Why did Megalodon go extinct? - Jack Cooper and Catalina Pimiento

video description

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Dive into the ocean s depths to see how the gigantic megalodon ruled the seas, and find out what caused its extinction. 20 million years ago, the ocean housed a creature so colossal that its stomach could reach volumes of almost 10, 000 liters big enough to fit an entire orca. It was the megalodon, the biggest shark to ever live. So, what was it like when megalodon ruled the seas? And what brought this formidable predator to extinction? Jack Cooper and Catalina Pimiento investigate. Dhruv: Imagine being such a predator that your extinction causes disturbance in the GLOBAL food chain and your prey species MULTIPLY in size and number. Man, what days they must've been! Wandering in the cetacean oceans. I wish they make a hyper realistic 3d vr game about it.

The fact that global warming and phemenon can happen WITHOUT human involvement makes me all the more baffled at how people can think that it wouldn't happen under human habitation of all things. The world shifts and changes, and we definitely made it change a lot. But when I look at prehistoric phenomena and extinction events, it reminds me that nothing really stops the tides from changing drastically

And this is why time travel to the past, if it existed, would prolly be the most profitable business ever. There's just so much in this world already, and so much was there, thrived and died before us. If only we got to see these magnificent creatures along with dinosaurs, and ancestors of rhe current animals with our own eyes, that would be such a wonderful experience.

this is amazing! i never thought about the reason behind megalodon's extinct and here the video gives the answer to me! the animation is super well done as always, but I want to applaud for the word selection that has been used in this video! i enjoy it to the max! amazing job as always

Its biology and global temperature, large animals can't exist or mutate to large animals because their own body heat will boil them alive with the current earth's temperature, also the reason why largest animals in the world exists in the ocean rather than land.

For those wondering who the Danish scientist mentioned in the intro is, he is Nicolas Steno. He did empirical, unbiased research which lead to the development of geology. Ted Ed has a video on him.

Everyone knows that not only is the megalodon not extinct, but Jason Statham battles them daily to keep us safe (as shown in the documentary The Meg. Thank god for his noble actions.

Megalodon has captured people's imagination for years and there's something intriguing about the idea of such a massive and powerful creature still roaming the depths of the ocean.

As someone who's favorite animals are sharks (hence the profile picture, seeing you guys talk about the meg is an unexpected, yet definitly welcome surprise.

2: 24 mermaids are probably small snacks cool animation, always been fascinated by Megalodon and the fantastic creatures that lived million years ago.

If they weren't done in by climate, I am sure one of the worst apex predators would have decimated the species. that predator being man.

How unfortunate for Megalodon to have one of the contributing factors of its extinction basically being a miniature version of itself.

They went extinct due to the changes in water temperature as they survived in warmer water so as time went by the water went cold

I like the Megalodon design for this video, it's so funny & cute looking
Can't wait for the next prehistoric animal related video

Very interesting as usual. Might I ask if it's possible to turn down that distracting background music in future videos though?
reply

How ironic! Just few minutes ago I was searching for some information about Megladon, Then Teded uploaded a video about it
