A shark that eats dinosaurs?
That's an awfully long way to say "f*cking metal"
Another fact about sharks that is fucking metal: They love heavy metal because the low-frequency vibrations sound like the sounds made by struggling fish.
Or, as tumblr user mlgspacememe worded it, "Sharks love heavy metal because it sounds like their dying prey".
In short, sharks are nature's ultimate badasses.
They still do it. When a shark eats a seagull, it eats a dinosaur
@@ashenen2278 Sharks, been bodying dinosaurs even before the beginning of time
USAGI we all know birds exist beyond the beginning of the universe
@@teathesilkwing7616 obviously
I've lost count of ancient species I've discovered since I've subscribed to you Ben. Your videos have always been informative and insightful. I can't believe you're still very underrated! I hope you reach your million subcribers in the near future!
A very well done Presentation here!
Absolutely shows that unlike the Large Dinosaurs that Sharks always Thrive & Evolve
Sharks have been around for a very long time, before even the dinosaurs and may have been one of the first species of vertebrates that developed jaws with teeth. Yet they may go extinct due human over fishing and hunting. I have a phobia of sharks, yet even I can see that they are essential for the ecosystem of the oceans and want them to thrive.
“Sadly went extinct” 😂 If they weren’t extinct I’m not sure I’d be happy about it
If you think about it, if great whites were extinct we may be saying the same. (10-20 foot highly predatory fish with 1-2 inch razor sharp super serrated teeth that can just end our life in the blink of an eye if it felt like it...)
Think perspective of what we're use to is huge, but suppose it makes sense we look at the brighter sides of death / a long gone scary creature while perhaps overlooking how many animals, for all intents and purposes, can just about as easily take out people
Dman9fp I think that’s what makes it scary, is because greatwhites are the perfect predator but it’s the idea of considerably bigger ones who are far faster is unnerving
You might not be happy but the shark would be
Eh, it doesn't matter. Just stay away from the ocean. It hates you.
@@Dman9fp Great Whites aren't quite as dangerous as people believe. I mean i'm not gonna go and kiss one on the nose, but just cause it's in the water with people doesn't mean it's gonna drag someone under. There's actually a much higher human mortality rate every year from tiger and bull sharks.
Haha, next up you’ll tell me birds are a surviving lineage of dinosaurs!
*_internal screaming_*
Chickasaurus Rex?
Plausible.
Birds are a surviving lineage of-
NANI?!
Hey idiot I have news.... birds aren’t real
Pugasaurus Rex I don’t think a chicken and a t-Rex are even apart of the same lineage
Okay if no one else will say it 4:00 is one of the cutest shark pictures ever. 😍👍
7:35 the shark has cute eyes.
Sharks: The ultimate evolution of predatory killing machine.
Humans: Hold my beer. No , seriously , I need to reel in this shark.

There's a difference between predation and murder.
Darren Bauer you forget the scorpions.
@@a2pabmb2 correct. murder ist the intentional, premeditated killing of human being by another human being. since sharks arent human, no murder.
@@hiddenwoodsben So true.
This channel helped me to pronounce cretoxyrhina
My parents at dinner, “Hey kids, what did you learn today? Brother, that humans have ears! Me, Sharks ate dinosaurs!

Shark: >:(
Turtle: OwO
Just Binge-watched the speculative zoology trilogy, downloaded couple books mentioned, and now watching this video. My heartbeat is up to roof from how scared and excited it made me! Also...can somebody please go with me to the toilet as I am too afraid?? 😭
I'd go with you
Love this genus! Ferocious and plucky both.
I have two C. mantelli teeth in my personal collection, both from the Niobrara Formation.
I have 32 teeth in my collection all from birth
If megalodon meet cretoxyrhina : finally a worthy opponent
It was great learning more about the Ginsu Shark. Funny enough, a fossil of the C. mantelli species is on display my local science museum, so this video made me even happier. Can't wait to learn more during Shark Week.
Based on your title, I’d suggest featuring a dinosaur on the thumbnail
Cretoxhyrhina was as big as a white shark, it was smaller if you look at the marine reptiles that lived in the same environment like mosasaurus and tylosaurus, both of them reaching between 10 to 17 meters in lenght.
Interesting new shark and awesome cutlery
The Western Interior Seaway was basically the African Serengeti underwater. A tough predatory environment where only the toughest survive.
Can you do video on xiphactinus pls
ruclips.net/video/qSBl38rJmlU/видео.html
Sharks are the cops of the ocean.
Yes I was looking for this prehistoric shark
the ginsu shark is like a great white mixed with a mako
I had to rewind because I thought this sharks scientific name was a product placement. My faith in humanity hasn't been lost yet
Cretoxyrhina was an impressive predator and while dangerous to smaller mosasaurs like clidastes or juveniles of any sea reptile species would have been outmatched and prey for really big mosasaurs like Tylosaurus, Hainosaurus, mosasaurus etc. They were more than double it's size. However Injured and crippled animals would have been vulnerable pretty much to any large predatory fish and sharks and vice versa.
Cretoxyrhina could definitely take on an orca.
Cretoxyrhina might have hunted Mosasaurs (small ones), but it ain't gonna to anything to a fully grown Tylosaurus
Cretoxyrhina was one of my son's first words, thanks to Dinosaur Train. Deinosuchus was before that though... :-)
Nice to see something on prehistoric sharks that isn't megalodon this and helicopiron that
I learned about this shark on dinosaur train when I was 8
So ginsu shark what is your diet ginsu: it complicated
4:05 That looks kind of derpy cute
Imagine a Shark of that size breaching next to your boat...
Coming up next: Cretoxyrhina Vs. Spinosaurus.
Imagine him and megalodon meeting up with each other
Who claims that a shark can catch a flying dinosaur ? What we found is me be a corpse floating at sea. no ?
Maybe* if you can’t spell that then don’t comment something like this my dude
Flying dinosaur?
I'm so asleep I heard 'Shark are and amazing class of pokemon'
Yep the ginsu shark is the mosasaurus #1 enemy. The problem is mosasaurus got bigger and killed off the ginsu sharks
Orca: That's cute
it was the size of a great white shark
this thing needs more recognition it its dinosaurs wtf
I thought it is gonna be the Meg
The virgin Megalodon vs the chad Cretoxyrhina
Everyone share this video this a shark that has potencial to be the next MEG or famous it is a great shark
Adult mosos ate them though too.
Nothing in the thumbnail is a dinosaur. No dinosaurs swam in salt water.
Spinosaurus,Suchomimus,Barryonix
@@gonkderheilige6379 salt water?
Cool stuff
There's always a bigger fish in Ocean
But still no Bigfoot fossils?
I always wondered did this one come before megalodon.
Much, much before.
I still find it stunning that sea turtles survived all these terrible predatory monsters.
Sea turtles have survived every fearsome beast, every mass extinction, every shift in the continents, then some weird monkeys started building resorts on their hatching grounds and tangling them in nets. :(
@Drake Petty Granted my use of "every mass extinction" was hyperbole. I thought they dated back further, but you're right. The sea turtles of The Jurassic are not related to extant sea turtles, so that group didn't survive. Thanks.
@Drake Petty I used to collect horseshoe crab shells in Massachusetts and was amazed by them as a kid. Also collected a few whale vertebrae. Now I live in Bangkok and was stunned the first time I saw people eating horseshoe crab. On a happier note, when my parents came to visit I took them to the aquarium and my father was thrilled to see nautiluses. He said he thought he would never have an opportunity to see them in real life.
@@WaterShowsProd not every feaersome beast as you said humans are killing them
I mean some ancient turtles reached up to 5 meters in length which means the predators couldn’t swallow them and actually had to break their 2 inch thick shells. Imagine trying to eat a 2 inch thick bone plate made that’s almost your size. Also they had really sharp and powerful beaks that they would just take chunks of flesh and bone off while you’re trying to get past the shell
Archosaurs: *evolve and diversify*
Sharks: I don’t care my body plan will out live and eat you all
Humans: If I don't outlive You all, I am taking You down with me!
@abstractvalor 🙄
Humans: we destroy the earth
Except for orcas
@@ravenouself4181 I can't agree with you more🤣
Cretoxyrhina is indeed underrated. It deserves more recognition than it has.
The field of prehistoric sharks is always overshadowed by Megalodon. Give the other Chondricthyans of the past some love!
The most popular shark is overratted he dosent eat dinosaurs!
@Saiful Pulau besar How? There's loads of fossils, and I don't think I need to tell you sharks still exist today.
@Lair of Centipedes Don’t talk to him. He’s just another one of our religious brosephs
What does it deserve a public holiday?
Chicken is kind of dinosaur. I eat them several times a week...
That unhealthy
So are bird exterminators just modern day dinosaur hunters?
Jurrasic chicken
@@pugasaurusrex8253 yes
Alex Minto wym? Chicken is good protein my dude, just eat vegetables and carbs with it and youve got good eating.
The Ginsu Shark was also followed by the Steak Knife Shark. But only if you call NOW.
And get a free meg just pay seperate shipping fees ouch
But WAIT... THERE'S MORE!!!

Title: shark eats dinos.
Thumbnail: shark eats marine reptile
It's actully a Monitor Lizard, but the Lifestyle is still Marine
Edit : no i take it back, Marine Reptile included everything in the Sea and is Paraphyletic. Your right
Don't worry the video explains it, they did in fact eat dinosaurs
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
To be fair, Hesperornis would have been food
The title says dinos. One could stretch that into slang for any old and ”terrible” creature.
Everyone always idolizes Megalodon, but in my mind, Cretoxyrhina is way better
They are both a fairy tale
@@Kissamies1 No, Bible has no mention of either them... So they can't be fairytales.
Damn this reply section needs to be cleansed: Shut up about your religious gimmicks and let people be with their beliefs
And just why is there a bunch of religious fanatics watching videos about shit they don’t believe in, just to write a lot of comments whining about how they aren’t real??? Yeh I can’t even imagine someone being that spiteful and with so much time on their hands they would waste it doing that. Lmao get a life
taigatan that man is definitely trolling y’all come on now guys just leave him be
What I find fascinating about sharks is that that they retained their body shape. Like nature said "this is perfect, no need to change"
it is very amazing how us and dinos saw the same predator, sharks are truly incredible.
Moreso scary heheh. Same with crocs
We also experience upon our own bodies, contact with the same water that rained down upon the dinosaurs, the aquatic reptiles, and the environment in which they lived.
Sharks existed even before plants, probably sharks, crocodiles and roaches will stick around on earth for a very very long time
@@spec_wasted they predate trees, but they are not older than plants as a whole.
There are fossils of shark-like chondrichthyans from the Ordovician period, the same time we find fossils of the first _land_ plants, but the oldest commonly accepted shark scale is during the Silurian period.
I wonder how long ago did the earliest 'modern' Shark come into being...? I know Sharks have existed for around ~450 Million years, but those very early examples of 'Sharks' shouldn't really be considered as 'true' Sharks since they share very little similarity to today's Sharks...
when ever I hear about dinosaur eating, sea life I think of that one opening from walking with dinosaurs
When the Liopleurodon eats a Eustreptospondylus?

@@velocipastor676 or a lemon shark.
@@velocipastor676 its literally a joke about their speed possibly being similar.
I appreciate the channel showing the scholarly diagrams (not just art), and how you show the actual evidence for your statements. Lots of channels would skip all the interesting science to dumb it down, so thanks for treating us like adults
BBC used to love portraying Cretoxyrhina as cannon fodder in their prehistoric sea monster documentaries lol
Dino Fishies: "Aight, this ocean is ours now."
Big Boye Sharks: _"no."_
You know that cretoxhyrhina wasn't longer than 5,5 meters, while the average mosasaurid there was between 10 to 17 meters right?
MLG Godzilla uhh he said fishies
MLG Godzilla like ancient fish
There not dinosaurs
The creatures who lived underwater are NOT dinosaurs
today we have sharks that eat anything from fish to small cetaceans and seals
megalodon ate giant cetaceans
Cretoxyrhina ate fish, marine reptiles, dinosaurs and pterosaurs
i feel like sharks in general ate almost whatever creature that existed on earth
Lord Freeza yes
Not so much humans, though. We're not fatty enough for most species and they hate the taste of our blood. Damn Hollywood making sharks seem like mindless predators that are full of bloodlust instead of the impressive and cunning predators that they can be.
But I absolutely agree with your comment. They're one of the most successful species in our history.
@@fawnieee I know they don't eat humans don't worry I meant marine mammals
Not much giant cetaceans around at the time of megalodon.
@@miquelescribanoivars5049 megalodon mainly fed on smaller cetaceans than bigger ones. Its favourite food was Piscobalaena, which resembled modern day minke whales and were small but tasty by whale standards
A dino eating shark that isn't megalodon? This gonn' be good.
So megalodon didn’t exist with the dinosaurs but it did exist with human ancestors
Psst.... megalodon wasn't a dino eating shark because it lived a long time after the Mesozoic
@@LeoTheYuty I mean... if a megalodon ever ate a bird, it would have ate a dinosaur, right?
You still have it. If a hammer shark eats a seagull then a shark catches a dinosaur
megaladon didn't eat dinosaurs, whales yes. Dinosaurs no
We as humans need to make sure these amazing 🦈 don’t become extinct......EVER.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😔
Hey, don't suppose you play Ark:Survival Evolved do you? Lots of speculative zoology etc
Y e s
100% yes
Cretoxyrhina: the unsung shark of the mesozoic.
Reptiles: It is time for us to take over the oceans!
Sharks: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
The slowly changing lineage over time as opposed to branching evolution is an interesting concept. Great vid Ben! Thanks!
This is what always happens, until "slowly changing" becomes "branching"
People like to say things like "The Age of Dinosaurs" and "The Age of Mammals" but the truth is that it's the Age of Sharks, and it has been since the day they first appeared
urm no - during the mezasoic - marine reptiles like Icthiasoars, Plisours and mosasours dominated the seas. Also, after the extinction of the dinosours, giant predatory whales like basilosaurus and levaithan - ruled the sea.
@@indrajeet grammar is freeware, but not open source.
Age of sharks has only been a thing since the Cretaceous, and it took until the Cenozoic for them to actually secure their dominant position (though they did avoid being dethroned by cetaceans).
Sigh, if want to be completely unbiased, and much as I'm a vertebrate lover, we have forever been in the age of invertebrates (make up 95 percent of all animal life). But we don't realize it because animal books, tv shows, etc. focus 95% on vertebrates (fish, reptiles, mammals, amphibians, birds, dinos). Tho imo earth has nearly always been in the age of diversity, since no one or 2 group dominates every ecosystem. We tend to focus on mega faunal groups, but really if account for total biomass, species diversity, etc. less biased criteria, the "less interesting groups" are really in control of the planet (bacteria, fungi, plants, insects, etc. etc.) Not to say we can't have our own preferences :P
indrajeet sharks have survived through all of that though and might even out live us
Yet another reason of my fear of the ocean
A shark that became extinct millions of years ago?
@@Martial-MatBut there's still Great Whites Tiger Sharks, and Bull Sharks. The latter two, esp. the Bull, being well known for attacking humans.
@@Martial-Mat sorry, when did ALL sharks go extinct?
But you can go in a river, lake, streams.
Dixon Bainbridge I don’t think he said all sharks
The reason the Cretoxyrhina died out is for the same exact reason the Megalodon did. As you said, it was competition but not with the adults.
The young of these two species of sharks were very vulnerable towards other predators that evolved into the scene.
As fewer and fewer young survived into adulthood, their species became unable to sustain themselves.
Oooh
Hmm kinda true actually
Great whites out competed megas young causing it to die off.
evidence?
@@julesgosnell9791 hold up, lemme get my time machine so I can prove it.
I love sharks. There's just something really cool about the absolute perfect killing machine being around so long they outlasted the dinosaurs, survived ice ages, pulled through mass extinction events, and went on to keep chomping today.
For some reason, Cretoxyrhina scares me more the Meg. Meg was huge, and hunted huge prey in deep water. But Cretoxytrhina is up to 40 feet (1.5X of modern Great White), and probably hunted in shallows, deep, and likely in fresh water of river estuaries. Everything its size and smaller was potential prey.
Meg hunt deep water is misconceptions
They are hunt surface baleen whales
So now we got a vid on the cretoxyrhina, what about my pal the squalicorax.
shark eats dinosaurs?
Mosasaur: Hold my Beer...
Pliosaurs: no there is another
actually Mosasaurus was only about 20 feet long

Most badass shark ever. Imagine the odds it had to face to survive. It lived alongside giant marine monitor lizards that were twice its size, and with ravenous fish such as Xiphactinus. Plus it ate dinosaurs and pterosaurs for lunch. How cool is that?
I've learned more in Ben G Thomas' Shark Week than in Discovery's Shark Week
Visited the Lawrence Museum in Kansas recently, a bunch of the cretoxyrhina specimens showed in this video are on display there. The painting that the thumbnail uses is also seen there. Very interesting museum showcasing the Mesozoic sea Kansas was a part of, highly recommend.

I was not expecting to see the eye of mordor at the end of that panning shot
Lol
What’s that
Is there a reason why the term "shark" is so commonly used to refer to any cartilaginous fish that's not a ray or a holocephalian? It's the most prominent use of a paraphyletic grouping that I know of, aside from "fish" itself.
What makes it weirder is that all living sharks fit neatly into a crown group in Selachii or Selachimorpha, which appears to have its origins some way into the Mesozoic. Why isn't this the common definition?
(Just to be clear, not referring to Cretoxyrhina itself which is a shark by any definition, just the "sharks have been around for 400 million years" bit that always triggers my nerd radar whenever I hear it.)
Because the vast majority of people (including non-zoologist scientists) need terms to describe things they encounter in their day-to-day lives outside of any pedantic need for monophyletic groupings. Hence we will always have need of biological terms which represent either paraphyletic or polyphyletic grade = fish, shark, amphibian, tree, bush, gamefish, waterfowl, invertebrate, worm, microbe etc.
@@Ozraptor4: do you encounter non-selachian, non-holocephalian, non-batoidian cartilaginous fish in your day-to-day life? I would be rather surprised, given that only one possible dorsal spine is known from within the last 66 million years.
When I was young the first ever type of Shark I had known was Cretoxyrhina mostly due to that pbs kids show called Dinosaur Train and when I first saw a picture or image of a Megalodon I thought to myself "Cretoxyrhina?" And now I see this pop up in my notifications, this Shark has been part of my childhood and I am glad that it's now getting some attention
With this thing, Xiphactinus, and giant mosasaurs all murdering each other, late Cretaceous oceans must've been a terrifying place to be. Mind-numbingly awesome, but still terrifying.
Ah! Walking With Sea Monsters! A classic!
Can you imagine taking a dive millions of years ago? No thanks.
Port Jackson Shark?
That’s an underrated shark
First time I learnt about Cretoxyrhina was when I was around 10 years old when I played the game and watched the movie Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure. Such a good movie.
Oh man. That movie is a treasure to me
The only National Geographic documentary that I'd ever prefer over any BBC Earth..... real emotion, and real good music score
I first learned about Cretoxyrhina about a month ago because it was the focus of a Dinosaur Train episode... and it has the second-worst colour scheme in the show. The only thing worse than purple and green is the tie-dye Allosaurus.
Your Shark Week is waaay better than the one on Discovery. Thanks for the great videos.
It grew to be 26 feet and the mosa was from 33 to 59 feet
Good thing the Chinese weren't around in the Cretaceous or these epic sharks woulda been "finned" and turned into soup just like ALL of today's sharks.
Endangered species: Exists
China: *WE NEED TO EAT IT.*
If they tried that with these they might be extinct
great video, mate
The ginsu shark? Say, could it cut apart a tin can and still be sharp enough to slice bread?
I'd love to see the Chinese try and remove the fins of that!!!
With a chainsaw maybe
