Why Megalodon (Definitely) Went Extinct

5 років томуCheck out our podcast Eons: Mysteries of Deep Time: ow.ly/2J4450Iu69U
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

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.

@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!

Fact checking this video: The largest megalodon tooth available to authors in 2021 was GHC6,which produced size estimates for the shark going from 17.4 to 24.2m. The range had a mean of around 20.3m. But, the authors themselves mention there are many teeth larger than GHC6 around the world, so now you can just imagine Megalodon's size... A lot of people think Megalodon was some made up fantasy like Godzilla or Optimus, but this just shows you what nature can emanate...

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.

@cbrend22 2 роки тому
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.
