i have a cat, but since i am also not a marine biologist, i can't say for certain he isn't actually a megalodon.

I ate a PB&J sandwich like a week ago, but since I'm not a marine biologist I cannot say for certain I wasn't almost lured to my death by a hyper sapient megalodon that has turned the tables on human fishing techniques.

Its been said that the creature was far bigger than any recorded specimen. So it very well could be

A few months back I saw what appeared to be an Asian elephant, but it was large and gray with big teeth, and I’m no marine biologist, so for all I know it could be a *M e g a l o d o n*

Guys, I need to know who to call about this! There was this giant creature that ran under the couch; it looked like a giant mouse, but I swear, it has to be the megalodon! Who do I call to help remove a megalodon from my home?

I'm pretty sure someone did something like that with the monsters drawn on the seas of old maps

I have more trust in the third hand accounts of medieval monks retelling the retelling of what a fisherman 15 years ago claimed he saw than I have in Megalodon videos on the internet, so that would definitely be a plus on their part

The average medieval knight’s retelling of what they saw at sea is probably more trustworthy than any of these videos

Too much effort

"In this book, written in ancient Arabic at 1230 BCE, the person writing it said they saw a slightly above average shark. It must be the megalodon!!!"

Sad thing is im sure all 260 likes here know you’re joking but there’s some adults in this world that wouldn’t pick up what you’re laying down here in this comment

They would actually think because the title is that they must believe it’s true

I agree with this comment

Yep

If this channel hadn't done unironic "megalodon sighting" videos before, I would say it was an obvious parody.

They like big sharks and they cannot lie.

The chomper

@@cewla3348large chewer

Humongous food hauler

but here's the cruncher

@@PeachDragon_ especially when you consider that it was a *coastal* shark, so we'd surely have run into it by now

Given lot of cray fishing in Australia and NZ is done by diving, I'd be skipping any spot I'd seen a great white hanging about. Even a small one. And Australia has plenty of white sharks

Or they just can't count and the perspective made it look much bigger

It's Australia, that had to have been the megalodon. If it lives now a days, it would live in Australia just like everything else.

To be fair, the full story claims that they were accustomed to seeing 20 feet Great Whites and they were never scared of those, but this one "was something far larger." But that of course doesn't mean it's anything more than a hearsay. A little bit of credibility, if you could call it that, is given by the fact, that it apparently happened during the peak of the season and they were loosing quite a lot of money by refusing to go fishing, so the argument that they were just lazy and didn't want to work for a few days is a little weak. An interesting part of the story is also that they claim the shark to be pale white with a hint of sickly yellow and have large shining/reflective eyes, which is interesting. Firstly, it is distinctly different from Great White, Basking, Whale and any other shark it could have been mistaken for. And secondly, it would suggest a deep sea creature, which is how the Meg is often described. So there is something to think about, of course supposing the story is true in the first place.

​@@FolgoreCZThe meg was never a deep sea animal, it lived in shallow, warm waters. It would never survive in the deep ocean not only because of the pressure and lack of food, but also the temperature would kill it.

she think this some cartoon💀

Lmaooo. No points of megalodon being extinct make sense. 1. The earth didn’t get colder 2m years ago. The ice age is 1m years-11k yrs ago. Which would make more sense for the megalodons death as it’s supposedly 2m-3m years ago A’s extinction 2. Great white sharks have been around nearly 400 m years. Why tf would megalodons and whites co-exist 398 m years, then randomly drop dead 3. I get it, no fresh teeth? Each megalodon had just below 300 teeth. Near their extinction there was a population of roughly 770k meaning that’s around 28m teeth. I doubt that many are found, leaving out the possibility of fresher ones being found, as there was a large range of time where there was large megalodon populations. ALSO, salt water breaks shi down faster.

I had a similar experience with a guy trying to claim that South Georgia Island was the petrified eyeball of a sea titan so large, that South America was its wing.

ik that dude he made a necklace out of the tooth right?

@@xx_ayu_xx3018 tbh all I know about him is from that book but that sounds likely so hell yeah!

I had the shark book from the discovery store in my local mall, from like 1999 lol listed all the known sharks and was such an awesome book. I dive now, didnt become a marine biologist but I get in the water.

Now if only you also encountered Crabzilla... then... THEN!!! That'd be worthy of a sea shanty or two!

Can confirm am megaloddon flatmate, I still exist. Fish WOULD pay the bills if you sold em like I tell you to, I'm a giant shark man Noone will buy them from me.

Gee I wonder why

Well, you can believe in it Just not in it being alive

@@KkawaiiPotato it was... A joke

I had a similar experience with a larger than average Guitarfish (probably a Bowmouth).

Barracuda were enough to reconsider swimming off the beach one particular time on holiday

Pictures can just never really prepare you for the real size of animal because like even if you have a grasp on like it's length in meters and shit it's a totally different thing when you're there and it's actually a real live and moving animal that reacts to its surroundings.

Yea, and here’s a fisherman making up excuses to get a day off

Not to mention a shark that's injured

thats why stuff like this is so dangerous. imagine a child growing up and never having this realisation or learning to accept counter evidence. its gonna make a mess of some of these future adults and really stunt potential science education :(

I remember being that age and reading the comments on the videos, a lot of preteens were genuinely convinced that mermaids and megalodons WERE out there. A lot of people don’t know how to learn about animals, and I wish that these channels would actually make knowledge accessible rather than misinform people.

I had that feeling for cryptids in general as a kid, but at this point where they still arent found I just keep watching for the fun of it cause I like the idea of Bigfoot

Elementary School me would look at that Basking Shark and have a full-blown panic attack. I used to be deathly afraid of the thing. I knew it was harmless, but it was the mouth that freaked me out. Looked to me like an undead husk than a living shark.

Dude i saw one in the movie Meg. They’re just under the Mariana Trench

@grumpyrock2717 And adding to that, there’s the book series the movie is based on, so, yep, totally undeniable proof.

It kinda goes for everything, like last year I visited a railway museum and I knew a lot about the locomotives but the biggest one was still shockingly huge even though it wasn't necessarily all that big for a steam locomotive. Turns out 2D photos and videos don't accurately convey how big something feels when you see it with your own 3D vision and can go up to it and touch it.

sea honney is probably just some joke that the comment section made up

Ok, what the fuck is "sea honey"?

@@Judgement_Kazzy how do you not know?

@@Judgement_KazzyA group of people were DMing Zach about how to acquire something called “sea honey” from various sources related to in-jokes from his channel. There was nothing about “sea honey” online at the time, so this group of people in question must’ve made it up specifically to bother AVNJ.

Sea honey is more of a joke than a conspiracy

I mean it seems totally plausible that a bunch of marine biology students would be excited to see a huge basking shark, I mean that's the marine biology right and it's right there.
