For more than 10 million years, Megalodon was at the top of its game as the oceans’ apex predator...until 2.6 million years ago, when it went extinct. So, what happened to the largest shark in history?
"Correction: 9:36 This is an image of a humpback whale when it should be a blue whale."

As some of you have pointed out, the size comparison we show at 9:36 features a humpback whale instead of a blue whale. That's my fault! The illustration (from a stock photo site) was improperly labeled and we missed the mistake in our review. We spent so much time making sure we had all of the extinct species depicted accurately that we missed the (enormously) obvious error right in front of us. Sorry for the mistake! -Seth
Very nice to see such a large channel take feedback from it's viewers I've been here since 100k and it's been great seeing you grow so fast your content is very well made
Hey, you are making precedent on how to correct the mistakes. It’s still weird ground for edutainment channels on the internet. Do your best and keep improving the process, you’ll be the examples for those that fallow.
We still love you.
not a big deal, this channel is amazing!
You also sort of forgot to show the Megalodon with a blunt snout. Most people erroneously assume it looked just like a great white but bigger, when it surely would have some morphological distinctions.
we know the megaladon is gone but when i go into the water i still feel its presence
that's your fear of sharks then lmao.
Especially when night swimming in the beach I get this really eerie feeling hehehe
Modern ocean ecosystems, in part, are the way they are as a direct result of Megalodon's presence and extinction, so in a way you literally do feel its presence!
Their souls are still swimming in the ocean

The scariest thing to consider is that it’s not like there was only a few, since it was an entire species of shark, there was likely a number of them ranging from hundreds to near thousands.
Well duh.
@@philbecker4676 yeah, but just imagine not one, not one hundred, but thousands of massive sharks swimming in the oceans
@@HogBurger Not only that, then slowly they are all gone in a span of time due to starvation
I think it would have been way more. There are a billion sharks at the moment, and the shark today is pretty much a top predator now like megalodon was back then. The oceans were teeming with life and so would have supported a potentially huge number of sharks. And if someone replies that we havent found that many skeletons, remember that we only dig on what is now land. We don't exactly go digging in the oceans.
@@abhay4147 that would be worse. The last thing I wanna see is a massive starving shark that is so desperate that everything and anything is on the menu
The amount of people who legit think the Meg is still around despite all evidence against it concerns me.

@@fart63 here me out we terraform mars then move smart people there then we nuke earth till not even bacteria at the bottom of the ocean survive

@@Tunamust3 My brother in Christ, where do you think it's hiding? At the bottom of the ocean? There's nothing for it to eat down there. It'd be hunting big game like whales and what not, which would keep it close to the surface which means we would have seen it by now.

Due to the strong pressure, pure darkness, and low temperatures
It will be hard for the meg to find food sources let alone survive down there.

They would’ve spotted one by now
It definitely went extinct in its original form. However we all know the evolution is real so what if it evolved and adapted into a species that is able to live under strong pressure, darkness and low temperatures ? Maybe also slightly smaller ?
@@its3amagain. You basically don't understand evolution.

Both you and them are people sitting at home on their computers speculating about the ocean.. Neither is of much use.
I discovered that when I am in the ocean, my reactions to a piece of seaweed touching my leg and a Megalodon attacking me are exactly the same.
I only swim in pools; I'm too scared of other water bodies because of the fear of having any water animal attacking me
@@olalekanmayowa4023 I live in Florida. Sometimes there are alligators in our swimming pools.

@A Megalodon With Internet Connection
I swim in the ocean at New Smyrna Beach, shark bite capital of the world.
The best time would be in March when the shark migration occurs and there are 10s of thousands of sharks, many right up to the shore. You can hardly avoiding bumping into them. They show up about the same time as the tasty young college girls in thong bikinis for spring break. I am not sure it is a coincidence.
Bigger sharks come there to eat the smaller ones, and that makes for an interesting show when a 12-15 foot hammerhead runs a few 5 foot blacktips up onto the beach, right between your feet. Exciting!
When I'm not there, I swim at Blue Springs State Park. DeLeon Springs is another great place. Both are crystal clear natural springs in the St. John's river. The water temperature is the same year 'round, and these are the springs reportedly called "The Fountain of Youth" by Spanish explorer Ponce DeLeon.
The St. John's river has, reportedly, the highest concentration of alligators in the world. It is connected to the ocean and they occasionally catch bull sharks in the river. Can you handle that? People like it because if you don't get eaten by an alligator, you will feel 10 years younger after swimming there. If you do get eaten...well, you won't be getting any older. Hence the name.
I'm old, I have little to lose anyway.
Take your choice.
Of course there is the whole intercoastal waterway thing that runs the entire perimeter of the state between the mainland and the barrier islands, and has people swimming and BOTH sharks and alligators!
@A Megalodon With Internet Connection lmao
Hmm sounds like something a megalodon would say
Had me rolling on the floor 😂😂😂

I always assumed that megaladons evolved into great whites because we know certain animals, like crocodiles, used to be ginormous.
I definitely learned a lot of new stuff! I also feel like even if they still existed, we wouldn't have to worry too much because sharks don't like the taste of humans, and we would be too small to satisfy their appetite
Crocodiles can still get ginormous
@trequor ya like 20+ feet but the prehistoric ones were 30-40ft
@@TheGintama86deinosuchus hatcheris latest estimate puts it at 50 some times😭
We still eat appetizers 😖
the number of annual crocodile attacks is about 1k, whereas in 2022, there were _57_ shark attacks globally. so honestly we *DONT* have to worry nowadays either, the chances of being bitten by _any_ shark species is so slim it’s silly to suggest otherwise

"Why Megalodon (Definitely) Went Extinct"
Because it was over-fished by Hollywood studios in order to
figure in disaster movies.
yet another child star lost do to Hollywood
So basically I had a big pool in my school, and it was about 10 feet deep. It started at 3 feet deep, then 5 feet and finally 10 feet. Swimming to the 10 feet end of the pool always scared me, I couldn’t see the bottom of the pool so it felt like there was a huge shark coming my way… dam bro that was scary
If it helps, often when you can't see something well, your brain will fit the space in for you. Example: when something moves in your far side view, you can see a person, while it's just clothing that fell of a clothing rack. Or shapes in the dark. It's not actually there if you look closer 😁😁
@@irissupercoolsy I believe megalodon is the reason that dolphins are smaller but more muscular than whales megalodon could not satisfy its hunger by eating dolphins and would probably get injured if it rammed into dolphin's stomach because dolphins have super hard defined abs plus dolphins can overpower megalodon with tail muscles

Tarcisio Neves Why would we be long gone? I think humans are more likely to ruin the planet and move to a new one then go extinct before the rest of our planets animals. Humans are pretty darn adaptable. Sharks in the other hand are so hard to keep alive that we generally can’t even keep them in captivity very successfully except for a few species. That’s why you don’t see tanks full of great white sharks at the zoo, they usually just die in captivity.

The amount of studying and work and investigation to have this clear a story of this ancient creature, out of what fossils and evidence exists today, is mindboggling.
90% of it is based on assumption and pure guess work based on perilously few data points in the fossil record, and more pure assumption based on climate models that are 100% wrong even today. Nice story; but in 100 years it will be completely different, and totally different again in another century. We need to feel we know things, but we don’t. Assumption on assumption on assumption baed upon almost no real data, whose interpretation is itself based on assumptions. You don’t get larger to eat larger prey, that’s NOT how Darwinian evolution works, which is all based on random genetic defects, not a perceived opportunity. Adaptation is NOT what evolution claims happens, as there is ZERO evidence that need or environmental factors proactively influence the creation of supposedly random genetic mutations. epigenetics will eventually re-write evolutionary theory, demonstrating that adaptation to environmental factors can effect DNA and become hereditary( DARWIN WAS WRONG) and the 96% of DNA that is not considered “genes”’ that many biologists ignorantly call “irrelevant” and “noise” will be revealed to be the driving forces in evolution and Darwinian theory can finally be thrown onto the scrap heap where it belongs. The irony is that scientists, so desperate to defeat creationism, forgot about science and missed what was staring them in the face for so long. They were so emotionally wed to a position, in spite of the dearth of data and logic, it became their own religion. Hopefully that will end soon.
@@cbrend22 bro you just typed out pure nonsense.
@@cbrend22 ok
that's nuts.. they extinct because we killed them. you see these predators including Dinosaurs etc were the biggest threat for our mankind extinction. Therefore we as you know 'human' had no choice but to eliminate every single one of them.
