Hello everybody! I'm beyond grateful for all the support I've been shown up until now. I mainly took my time on this video because Otodus megalodon is a personal favorite of mine and I wanted to make sure all the information I presented here was as up to date and accurate as possible. Furthermore, a lot of what went into the making of this video will help speed up the production of the next couple of projects, allowing me to upload more consistently. Lastly, I will be launching the Patreon later this year, and will give more information as to what to expect . With that all said and done, I hope you guys enjoy today's video! Let me know what your favorite fact was in the comment below and if you learned something new today. :D

I want to point out that there was no evidence found which would suggest Livyatan was a social animal. In fact it was more likely that they were solitary like modern sperm whales. Also Megalodon did not possess a greater bite force than Livayatan. Livyatan's teeth and jaws were more capable for delivering a more devastating crushing bite. A study suggested that today's Orcas bite force is 6 to 8 times greater than that of a great white shark.
@bkjeong43023 жыл бұрын
The idea orcas use tonic immobility against great whites is debatable due to this being seen in only one instance: in the other (relatively few) cases of orcas killing great whites, the attacks were not observed, or the orcas never used this tactic. So there is no basis for Livyatan using this strategy. It should also be noted that orcas are much larger than great white sharks, and that cetaceans generally need a major size advantage at the individual level to kill or even badly injure a shark, something Livyatan doesn’t have here.

@Godz We don't know if Livy had echolocation, but it is a fair guess, we don't even know if it looked like a sperm whale or not. As for size, Meg outclassed it heavily, with current size estimates placing them at 20m, and that's not even for a max sized individual, whereas Livy is 13-17 meters. As for weight, Meg would have outweighed it by a factor of x2 or more. A 20m Meg is pushing 100 tons. Unless more is know about Livy, it was severly outclassed by the Meg, which showed since Meg outlived it by what? 10 million years or so?

I like how you mentioned that megalodon during a time of climate change was in the midst of competition for role of apex predator as Carcarodon was coming on the scene. The great white and those of similar clades were likely more mobile, able to reproduce quicker and definitely needed less food, being smaller. marine mammals probably could escape megalodon more easily than they could smaller sharks. I think there was not just one major cause of their passing. A whole slew of changes around 40 - 3.5 MYA

@@quinion5535 The Prehistoric Kingdom team has been upping the quality of the game's art assets; apparently updating the aforementioned animals would've taken the same amount of effort as creating whole new creatures, so the team decided it would be more worthwhile to replace them with species they considered more unique and/or interesting. Their argument seams reasonable, though I personally would have kept Nothronychus and instead cut Torvosaurus, Argentinosaurus, or even Acrocanthosaurus. And for the record, *none* of the replacement species have been confirmed. I think people might be reading a little too hard into what were likely meant to be placeholder images (if not deliberate red herrings). I'm particularly adamant that Deinocheirus will not be Nothronychus' replacement for a number of reasons.

the battle of livyaten and megalodon all depends on who is where. if big boi shak is below, it is in a favorable position. megalodan most likely preffered an attack from below, like whites. however, in a head on head, it woudnt be unreasonable to bet your lifes savings on the battle cachalot. itd probably be an even fight, so they likely participated in niche partitioning or simply lived in different parts of the ocean. maybe livyaten preyed primarily on sharks? maybe it hunted in colder waters than megalodon.
@bkjeong43024 жыл бұрын
The two coexisted. Also it’s not true that great whites rely on a vertical sneak attack-they most often come in at a more diagonal angle, and are capable of extended tail chases if necessary. Also note that cetaceans haven’t been recorded killing sharks their own mass (even in groups), though with Livyatan being far more formidable than any living cetacean this might not be a good comparison.

A Paelientolagist in the USA has found many fossilised bones belonging to large whales, including the humpback. His findings suggest that the reason for density of the Megalodons teeth is because of the sheer force of impact during the first attack by the shark. This must have been quite late in the Megalodons existence, I'm guessing, because of the whale species. Anyway, this shark must have been the most serious and formidable creature ever 👍
