The Megalodon, A Prehistoric Giant Shark That Ruled the Seven Seas
Jason Statham’s 2018 movie may be a work of fiction, but there is a real-life monster behind The Meg: the 60-foot-long prehistoric sea creature known as the Megalodon. The movie paints the shark-like monster as something that still lives in the ocean, but this apex predator likely died out millions and millions of years ago – or did it?

Considering that much of the ocean that is still unexplored, it is possible the Megalodon still exists…

Having a Weird History pop!
Drinking Big Red with a Twizzler straw*†…while watching this Weird History video!
* Inspired by the Weird History Food video "Stories About Your Favorite Halloween Candy"
† I put the big red soda in a glass and used the orange Twizzler (from the rainbow Twizzlers) as a straw.

I found a broken meg tooth and even though it’s broken, it’s still over 5 inches and if it wasn’t broken I estimate it would be 6 inches.
Reality is so much scarier than fiction when it comes to the Megalodon.

I think some form of the Megs jaws/possible bite imprint, could be fossilized somewhere underneath the ocean.

The deep sea megalodon theory ignores the reality that it would have to adapt to the extreme pressures, temperatures and lack of good eating down there. Even with deep sea thermal vents and giant/colossal squids being down there, as The Meg books and movies implies. Sperm whales use sonar because no eye on earth can see in pitch black, the very concept of eyes is it uses light. And if it had to stay near thermal vents to stay warm, how is it gonna chase after the fast moving squids that don't need to do so?
It would have to significantly evolve to live down there and become something less that what a megalodon was.

Just putting this out there, megalodon and some other prehistoric sea creatures were definitely fierce but in my opinion, modern orcas of today's world would be able to take down any sea creature or pod of sea creatures in history lol. A pod of orcas I think would fuck a megalodon up just bc they are so smart and know exactly where to pin point a shark to kill it quick.. I just think they are to smart and no other sea creatures through out the world's history would stand a chance against a pod of them. Maybe if it was one on one bc some prehistoric creatures were just massive but with a pod, prcas are unbeatable

Cooler temperatures encourage larger bodies. Ice age animals were bigger to handle the cold easier (polar bears are biggest for this reason). Warming world would kill off lots of Megs prey options as well as the giant predatory whales. Pretty much no chance this monster is around anymore.

The Meg was never a shark. The only reason people want to believe this is being scared by them. It's most likely a whale on steroids.

At my primary school we had a picture of the 5 guys standing in the jaws of the shark with a tooth found at a local Aboriginal coastal shell midden. The Aboriginal Australians are the oldest living culture that we know of and we can date there culture from about 40,000-75,000 years, so either the Aboriginal Australians are a lot older than we think or megalodon lived a lot longer than we think.
