Megalodon tooth in comparison to a great white shark tooth Snack time for a megalodon. It was only that big because it preyed on even bigger marine animals of the time. While great white sharks have been predicted to be able to bite down with a force of 18,216N. Easily big enough to swallow two whole humans at once.

Despite its impressive size, it remained unknown until 1976. But, while it may be true that Megalodon lives in the upper part of the water column over the Mariana Trench, it probably has no reason to hide in its depths.

There was a documentary on it on Animal Planet.It is a very real possibility for sure. Sister subreddits: r/hypotheticalscenarioLooks like you're using new Reddit on an old browser.

We are also finding many species of animals that we thought were extinct! Being that something like 90% of the ocean is unexplored I would say it's quite possible but not in the way your article presents.

Only arguments from ignorance.

For instance, people constantly peddle the "x percent of the ocean is explored" as support for Megalodon. With recent discoveries like the giant squid,it shows that there can be creatures we thought didnt exist,actually exist.I'd say it possible, the population of it would have to be small though, otherwise we'd see them.New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be castPress J to jump to the feed. Megamouth Sharks live in deep water and only surface at night, so if Megalodon had similar behaviors, it could still be alive. The population of large whales is far smaller, thanks to industrial whaling, than what is was during Megalodon’s time. One of the reasons is because it is vertically migratory, meaning it only comes anywhere near the surface at night.

This pretty much means they could eat whatever the hell they wanted.Well probably not anymore, but with more people landing on the moon, than have been to the bottom of the mariana trench, there’s allways a chance.Plus they weren’t really a deep sea kinda shark. I think the megalodon is both fascinating and terrifying.

umans have been measured with a bite force of around 1,317N.

It's definitely not alive in the deep oceans, despite what the Discovery Channel has said in the past,' notes Emma.

We know more about outer space and have explored outer space more than our oceans. Here’s what I’ve got.Some comparisons, to get an idea of how deep the mariana trench is.With 276 teeth and a jaw that spanned 2.7 by 3.4 metres.

"See how ridiculous that sounds? Only arguments from ignorance.

Like all other sharks, he wouldn't even like the taste of peopleI'm not sure I would have the courage to even be on a cruise ship if Megalodons still existed today.

In the daytime, it dives down to 500 feet or deeper.The Megamouth Shark remained hidden for so long simply because it dove to 500 feet for most of the day.

It presented both arguments in a pretty fair way that unfortunately you don't see too often in crypto news.Only thing I'd like to add is that the article claims it's unlikely for Megalodon to have survived and evolved all the adaptations it requires, but 64 million years is a hell of a long time to evolve.Basically, there is no compelling, non-anecdotal evidence for Megalodon still existing today at all.
Could megalodon be having a cheeky giant squid for tea? Anything that big would need an incredible amount of food.

Probably a megalodon wouldn't mess with us, for the same reasons.
