The Megalodon is an extinct species of shark that lived around 23 to 3. 6 million years ago. It is considered as one of the largest and most powerful predators in vertebrate history. Even though it is considered as an extinct species, some people believe that it might still be living in the deep sea.
If the Megalodon was hiding in the Mariana Trench, it would be an extraordinary discovery, but it's highly unlikely as the trench is the deepest part of the ocean and the pressure and environment at that depth would make it difficult for any organism to survive. Furthermore, The Mariana Trench is a very remote and inaccessible place and there is no scientific evidence or credible reports of the Megalodon being found there.
It is important to remember that scientific evidence and research are the basis for understanding the natural world, and claims of extant megafauna should be considered with a healthy dose of skepticism until they are supported by concrete evidence.

What's funny is that most people aren't aware of just how much Information actually contradicts the majority opinion. The fact that some fossilized teeth date to around 100k years ago to the fact that the Marian trench doesn't just stay in one area. And whilst it may be extremely vast at it's widest of forty miles wide, it ultimately keeps going to make one giant ring of warm water that circles the entire pacific called the ring of fire. And many points exit out to deep warm water areas that intermingle with other oceanic layers that also give much greater opportunity for food. It's theorized that due to the thermoline layer acts as a barrier of cold death. Anything warm blooded would have to stay within certain distance of the volcanic vents and the distance of cold water is too great for anything to break through. Honestly to dismiss the unknown of extremely vast sized sea creatures is ludicrous to some degree

There is so much wrong with this theory.
For one, the megalodon shark lived near the shore, as it was a shark which liked warm waters. The Mariana trench is anything but that. It's cold and dark, conditions the megalodon wouldn't be able to live in under it's normal habits and evolutionary traits. Secondly, there is little to no fish or plant life at the bottom of the Mariana trench, which would be needed for the megalodon to feed off of. It's the same reason they went extinct, a lack of food. For those saying -we've only explored 10% of the ocean-, it's because most of it is vast, meaning there is nothing there. Nothing would want to go anywhere where there's nothing else.

Some people-s in comments says that it is 100% extintic. Because there is no food in mariana trench thats fine but mariana trench is not the only place in the vast ocean where this creatures can hide broo we have discovered giant squaids in 2004 thats almost 18 years now and we still don-t have idea about their biggest size and also very little is know about them. Just imagine we dont gave idea about the creature so which are discovered almost 2 decades ago and we are speaculating that there is no giant creature out there - bruhhh seriously. At the end we only know about 5% of the ocean -

LOL that is literally impossible as the climates the megladon needed to survive was warm tropical waters. The whole reason it went extinct was global cooling where the earth was getting colder and all it-s food started dying out. Why would I suddenly move to the coldest area in the ocean then? Also if it somehow did and went that deep, it would be a lot smaller as not many big things down there to feed it and it would barely even look like a shark. Not to mention, if brought up from those depths, would look like a blob of flesh just like what happens with the blob fish.

imagine the megalodon is really hiding in the deepest part of the mariana trench and the way we remembered its physical features is not the same anymore, it evolved into something we can only see in our imagination, more scarier than before also stronger and even bigger and it really learned to adapt its environment like being able to see clearly in the dark and survive the extreme underwater pressure and the most terrifying part is there are thousands of its species already roaming in the deepest part of the mariana trench without us here on the surface knowing.

I think it-s possible that the Mariana Trench could be way much deeper then we have ever discovered before, and there could be a chance of a megaladon and many other creatures that still live today, maybe a mosasaur could live in the Mariana Trench possibly, it-s a cold blooded reptile so when it comes to food it can survive without eating for a year maybe like a alligator, idk but there-s a possibility that there-s some form of a giant animal or a giant creature lurking beneath the oceans and beneath our sight, just like space it-s a mystery

if a megalodon really were to evolve into something that could survive in the Mariana trench it wouldn't be a megalodon anymore, megalodons are coastal surface sharks, they need tons of food and the water needs to be warm with exposure to the sun, which the Mariana trench doesn't, it's too cold, way to much pressure which is why fish down there have tons of pressure inside of them so they don't explode, so no it's not living in the Mariana trench and it wouldn't be a megalodon at that point

1. The Mariana Trench os so deep down the poor thing wpuld doe because of the pressure.
2. Megalodon was most likely a tropical predator, and the Mariana Trench is really cold so.
3. What is it supposed to eat, plankton? There is barely any life down there so why would a giant shark even go there?
4. If it lived literally anywhere else in the ocean it would get it's ass kicked by much better hunters like the Great White Shark, Orcas and other dolphins, humans, seals etc.

It wouldn-t survive down there unless it starts eating rocks -. And deep sea animals are adapted to the immense pressure, so if they went closer to surface to get more food where the water is warmer, the pressure is less and water is more rich with oxygen, they can experience barotrauma and get serious internal organ damage or even die. You-re usually either deep down there, or not too far from the surface- Sperm whale can dive pretty deep, but still nowhere near Mariana Trench.

I may sound crazy but I do indeed believe there could be one, or a few still living. Over time it could've adapted to not eating as much and not swimming in warm waters. With atleast 95% of the ocean still unexplored, we literally don't know anything. We know more about space, than somewhere on our own planet. So there's a pretty high chance that it could still exist.

If there are hospitable temperature near hydrothermal vents in the trench, then that is where megalodon will be hiding. But if they live in the darkest part of the ocean, it can't be called megalodon anymore because they must have evolved to survive in the environment much different from megalodon used to as we know it.

No a megladon cannot thrive or adapt, the environment then and now was different back in the prehistoric age its different, the warmth then and now, i mean i cannot say it would survive, but there are also many therieos that the amazon also hides many unkown secret, who knows maybe just maybe -

That silly as if there wasn't a Pacific Ocean off the coast of Africa Southern Africa there was tons of sightings of them. They found actual teeth on the coast of North Carolina that were 7- so it wouldn't be in the trench that's just silly there's nothing to eat

First off, why would it even be hiding deep in the Mariana Trench? What's it afraid of? What does it eat down there?
It went extinct. Accept it.
A shark that size (11. 9-16. 4m) would seriously have to be a well known thing since literally the 1900s.

The terrifying megalodon we know? Arguably, we don't know it. We only have a few fossils, mostly of its teeth and jaws. What it really looked like, we can't truly know unless we find one still alive down there. An unlikely possibility.

Not really a shark expert here but if all the evidence they ha e ever found of a megalodon have been the fossilised teeth. Could the megalodon not just have smaller over time and it is still alive but now known as the great white?

The Megalodon cannot be hiding in the trench because they are warm blooded creatures, so they tend to live in warm water, meaning that since the bottom of the Mariana trench is cold, it is not possible for it to live.

So apparently there was a very old video in the marina trench there was a 60 foot greenland or a great white attacking a cage full of food at the bottom of the sea they were recording on the footage they were shocked.

Fun fact: There would have to be millions and millions of megladons because sharks can survive up to 250 years so one megalodon would not survive from dinosaur days up to 2022.

That doesn't even make sense that the megalodon shark would live in the trench if anything it would live in the thousands and thousands and thousands of square miles across the ocean
