The Terrifying True Scale of Megalodon Visualized In 2021, Victor J. Perez, Ronny M. Leder, and Teddy Badaut proposed a method of estimating total length of megalodon from the sum of the tooth crown widths. Using more complete megalodon dentitions, they reconstructed the dental formula and then made comparisons to living sharks. The researchers noted that the 2002 Shimada crown height equations produce wildly varying results for different teeth belonging to the same shark, casting doubt on some of the conclusions of previous studies using that method. Using the largest tooth available to the authors, GHC 6, with a crown width of 13. 3 centimeters (5. 2 in, they estimated a total length between 17. 4 to 24. 2 meters (57 to 79 ft) with a mean of 20. 3 meters (67 ft.

I think Shark Attacks are most likely a completely misrepresented number. The pro-shark promotion has probably exaggerated minimal chance of the attacks. What they aren't taking into account are the non-reported attacks. There are poachers in south africa who will swim in those oceans and they get attacked by sharks but won't report it. Also, I don't think that statistic is taking into account ONLY people who go in the oceans. I think the numbers are including the entire planet's human population and then taking into account only 'official' attacks.

All inaccurates in this vid at 1: 43 he said megalodon is closely related to the great white witch is wrong. Megalodon is in the otadontents not in the same Clade as the great white also megalodon will be more bulky and had a shorter snout and larger tail fin
And number 2 durrning the size comparison he shows a trex skeleton witch is in the upright kangaroo posture proven false in the 1970s and the hands are pronated on it

Wrong! Just because more vending machines killed humans than sharks did, does not mean its more likely that I would get killed by a vending machine. You forgot to take the fact into account how many people are having contact with a vending machine and how many encounter a shark.
But I get it. It sounds amazing (while being wrong) and gets you clicks. This works, because most people are not very intelligent.

reply

It amuses me that vending machines have a warning label that says -Don't rock or tilt this because it will fall on you and kill you. - And then another label that says -Rocking and tilting the vending machine will not dispense free product. - As if people who aren't convinced by the first label would be convinced by the second one.

I have a meg tooth & the thought of how bit its mouth must have been shocking & my meg tooth isn't even a full adult size 1. The tooth i have is 9 1/2 cm with the tip missing, i'm assuming approx 3cm. So if it had the tip it would be about 12cm.
The thought of a mouth full of those sized teeth coming at me is terrifying.

reply

The thing about the vending machine stats is that we encounter vending machines far more often than we encounter sharks. I'd confidently say that almost all americans see a vending machine at least once a year, meanwhile not even a quarter of americans even see the ocean in person once a year

The Meg was main lunch of Livyatan
Meg and GWS & Livyatan and Sprem whale
Comparing them bith gives Livyatan was very stronger than Meg.
Meg means Giant tooth
Meg tooth 18cm and Livyatan tooth 36 cm
It proves the name Megalodon is suitable for Livyatan

reply

Megalodon 15 - 18 metres
Mosasaurus 10 - 17 metres
Livyatan 16 - 17. 5 metres
Spinosaurus 14 - 16 metres
Basilosaurus 18 - 20 metres
Sperm Whale 18 - 20 metres
So no Megalodon is not the most Powerful or the Biggest predator

reply

id bet big money that like half of those -unprovoked- attacks were indeed provoked, though the person may not have realized (eg showing up with a motorboat and being annoying where sharks were just hanging out in their home)
reply

Not only England, but also Scandinavia and the Netherlands both are free from great white sharks, and were free from Megalodon in the past. Evidently, terrible food is a very good defensive line.
(Sorry, I was joking)

Actually the crocodile has the highest bite force of any animal on Earth. It's a myth White Shark has a strong bite force. I don't remember now the numbers but it's about the same as a lion or little more.
reply

Even if Megladon was alive today it would never threaten us since we're not even worth attacking for our sheerly tiny size. What's the use of big Jaws when you're gonna bite a 3% size of your body?
reply

How to kill a megalodon:
British food. Also, vending machines. Maybe some vending machines with british food? Regardless, I'm sure some guns could solve the problem also

reply

Why does it have to be an american male? It-s not like an average american male is diffrent than any other average male like. i don-t know, a norwegian or british?
reply

To me the great white is not the most menacing. It-s the bull shark. It eats practically anything and is almost as big. Tiger sharks are cute tho.
reply

I used to actaully like those kids books where the characters go back and time and see dinos, now I never read them cause of this, thanks: )
reply

4: 17 I am not saying that you are wrong but 95% of the sea is undiscovered so it could be posible that megalodons still is alive
reply

The Miocene oceans had two of the biggest active predators of all time that had epic names along with a bunch of other carnivores.
reply

A M1 Abrams main battle tank weighs close to 70 tons so its definitely more than a megalodon. But we get what youre trying to say.
reply

-yo how did you die? -
-i died from old age, you? -
-i uh-
-i uh died from a vending machine. -
-. you wha--

reply

4: 08 I am from The UK and I am so relieved (idk why) I don't even mind the insult(our food is actually really good btw)
reply

What-s your beef with british food? Our food tastes great, won-t give you heart palpitations like american food.
reply

how are we completely sure that the megaladon doesn't exist today? we haven't even explored a quarter of the ocean yet.
reply

The plucky spike notably love because airbus briefly trot with a harmonious clock. peaceful, enormous nylon
reply

Well, duh a vending machine is more dangerous than a great white
The encounters of one are off the charts
