technology caught up then yeah we would hunt them to extinction.
@dune1774 This is true, however consider that the reason we were historically able to hunt whales is because they come up for air, travel predictable routes, and have poor mobility. This all makes them able to be easily stalked, hunted and harpooned. To spot a Meg from the bow of a ship as its swimming underwater (or rarely breaching for a split second-kill maybe) would be impossible without modern equipment. Then it dives back down or swims off in another direction instantly, unable to be tracked. Much much faster than a whale can. Also, remember that you would need a big enough ship that the Meg wouldn't pose a threat to you, so you would be stuck with very limited mobility and speed. I could see a good few being killed by dumb luck and desperation (we had cannons after all) but I don't think we could drive them completely exctinct until the invention of radar.

@samwindsor7440 In addition to not being deep sea predators whaling ships didn't need to keep up with whales to hunt them, they just need to get a harpoon in it that's tied to a boat and wait for it to wear itself out or suffer enough blood loss to slow down. A shark could potentially be baited to a spot where it can be ambushed by chumming the water so you wouldn't really need to pursue one, you could make it come to you
Plus, there’s not enough food to sustain a cartilaginous fish that large, aside from being a filter-feeder like sharks of the Whale, Basking, and Megamouth varieties.
the problem for the meg was that its body temperature was higher then the ocean which gave it an advantage in hunting but also costed a lot of energy. when an ice age happened the cost became to much and they died out
“One isn’t hiding out there but we know another one is” mmm how comforting 😐 Edit: do y'all know what an irrational fear is? Obviously, I'm not going to meet a colossal squid but that doesn't mean I can't still be afraid.
Megalodon went extinct because when South and North America connected, it changed the world’s ocean currents. This change led to the extinction of most baleen whales, the megalodon’s food source. Most baleen whales still alive are migratory, too, which may have helped these species survive while others did not.
That is one reason, but afaik there are multiple reasons together causing the Megalodons extinction. Extinction of its main prey is one reason. Change in climate and simply being outperformed by smaller sharks also played an important role. Large predators generally dont work that well in nature unless they can fill in some nieche.
@@skex5208giant predators are always better in nature as long as there's enough food. When the meg went extinct, plankton diversity fell, and most baleen whales also went extinct. During climate change, when food webs are interrupted, those at the top are most prone as they're the most high Calori dependent. The giant predatory whales also went extinct. There were already small sharks BEFORE megaladon, when megaladon went extinct, small predators, who didn't need as many calories, survived. It's the same reason why rats survived while trex did not. It's still weird to say rats outcompeted trex. Theu never filled the same niche.
Little did she know, the megaladons never leave scraps behind. That is the reason why no whales have bite mark's on them, the ones that have been biten never survived in the first place.
@OhDelta9 Those deep sea cameras are able to capture footage with the help of lanterns and other light sources planted nearby. Night vision = better low light visibility, not generating vision from nothing. And attaching a giant lantern to a sperm whale to try to record a giant squid isn't really a good idea with their soccer ball sized eyes letting them see a fully illuminated, 30 ton natural predator barreling at them from several dozen meters away.
@@wildfire4772 I wouldn't be scared of that. They are a classic example of deep sea gigantism so while they might be large it's most likely just to conserve energy rather than actually hunt anything. With their slow metabolism and big fleshy bodies, they are easy prey for Sperm Whales no matter how massive they are. Plus not only do they have no reason to surface, most deep sea organisms can't survive such a drastic change in environment and would likely die if they tried.
I have a friend who legitimately thought it wasn’t impossible that megalodon still survives. Me and my other friend with a masters in biology just shook our heads and tried to convince him otherwise.
Its wouldnt have been able to survive because the whales went through a bottle neck back in 1800s during the whale hunt that they are still recovering from today, so the Megalodons if still not extinct would have run off of prey then. Such massive animal needs a lot of calories a day to survive. Or they would have been forced to change their ways. Also their main reproductive region and babie raising area was the Panama channel but it closed to unite with south america, so the current changed and they did not have breeding grounds anymore.
I'm interested in how a new eco of orcas have been found killing a sperm whale that was in a group of 9! Not a lost old and sick whale either. And these new deep sea orcas have also been seen with bites from cookie cutter sharks which only live in the deep ocean. Interested if the orcas are going down just for the sperm whales or for some other reason!
@@YukiSatagawaorcas are never picking on a colossal because the habitat of the colossal its the deep and cold waters of antarctica its too cold even for orcas thanks to the lack of sun in the deeps
It wasn't just beached whales that showed us that the giant and colossal squid exist, it was the whaling industry. Whalers would find thousands upon thousands of squid beaks in the stomachs of toothed whales, which led to the estimate that there's something like tens of millions of colossal squid just...hiding in the oceans. And we only had a confirmed sighting of a live one recently. This is why I'm thalassophobic.
This vid inspired me to name my future daughter Megalodon and then just call her Meg, so that people think her name is Meg... But she knows, she'll always know 🦈🦈
Their have been scientific discoveries very recently that suggest that the megalodon could have looked and acted more like a mako shark than a great white and rather than being an apex predator it ate smaller prey more often. As the mako does.
@@MrAlepedroza of course they were more robust, they were huge. A shark that big would still be taking down considerable prey but it doesn’t mean that it couldn’t have acted like a greater ancient mako shark taking down smaller power more often and being more streamlined than we thought. Look into the vertebrae that was just found less than a year ago in Mexico if you want to learn more about this theory.
Megalodon and Whales are in fact buddies. Megalodon: BFF forever :) Whales: Those squids have been bullying us, please help. Megalodon: You are on your own, lol.
This is a pretty weird comparison to make. Yes they are both very large marine animals, but they are worlds different from one another. The colossal squid is so elusive, and hard to capture, because they live very deep in the oceans. They are extremely sensitive to any light, and very skittish. Furthermore it's very hard, expensive, time consuming, and dangerous to explore that deep. Most of the time people went to look for them, they probably detected the light from the submersible much before we could see them and swam away. The Megladon was a coastal fish, which evolved along with baleen whales. The Megladon had an exponential growth along with these whales so they could still be hunted. Those theories where people think the Megladon is hiding somewhere in the deep is incredibly ridiculous, and devoid of any logic. The Megladon was not adapted for the deep at all. And besides, the ecosystems very deep down are very harsh. Most of the time very few and far between. Even if the Megladon somehow got to live down there without turning into a pancake. There isn't near enough food for it to be able to sustain itself.
What if the megalodons kill success rate is 100% ? So no scars would be left. And they could be in the unexplored areas of the ocean. Which is supposed to be alot
I now have my answers.... tho i still want to know how the megalodon became extinct... if they are the considered as the greatest predator (according to some), how the hell did they become extinct? Edit: I see. So basically, during the extinction event, many of its food source died….. or maybe, they made a truce with the orcas hehe
Not the greatest predator. That would be orcas. Orcas came along not long before megalodon went extinct. It’s widely agreed upon in the community of shark scientists that orcas hunted them to extinction. I remember reading that though we don’t know how many took down each shark, it would take no more than two of them to take one out. It makes sense, as they’ve perfected their hunting techniques and communicate them with each other. I understood why they’re called the wolves of the ocean.
A certain time where all their large prey dies. Due to the sudden change in earth's weather. Remember we dont have real (whale predators/whale that eats other large fish to become the basis of megalodon food) nowadays most of our whales eats small fish/krill this whales would have started with small food as well might not Be as large when megalodon was still the top predator. Most giants started small and they only become large due to generation and genetics when food is prolific and no on eats them. The orcas descended from dolphins that hunt a bit larger whales for some group and most are piscivors. Which is still smaller vs megalodon.
@@Texan1981it’s not widely agreed upon… The scientists I heard said it was great white sharks eating the Meg’s usual prey. There definitely weren’t orcas hunting megaladons lol
People are really saying "maybe nothing escapes a megalodon". Simply not possible, there are no signs of megalodon being alive, and there are signs of it not being able to live anymore
@@user-fg3fv9hl3byou’re an interesting fella I must say. I know you probably won’t reply but I don’t care. By the nature of the universe, we can’t determine if some things are 100% certain. But we can be very sure that there’s an incredibly high probability that it doesn’t exist. And that’s as good as it gets. There isn’t a single perfect predator on the planet, and there’d be evidence of megaladon attacks with the amount of encounters we have with whales. Fossil records also come to a complete halt up to about 3 million years ago. But, if you want to believe it, go ahead. There’s just overwhelming evidence that it doesn’t exist. The same way you can’t prove many things, doesn’t mean it isn’t safe to say it’s illogical to assume something doesn’t exist
Imagine the megalodons have adapted to the deep sea and have became angler type megalodons that lurk in the darkest depths of the ocean.. Quite the possibility considering the ocean is vastly unexplored..
@@OhDelta9what about it doesn’t make sense? it really is crazy that people believe an animal that went extinct 3 million years ago is still alive today.
I am afraid that whales bitten by a megaladon would not ascend to the surface again, because of that that statement of injuries couldn’t not be true. (Just for record, I AM KIDDING)
Cant tell what is scarier the fact that colossal squids not only exist but they are enormous, or the fact that we only know about them is from the remainder of their encounters with whales.
@@blank_3768right because you know that with 100% certainty, science humper. Ironic how attached people are to their opinions. No signs doesn't mean it doesn't exist still. I have no problem with it existing or not existing, just pointing out the oddity of people being absolutely sure bout that which they cannot know with 100% certainty.

Remember reading a 50 ft squid would leave a 4 inch sucker mark and that 18 inch sucker marks have been recorded
that's terrifying
Where’d you see this I’m curious
Like the crop circles
@@jaredwilliams2357 article from live science and yeah shouldn't always believe the Internet but I assumed Thier reputable
@@wildfire4772 I wouldn't be scared of that. They are a classic example of deep sea gigantism so while they might be large it's most likely just to conserve energy rather than actually hunt anything. With their slow metabolism and big fleshy bodies, they are easy prey for Sperm Whales no matter how massive they are. Plus not only do they have no reason to surface, most deep sea organisms can't survive such a drastic change in environment and would likely die if they tried.
I have a friend who legitimately thought it wasn’t impossible that megalodon still survives. Me and my other friend with a masters in biology just shook our heads and tried to convince him otherwise.
Thank you! I tell this to everyone who thinks the Megalodon still exists.
Who?
Who?
Allow me to introduce myself guys
The day we get to go that deep and capture footage of the Colossal Squid is going to be so cool
“A MEGLADON HUNT HAS STARTED” “A NUKE HAS HIT THE ANCIENT ISLES” “ THE ILLUSIVE AURORA BOREALIS HAS STARTED “
I’m gonna need a underwater pvp video game where its Sperm whales vs Colossal squid.
How about an age of empires style game but with whales vs squids?
@@skex5208 Why not both
A fighting game called “Animal Kingdom” would actually be pretty cool!
Whales are so amazing in so many ways, they can be even scarier than sharks

What if no whales ever survived a Megalodon attack
whales hunt in packs
ah yes the survivalship bias
I feel like if that was the case we’d still find recent medgaldon teeth sheddings at some point
Its wouldnt have been able to survive because the whales went through a bottle neck back in 1800s during the whale hunt that they are still recovering from today, so the Megalodons if still not extinct would have run off of prey then. Such massive animal needs a lot of calories a day to survive. Or they would have been forced to change their ways.
Also their main reproductive region and babie raising area was the Panama channel but it closed to unite with south america, so the current changed and they did not have breeding grounds anymore.
even then theres still lots and lots and lots and lots of other points that prove its extinct
I'm interested in how a new eco of orcas have been found killing a sperm whale that was in a group of 9! Not a lost old and sick whale either. And these new deep sea orcas have also been seen with bites from cookie cutter sharks which only live in the deep ocean. Interested if the orcas are going down just for the sperm whales or for some other reason!
Also attack boats. Lets hope this MFs never develop legs.
Ain’t orcas higher sea level only? Sperm whales reach to the depths idk if orcas would be able to fight any colosal
@@YukiSatagawaorcas are never picking on a colossal because the habitat of the colossal its the deep and cold waters of antarctica its too cold even for orcas thanks to the lack of sun in the deeps
Woah, a group of 362,880 is a LOT of whales
@@howlermonkey9863nine factorial orcas is a lot indeed
Um remember that there’s still 70% of the ocean that hasn’t been explored so we can’t just jump to conclusions quite yet
Why are we still calling it a squid?We all know, it's the legendary beast of the kraken!
Also Megs had fast metabolisms and ran hot so they lived in shallower waters so we would have seen them by now...
not if they see us first...
It wasn't just beached whales that showed us that the giant and colossal squid exist, it was the whaling industry. Whalers would find thousands upon thousands of squid beaks in the stomachs of toothed whales, which led to the estimate that there's something like tens of millions of colossal squid just...hiding in the oceans. And we only had a confirmed sighting of a live one recently.
This is why I'm thalassophobic.
I think we don’t have to worry about Megalodons unless we see Jason Stathom and some explosions happening offshore.
This vid inspired me to name my future daughter Megalodon and then just call her Meg, so that people think her name is Meg... But she knows, she'll always know 🦈🦈
Okay Peter Griffin!
Megatron
shut up meg
Megolodona
😭😭
There aren't enough videos talking about how squid suckers have "teeth" / "claws" can you please do a video on it?
This deserves more views, good job!
this is what a megalodon would want me to think..
Dawg, megalodons couldve been a really professional apex predator that it wont leave a single remains of a whale
Their have been scientific discoveries very recently that suggest that the megalodon could have looked and acted more like a mako shark than a great white and rather than being an apex predator it ate smaller prey more often. As the mako does.
Their teeth and jaws looked nothing like Mako's, they're far more robust, arguably designed to shred much larger prey.
@@MrAlepedroza of course they were more robust, they were huge. A shark that big would still be taking down considerable prey but it doesn’t mean that it couldn’t have acted like a greater ancient mako shark taking down smaller power more often and being more streamlined than we thought. Look into the vertebrae that was just found less than a year ago in Mexico if you want to learn more about this theory.
Exactly why would you go after a whale?
@@yoeyyoey8937Good question. Great whites leave an area when they detect they presence of orcas.
@@christianeaster2776 yes so why would they go after whales?
Of course, the whale was the bay harbor Butcher all along
Megalodon and Whales are in fact buddies.
Megalodon: BFF forever :)
Whales: Those squids have been bullying us, please help.
Megalodon: You are on your own, lol.
These colossal squids are probably down there in Cthulu's temple. Thats why we cant find them.😅
This is a pretty weird comparison to make. Yes they are both very large marine animals, but they are worlds different from one another.
The colossal squid is so elusive, and hard to capture, because they live very deep in the oceans. They are extremely sensitive to any light, and very skittish.
Furthermore it's very hard, expensive, time consuming, and dangerous to explore that deep. Most of the time people went to look for them, they probably detected the light from the submersible much before we could see them and swam away.
The Megladon was a coastal fish, which evolved along with baleen whales. The Megladon had an exponential growth along with these whales so they could still be hunted.
Those theories where people think the Megladon is hiding somewhere in the deep is incredibly ridiculous, and devoid of any logic.
The Megladon was not adapted for the deep at all. And besides, the ecosystems very deep down are very harsh. Most of the time very few and far between. Even if the Megladon somehow got to live down there without turning into a pancake. There isn't near enough food for it to be able to sustain itself.
Exactly! You can go to snowcap and catch a collosal squid at 1000-5000 kg with steady rod, phoenix or other good rods
Also at ancient isles
@@SarcasticBeingYesthats also true
There might be a reason that no whale survives a megladon attack lol
Oh sweetheart...
megladons are extinct
You know, that's still a legitimate reason 😂
You've cooked well on this one
@@blank_3768how you know????
@@momo4044a creature that big? We would’ve found it by now.
What if the megalodons kill success rate is 100% ? So no scars would be left. And they could be in the unexplored areas of the ocean. Which is supposed to be alot
This could just mean that the megalodon has a 100% kill rate and leaves no survivors
Oof imagine trying to poop out a belly full of squid beaks… pretty clear why Moby Dick was so pissy all the time
What if the whales are lying?
Can confirm, my sister lies a lot.
"-80%/85% progress speed"
I now have my answers.... tho i still want to know how the megalodon became extinct... if they are the considered as the greatest predator (according to some), how the hell did they become extinct?
Edit: I see. So basically, during the extinction event, many of its food source died….. or maybe, they made a truce with the orcas hehe
Look up "extinction event"
Not the greatest predator. That would be orcas. Orcas came along not long before megalodon went extinct. It’s widely agreed upon in the community of shark scientists that orcas hunted them to extinction. I remember reading that though we don’t know how many took down each shark, it would take no more than two of them to take one out. It makes sense, as they’ve perfected their hunting techniques and communicate them with each other. I understood why they’re called the wolves of the ocean.
A certain time where all their large prey dies. Due to the sudden change in earth's weather.
Remember we dont have real (whale predators/whale that eats other large fish to become the basis of megalodon food) nowadays most of our whales eats small fish/krill this whales would have started with small food as well might not Be as large when megalodon was still the top predator. Most giants started small and they only become large due to generation and genetics when food is prolific and no on eats them.
The orcas descended from dolphins that hunt a bit larger whales for some group and most are piscivors. Which is still smaller vs megalodon.
@@Texan1981it’s not widely agreed upon…
The scientists I heard said it was great white sharks eating the Meg’s usual prey. There definitely weren’t orcas hunting megaladons lol
@@Texan1981tf bullshit are u talking about lmao. Orcas did not hunt megladons 😂 no scientists have said this

-70 Progress Speed
People are really saying "maybe nothing escapes a megalodon". Simply not possible, there are no signs of megalodon being alive, and there are signs of it not being able to live anymore
Exactly. Not to mention that they woudnt suceed in a hunt everytime, which would leave at least some whales with scars from a past encounter.
No signs doesn't mean it is 100% guaranteed to be extinct, just saying. I have comment reply notifications turned off, enjoy the circlejerk
People just grasp at any straws that could say all je...uhh..scientists lie!
@@user-fg3fv9hl3byou’re an interesting fella I must say. I know you probably won’t reply but I don’t care. By the nature of the universe, we can’t determine if some things are 100% certain. But we can be very sure that there’s an incredibly high probability that it doesn’t exist. And that’s as good as it gets. There isn’t a single perfect predator on the planet, and there’d be evidence of megaladon attacks with the amount of encounters we have with whales. Fossil records also come to a complete halt up to about 3 million years ago. But, if you want to believe it, go ahead. There’s just overwhelming evidence that it doesn’t exist. The same way you can’t prove many things, doesn’t mean it isn’t safe to say it’s illogical to assume something doesn’t exist
I can’t believe that even in 2024 we still have to disprove to people that the Megalodon doesn’t still exist
It's just RUclips content... don't try and rationalise it.
Why don't we attach a camera to the whales?
been tried by nat geo. never saw anything.
This was my first thought as well
@@martinharris5017thank you, that's very interesting to know.
Wonder if there's any fisch players here..
Yes.
Imagine the megalodons have adapted to the deep sea and have became angler type megalodons that lurk in the darkest depths of the ocean.. Quite the possibility considering the ocean is vastly unexplored..
Meg just doesnt let the whales escape like the squid
comment I was looking for hehe
The fact people need to be told megladons are extinct is crazy lol.
This comment makes no sense
@@OhDelta9what about it doesn’t make sense? it really is crazy that people believe an animal that went extinct 3 million years ago is still alive today.

The fun facts are cool and all but the music is just magnificent ✨🕺
I am afraid that whales bitten by a megaladon would not ascend to the surface again, because of that that statement of injuries couldn’t not be true.
(Just for record, I AM KIDDING)
Cant tell what is scarier the fact that colossal squids not only exist but they are enormous, or the fact that we only know about them is from the remainder of their encounters with whales.
What if they are both just down there double teaming colossal squid without friendly fire.
I too can say that megladon is extinct
bravo i guess
🗿
And yet, you can still be wrong...
@@JROD082384no, megladons are extinct. there is no questions about it.
@@blank_3768right because you know that with 100% certainty, science humper. Ironic how attached people are to their opinions. No signs doesn't mean it doesn't exist still. I have no problem with it existing or not existing, just pointing out the oddity of people being absolutely sure bout that which they cannot know with 100% certainty. Opinions are like assholes I guess.
