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

we know the megaladon is gone but when i go into the water i still feel its presence

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.

It’s crazy when you think that at one point in time the last megladon was swimming being the only one left of its kind.

"Sand tigers, goblins, threshers, and great whites." Sharks get the most metal names.

This lady deserves a medal just for pronouncing all of those fancy names correctly.

The amount of people who legit think the Meg is still around despite all evidence against it concerns me.

Megalodons actually sound so scary, like imagine seeing an 18m long shadow just pass beneath you in the water..

Megalodon: goes extinct

I find it interesting that whales grew AFTER the Megaladon went extinct. My assumption would have been that whales growing bigger and therefore less consumable (through micro/macro evolution and natural selection) would be the factor that put pressure on the Megaladons.

Hmm sounds like something a megalodon would say
Zyloa (14 hours ago)
When you swim with a blue whale then it smiles with megalodon teeth.

I swear if I see one more comment denying that they went extinct and their first argument is "Well, we have only explored 5% of our oceans so we don't know what's in the other 95%" imma flip the table.

Pour out a little liquor for my homie Megalodon. Gone but not forgotten.

I kinda feel sorry for Piscobalaena. It got bullied by all the sharks
