Is The Megalodon Still There?
What we know about this sea monster
Did they really find a Megalodon in the Mariana trench? Reports of Megalodon sightings can be found on many different websites, some of which claim that the creature is still alive. But science tells us that Megalodon sharks are extinct - so could they be lying dormant in the deepest parts of the ocean? Humans are fascinated by sharks - the bigger the shark is, the stronger the pool we feel compelled to learn more about them. people were excited to learn more about it.
Some people think that if Megalodon was still roaming the ocean, someone would have seen it by now. But maybe it doesn't live in the oceans anymore; maybe it lives in the deepest place on Earth--the Mariana Trench. Let's see if the claims we've been hearing are true--but first, click the subscribe button and turn on notifications. You'll be one of the first to watch our new videos. There are lots of skeptics out there who doubt that Megalodon existed at all, but we do know it roamed the seas some 20-25 million years ago.
23 million years ago and we have their fossils to prove it. People first encountered megalonda on teeth they believed to be rocks from the moon, but later naturalists attributed the fossilized teeth to sharks and then to megalodon. Megalodon was the biggest shark to terrorize the ocean, and it is thought to have gone extinct around 2.6 million years ago. The name megalodon means 'big bucks', but in reality it was big tooth - most of the recovered megalodon fossil teeth have been four to five inches in size. However, there are a few enormous teeth that are over seven inches long! Did you know that megalodon's bite was more powerful than a tyrannosaurus rex's? Scientists estimate that megalodon's bite could generate 24 to 40 000 pounds of force - with those stats, we'd like to believe that megalodon could survive anything... However, why do we believe that megalodon could still be around? Has this sort of situation happened before? The answer is yes - the giant squid seemed to be a mythical creature or thought to be extinct for decades, but scientists eventually learned of its existence from bodies that washed ashore.
the marks they'd left on whales
the world finally got a glimpse of the
giant squid in 2006
when japanese researchers caught one on
camera
at 59 feet and weighing nearly a ton
the giant squid is the biggest
invertebrate on earth
that's some calamari so if the giant
squid was hiding from human eyes for
hundreds of years
who's to say that megalodon couldn't be
out there as well
well there are two big factors to
remember if we mean to figure out if a
megalodon shark could still be
alive first let's explore megalodon's
size
do you remember we mentioned that a
megalodon's bite was stronger than a
t-rex's
we tend to think of the tyrannosaurus
rex as a massive creature
but if you put a t-rex next to megalodon
it might give you some perspective
on how big megalodon actually was
megalodons could grow up to 60 feet
three times the size of a t-rex so you'd
know who'd win a fight between these two
if it were in the water if it's on dry
land
i'm betting on the t-rex
now let's travel east all the way to the
mariana islands
if we venture a little beyond them
farther into the pacific ocean
we find the mariana trench the deepest

3 Moments When Reality Accidentally Became a Horror Movie
Horror movies usually rely on a simple agreement with the audience: this could never really happen. Ghosts follow rules, monsters have weaknesses, and there’s always a clear point where reality hands the story over to fiction. Real life, unfortunately, does not care about narrative structure, logic, or closure.

Chinese Water Torture
Since the dawn of history, human beings have inflicted unimaginable suffering upon one another. Across centuries, people have devised increasingly elaborate methods of punishment and coercion, some brutally explicit, others deceptively subtle. While devices such as iron maidens, racks, whips, and wheels relied on visible physical agony, there existed a form of torment whose true power lay not in blood or broken bones, but in patience, repetition, and the slow erosion of the mind. This method came to be known as Chinese water torture.

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.
