i love how whenever the guy says 'according to scientists' it cycles through five different stock clips of people in fake lab coats looking at whiteboards
@@manhadenovo Reminds me of when I worked in a lab. Someone was taking pictures of my colleagues for the company website and told them to "look busy", so one of them was just awkwardly holding a wash bottle next to the fume hood. He may even have worn a lab coat even though we only used them for very special occasions.
@@RJJR-uy8hl Compulsory education has been around for a hundred years. Everyone who is currently alive, idiots included, received an education, so if education is the way to combat ignorance, it clearly isn't working.
"You know, dragons are well known to feast on deer, so if you see a deer carcass in the woods, it could be the leftover of a dragon, therefore dragons exist."
I have a guilty pleasure: It's called watching experts loose their minds over nonsense claimed by idiots - it both saves me the effort and assures me the world isn't entirely filled with 'empty barrels'. It really is just that they are the ones who 'make most noise'.
To OP. Well, if you condone the people who make the most noise rest assure they can and will cause a lot of suffering. Too many people laughed off anti-vaxers, flat-earthers and hordes of fools spreading utter nonsense. Now they're so many some people consider them legitimate. Ignore these ignoramuses and their crap and one day you will be wading in their sh*t. " It really is just that they are the ones who 'make most noise'." I hope you're right. But there more you talk to people in general the more you'll realize a worrying amount of them are quite willing to believe anything - especially if it sounds good or exciting - and if something is presented in a "thrilling" fashion. "nonsense claimed by idiots" I'd have no issues with that if these idiots had a few thousand viewers. Unfortunately they have *millions* of viewers. And that is something deeply worrying. It means a LOT of people actually believe them.
"If the Megalodon is truly extinct, how is it that we keep finding so many teeth?" Gee, I wonder why all the dinosaurs left their bones behind when they went extinct
Well in the newer movies, Godzilla does Feed on radiation. That means hes probably Up There as well. I mean it hasnt been definitively proven otherwise.
It was like when you tell a cat not to knock something off the shelf and it stares you down while its paw slides the object closer and closer to the edge. "Don't you do it. Don't. Don't do it. No."
*”if the megalodon is extinct why do we keep finding teeth”* god i sure wonder why dinosaurs left all of their bones behind, you would think they would want to pack up, huh?
@Wolfgal900 Boop Exactly! This is what pisses me off. If the Megalodon isn't extinct, then apparently there's lots of food in the ocean and we definitely don't need to worry about other, comparatively smaller sharks going extinct. And we definitely don't need to listen to all these silly marine biologists. I mean, if they think the Megalodon went extinct, then why should we trust them when they claim other marine life is going extinct...? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess we don't have to worry about over fishing and habitat destruction and the desperate warnings from so called "experts." How convenient...🤔
@Wolfgal900 Boop nah, megalodon doesn’t eat small fish, it would eat other mammals like whales and dolphins and probably squid, the fish population would be fine
i might be salty but i cannot stand when people talk about animals the way you do, implying that theyre "just fish" and such. It makes total sense for him to get this annoyed cause this is his job, his passion. had to say it, go on and call me extra lol im just so tired of this
@@cindin3802 wait, so you are telling me that it might me microorganisms in melted iron, several thousands of degrees (I mean °C incase you think I mean fahrenheit) high?
On the point of water having no scale, when I was a kid I loved Mola mola fishes, thinking they were quite small. Now having seen humans next to them I realize how truly big they actually are-
I always love seeing videos where a diver will be chilling and they can see the shadow of what looks like a small animal, and all of a sudden a really curious whale appears. Or some massive jelly fish
Yea theyre huge!!! Ive seen a few prety close up while out commercial fishing b4 in gulf of Maine!? Theyre quite odd!? On calmer days out in ocean u can spot them easier!? If u see a fin on surface thats flopping back and forth its probably a mola mola basking in the sun at surface!!
well, we better get ready to see some t rex and raptors too once we find that meg, if the meg adapted to the depth of the ocean and became vegetarian who could stop the others dino to do the same right? 😂
I don't really agree with scientist flawed way of testing fossil age but it likely died Thousands of years ago when gigantism Was very common with large prey to feast on so people saying it's surviving on bioluminescent Jellyfish and tadpoles in the Mariana trench is Bullshit
No, he's just been losing and re-growing his teeth, putting on a trench coat and hat and then selling them to tourist shops and living off that revenue
Actually, maybe land would be better. Times died to Mariana Trench: Pressure murdering you: 1 No food: 2 Too cold: 3 Times died on land: Asphyxiation: 1 Can’t catch food: 2 Then again, there’s possibly more stuff I’m not thinking of
The “how is it that so many teeth are being discovered if the Meg is genuinely extinct?” killed me. Wait till this dude hears about how many dinosaur fossils we have found
Also like, if the megalodon didn't go extinct and "go into hiding" in the deepest depths of the ocean... Wouldn't that mean it must have evolved into a different species entirely to adapt to such a place?? Therefore the megalodon is extinct regardless lmao
The ultimate hiding place would be either Venus or the Mariana Trench Reason why: hardly anybody looks there and if anybody came looking for you then their body would implode because the pressure there is around 50x more than what we usually experience also because nobody thinks you will be there because the hiding spots are almost a desolate wasteland with nothing in it
Pick any subject theres bound to be someone who wants to challenge decades if not centuries of scientific research based on provable facts mainly because someone told him "My cousin's brother's best friend's hairdresser saw it"
"It looks like a ladybug, it acts like a ladybug an it has the appearance of a ladybug, so it must be the Meg." Is the most accurate description off all the videos arguments.
Well that is kind of a shitty argument though lol just regurgitating what his professor probably taught in class doesn't mean that the majority of the ocean is dead space.
@@-.__.447 Ah, your truly verbose answer has shaken me dear sir, so eloquently worded I can't help but reevalute my long standing opinion thanks to your reply which can only be described, as nothing short of poetry
The Gospel: JESUS died for our sins on the cross, HE shed HIS holy, innocent , precious blood for us (HIS blood washes away ALL sins) HE was buried but on the third day GOD raised HIM from the dead. All you have to do to be saved is: Believe in JESUS, trust in HIS blood. JESUS did everything for you, no works are required for salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9)!!
imagine if someone does say that after going to jail for pushing someone off of a cliff and going "but sir the gravity was in on it therefore it should also be arrested"
Don't you doughnuts really understand what he meant with that? Being officially defined as "Extinct" by humans doesn't mean there are no species of that animal left, it means they haven't been seen by humans for a certain time.
the funniest thing about the whole "adapting to a new enviroment" is that if it did so over a very long period of time, that is called evolution and it's no longer a megalodon?
As an Aussie with a love for Great Whites as soon as that last fact came up I laughed out loud! 😂 what an entertaining video, I’m sorry you were subjected to such insanity AVNJ!
And how tunnel visioned people can be. Facts is that there have not been found any megalodon teets og never date and that is enough for "experts" to say that it is extinct. Some years ago a whale species that was though to be extinct for the same reasons was found dead on a beach. The ocean is wast and it is IMPOSSIBLE to have eyes every where. Now I am not saying that the megalodon is absolutely alive out there. BUT I am saying that if a whale species who needs to surface in order to breath can stat hidden from humans for millions og years then it is definitely possible that the megalodon can do the same. Granted I don't think it is alive myself. But I won't deny the possiblelity that it could like this guy does. How can you studie any forms of life and not be open to the possiblelity og some prehistoric lifeform still being around today? I think it is a very unprofesional way to do your job. If you want to peove that something is extinct then show some proof and don't use the fossil records as proof, since they only show the past and in this case not the present.
@@Rasendebolge there is a vast difference between a whale, a constantly migrating filter feeder that can absolutely travel deep under water for extended periods, and an equally large PREDATOR that lives exclusively in the shallowest parts of the ocean and would have a diet that would consist almost entirely of whales that it would literary tear in half. The vastly lower oxygen levels on earth now compared to when the Megalodon lived would make it impossible for creatures with gigantism, like the Meg, to sustain a stable breeding population. Also, the only way they could even feed themselves properly is to migrate alongside whales. We have tracked literally hundreds of whale pod migration routes and found absolutely no verifiable signs of predation by a predator of that size, so if they are that rare, then even if they did somehow survive everything else until now, then they absolutely do not have a sustainable breeding population and will be extinct in a few decades either way. No, this is not something that you can pretend has room for debate. The Megalodon is extinct
@@eatherjourneyman8357 that is some good facts and as I also wrote I personally don't think it is alive today. But another fact is that er have NOWHERE to know if it is alive today or not because of evolution. I know that from our LIMETED knowledge of the past which is mostly guesswork about sea levels we think the megalodon lived in coastal waters which I hope it did. And therefore it shouldn't be able to live in deep ses water do to as you commented lak og oxigyn in the water and water pressure. But there is STILL a possiblelity that it could have evolved or maybe allways lived in deep sea water. No humans where even alive back then to dokument the megalodon or the sea back then. And that is why I say that there is a possiblelity and we shouldn't get tunnel visioned and say that it is definitely instinc. And there are many shark species that are migratory (is that spelled correcly?) to some decree so maybe the megalodon was too. I think you have some really good points to why the neg shouldn't be able to be alive today. What you said about the lak af oxygen in the deep waters makes really good sence but we can't just say for sure until we find a way to watch every where in the ocean at the same time I think. I totally respect if you disagree with me but I need more concrete proof before I say that the megalodon is instinc 100% I hope it is since I personally wouldn't like to be out ind the open ocean if it was alive today. Have a very nice day.
Fun fact: The picture taken in 1942 is next to the U-27 which was used during the second world war in the South Africa U-Boat Campaign, and it was a 65 meter long vessel, that "Megalodon" was about 10 meters away from the U-Boat, so we can take that to account. the shark looks like the size of the entire front of the U-Boat, so if we were going off just that, the shark would be about 21.6 meter shark, which would be impressive, but when taking the distance into account, you get a more accurate measurement of two and a half meters, or about seven feet, the reason it looks much larger is because the U-27s front was abnormally small, taking up only about a third of the length.
No, no. He's absolutely right about the Mariana Trench being a great hiding place. I mean, who would ever look for a Megalodon where it doesn't have food, can't deal with the pressure and freezes to death. No one, right? I'm sure that the Bond villain of Megalodons has built a little mansion down there, never to be found by "rational, well educated thinkers" like you.
mariana trench is the worst hiding place for megalodon, its extinct for 2million years and people have explored mariana trench multiple times. If there was megalodon in it we would know by now due to people exploring it. I wont stop u beliving in what u do, hopes have meanings but I'll say it doesnt exist ( it would be cool if they existed tho )
I believe that there's one single remaining surviving Megalodon that's been living in the Mariana Trench eating snailfish for 65 million years and waiting for a stray torpedo to wake him up and free him so he could terrorize coastal cities and fishing boats full of grizzled fishermen and shark hunters
I like to imagine the megalodon isn’t extinct just because a massive shark swimming around sounds cool. They’re definitely extinct, but a man can dream.
Yeah but we've only been to 5% of the oceans on Earth so the other 95% could have other bizarre creatures lol Edit: Bruh I didn't mention anything about my opinion of the Megalodon being real, I should've known that commenting on RU-vid was risky
Specifically it's the Great Blue Hole in Belize. Y'know.... close to the shore in the Atlantic Ocean. The wrong ocean from the deep sea Pacific Mariana Trench
ngl watching him shake his head and nearly bang his headphones when he heard "vegan" and "megalodon" in the same sentence, was about the cutest and funniest thing ill see today
Or literally to just question everything and try to only acknowledge things put out by people who dedicate their lives to make discoveries for the topic
"Maybe the megalodon is a vegan now" literally after saying it probably lives in the deep, an area known to be literally sunless and impossible for photosynthesis.
@@arcturus4762 That would be cool to see in an animal that lives in a polluted region. Like a fish adapting to consume and live off of all the oil and plastic in the ocean. Chernobyl already has the animals that live there slowly getting more radiation resistant over generations.
Honestly I hope we do find a descendant of the Megalodon in the Marianna’s trench and it’s just an evolutionary dead end like the freaking sloth. “Guys we found a foot long shark that swims one inch per year with the smallest brain to body ratio in the animal kingdom, but it’s technically related to the Megalodon.”
Sharks we have today are related to the mealodon. Meglodons are likely members of the family otodontidae which are also in order lamiformes (current members are mako and sand tiger sharks)
How do you conclude the sloth is an evolutionary dead end? They literally exist. Which makes your comment ridiculous. Nothing that is extant can be considered an "evolutionary dead end". Things that are extant are literally the opposite of what an "evolutionary dead end" would be.
@@themonsterbaby sloths are just the brain-dead children of bears and monkeys. And what sucks is that they used to be cool and bigger than your mom, but they are now stupid and never going to evolve making them a dead-end evolution wise
This crocodile is so big, this spider can capture it's prey with it's webs, it must be a sign that the megalodon exists! Genius! I can't believe I'm the smartest man in my town.
"Hey guys, that animal looks like a tiger, acts like a tiger, it has strips in its skin like a tiger, eats animals like a tiger BUT it's definitely a zebra."
While extinction is the end, with sufficient DNA and a compatible surrogate, cloning extinct creatures, is theoretically possible, however it only really works for recently extinct species as finding preserved cells to be used in cloning would be unlikely for something that died off millions of years ago.
Well i hope we somehow manage cloning off old animals, starting with the dodo cuz he is the most important. Then maybe the taskanian devil and if possible dinosaurs cuz i wana see dinosaurs yeet each other like in jurassic world evolution and maybe just some other animals but ye dodos
Sperm whales, who can literally destroy whaling vessels: “no” Edit: Also yes a pod of sperm whales would wreck the ever loving crap out of a meg if they ever met. Hell even a lone sperm whale could probably fight off a meg if it spotted it coming.
