I don't know what's funnier, the videos where they list REAL animals that aren't scary at all and pretend they're terrifying, or the "caught on camera" ones where all the clips are either 7 pixels or obvious CGI

I want to buy a part of "land" in the ocean and name it the marijuana trench where people need to be super high to enter and i put a bunch of balloon animals in the water and see how many sea monsters that gets created

We all know that David Wellington has some purpose in this place

Technically, you can list anything alive in the sea. They're all scarier than the Megalodon because they actually aren't extinct and could hurt you.

I mean, the threat of getting killed by any of these (excluding Mosasaur and Plesiosaur) is definitely higher than getting killed by an EXTINCT shark, since these are still alive

Actually at the end when you ask why the fish didn't react, the bobbit worm was being fed, you can see when it grabs the fish there is a metal stick that was holding it, and retreats into the water, the video used was a feeding demonstration.

You have no clue how long I've been thinking to post a funny comment but.. I decided to be honest and thank you. You are one of the few people that genuinely make me laugh and motivate me to learn.

Video Idea: Zak looks at the results of a top ten list and has to guess what the list is of. A common theme seems to be a disconnect between title and content, so I think this could be really funny.

So, interestingly about the Greenland shark, if I recall correctly from my admittedly surface level knowledge, it is a more recently discovered species due to it's habitat and low possibility of interaction, but we have discovered bits of polarbear, Caribou, and even dogs inside their stomachs, and diving researchers noted it basically has no fear of humans(again likely due to low interaction rate) and they think it might not be as "chill" a shark as it's slow swimming appearance might make it. But I could be wrong! Or more info could have been learned since I last saw! Also, Wolffish are kinda ugly, but apparently they are very friendly with divers. They are practically tourist attractions and love being pet and rubbing up on divers, and unlike the Moray eel, I don't think the Wolffish has "accidentally" taken off someone's finger. Love the videos! Keep it up!

Honestly, I have never seen wolffish before but they look sooo cute like an old wholesome grandpa that loves to hug (and appearently wolffish love them too)

I am going to ask you a thing: If any shark could only eat seahorses would it be the best shark? Edit:Mom, everyone hates seahorses, just like me

I really like how i found this channel randomly thinking it would be all those types of videos like "rapper reacts to music" and stuff, but nope, i learn something new in all these videos

To be fair to the fish, cone snails can fire venomous harpoons (though Im unsure of the range)

Ooh, do a parasites video dude! There must be some horrifying little beasties in the sea!

When I was a kid I went to the NYC museum of natural history and they had a model of a giant squid and it scares the living shit out of me to this day. I know its harmless, I just cant wrap my head around it.

I honestly like these videos because even though none of these are scarier than the megaladon (except the giant squid in my opinion) I learn about plenty of fish I would’ve never heard of otherwise.

2:00 That's actually a Humboldt Squid! I confirmed this by searching "humboldt squid" on google images and the first result was actually the exact same guys in the video with the exact same squid, which linked to a video with the exact footage used. The funniest thing besides the fact they just used incorrect footage, is that the giant squid (12m/39ft) is WAY bigger than it's humboldt relative (2m/6ft), so if their aim was to prove how "scary" the giant squid was, they actually DOWNPLAYED its huge size. I personally just chalk this up to laziness, similar to when they used footage of an angler fish instead of a fangtooth at 9:53

The fish in the Bobbitt worm part is being held by a cable you can see it being pulled into the sand in the video

Maybe these videos are saying that since the megaladon is extinct then literally any fish is scarier than it 🤔

What are the odds part 3 includes a hamster in miniature scuba gear?

I'll tell ya how the Giant Squid is more scary than the Megalodon: The Giant Squid isn't extinct.

I guess if we're going to be technical the greenland shark is scarier than the megalodon because greenland sharks aren't extinct and therefore have an infinitely larger chance of being able to attack someone, even if only because 1>0.

The way the narrator speaks kills me. reeeed haaaand fiiiish

Interestingly about 90% of Greenland sharks have parasites on their eyes. It makes them loose their sight, but scientists have recently discovered that this actually benefits the shark as the parasite acts like a lure, attracting prey to the shark. The loss of eyesight also doesn’t affect them as much as you might think as they live in such dark conditions.

I love this AVNJ reaction video so that's pretty awesome. Also I wish yall are having a great day.

I'm not quite at the point where I'm being asked to piece together fossils yet but I have helped prep fossils to be pieced together and it definitely seems very difficult to get right.

snailfish look like little fishy ghosts and I love them

Oceanographer: The F does anything have to do with the Mariana Trench?!

I think the scariest part of the megalalodon living at the bottom the of Mariana Trench is that it feeds on the Giant squid and as it eats the squid it squirts a special kind of ink that is white and sticky. This ink then floats to the surface and eventually makes its way to the shores and reefs where sea horses feed on the cum ink and shit out sweet golden sea honey in reef caves.

I'll be honest, if I was brave enough to scuba dive I would definitely be one of those people petting and feeding wolf eels. They're cuties.

"I'm not dealing with crabzilla they didn't teach us that in school." #2 content 2 electric boogaloo

If I remember correctly, that was a parasite on the Greenland Shark's eye I think it turns the shark blind on purpose but I forget why.

This is the (small thing). Although it's not dangerous to humans, (talks about what it is) and thats why it's one of the scariest creatures ever.

A daemon: **shits in the sea** The AVNJ: Oh what a cute little fish

I saw number 1 and I was making guesses. I was like “top 5 guesses? Crown of thorns, isopod, a poisonous tropical fish, great white, or an extinct animal”

To me dolphins are easily the scariest due to them being highly intelligent on top of the fact that they enjoy killing

2:09 that’s a humboldt squid, named after the ocean current they frequent. They are known to be aggressive and will even eat each other if one is caught by fishermen. Local fishermen around the Sea of Cortez call them “red devils.”

that clip of the person with the squid was a humboldt squid, not a giant squid

Channel be like: Behold the elusive seagull

These videos are the highlight of my day

I fear nothing more then cone snail

Seems like the person speaking in the video hes watching got inspired by chills, their pronunciation sounds so funny

Unrelated, but one of the most unfortunate fish in my opinion is the blobfish. When it is in its natural habitat, it looks normal, but most people have only seen the image of one that was pulled out of the ocean too quickly and ended up losing its shape due to the lack of pressure.

Fish scarier than the megalodon: Wolf Fish *shows multiple videos of people hand feeding them*

I'm pretty sure that's a Humboldt squid. It's definitely not a giant or colossal. As for whether they're dangerous. They haven't killed anyone but they have attacked fisherman (understandable) and divers. They are probably strong enough to kill in the water but you also aren't their food source. As far as I know, no human has ever seen a giant or colossal squid at their natural depth except through a remote camera. Of course, when dead or dying they can float to the surface but that's not what's shown.

the goliath groupers *SONIC BLAST* can most definitely knock out a megalodon

The oarfish in an aquarium video was from a whole back if I remember correctly. The oarfish was dying so the people who found it put it in a aquarium to see how it would do(I think they did it because they knew it was going to die anyway.

The only thing scarier than a megalodon would be if sea gulls were the size of the pelicans

Every time i see one of your videos in my feed my day gets 10 times better

Just imagining this guy being in the water with a snail fish and a megalodon and being more scared of the snailfish.

These videos are the equivalent of watching a video titled "15 yugioh cards youve never heard of" and it being 12 minutes of looking at hallmark holiday cards in a walgreens

9:46 "I'm sure the Mosasaur wasn't NUMBER 3, THE FANGTOOTH"

9:25 That shark sent the fish to Brazil

I can’t stand how the guy in the video drags out his words, I don’t know why

Tassled Wobeggong is such a cool and cute fish. I feel insulted by this guy saying its scary and wierd

The squid with the divers was a humboldt squid, they sometimes bite divers and can be aggressive, though i don't remember there being a reported case of them killing someone.

_When reality is so dissappointingly boring that you delude yourself into believing that Kaiju are real..._

6:31 Fair enough. Cone Snails are freaky.

That squid was called a Humboldt squid. They are known to go into feeding frenzies and there are accounts of a diver being dragged about 60 feet below his dive zone by one. They can reach 8 feet and have hard sharp hooks on every sucker of it's tentacles and a large sharp beak that can bite large fish in half easily and could bite through human fingers if too close to it's mouth.

those big squids were humbolt squids. they get pretty big, like 10 feet long, but hardly dangerous

If bobbit worms were any bigger, they’re basically antlions of the sea and I’m glad they’re the current size or we’d have a problem swimming near the floor lol

12:19 the fish looked like it was stuck on a skewer or something. as soon as it gets the fish you see something pull back into the "ground"

Nobody: Handfish: comes on the screen Me: I NEED IT! 😍

I like to call Greenland Sharks, Grandpa Sharks...they look like grandpas to me

Couldn't a deep sea diver welder possibly come across a giant squid? I imagine some of the pipes they work on could possibly reach that depth. I don't know much about either one, but I imagine the divers' suits probably wouldn't taste too good.

So, Mariana trench is essentially a boss location, according to these people.

2:01 You can tell it's not a giant squid because it's not giant.

I'm convinced everyone scared of Hagfish are only scared of them because of SpongeBob, the beginning of Madame Hagfish' episode made her seem evil. (s7 ep15, the curse of the hex)

That squid with the people holding it is a humboldt squid.

That's a Humboldt squid, Dosidicus, with the divers

I love watching your videos before going to sleep; they’re entertaining and enjoyable, but in a way that is relaxing and very chill, like a “just hangin’ out” kinda vibe.

Btw: the guy that is predominately feeding the wolf eel (blue full face diving mask) is Steve Backshall who did a nature show for Children’s TV in the UK called Deadly 60

The handfish looks like mega gengar

I mean… I’d argue an inoperable brain tumor is scarier than big shark.

I'd bet capybaras are chiller than the greenland shark, they'd probably hang out together

Favorite part is “ I’m sure the mosasaur wasn’t - NUMBER THREE.” At least it wasn’t wrong

12:22 The fish is on a little metal thingy. It wasn't even alive 😂

Since he asked (I don't wanna come off as explaining something to someone who already knows) yes that's a parasite on the Greenland sharks eye! They're called Ommatokoita elongata and most Greenland sharks have at least one latched into it's cornea, munching away and blinding it

The red handfish kinda reminds me of the mudskipper

I am losing brain cells from the video shown I am gaining braincells from AVNJ's roasts and commentary

8:16 Your Face, when you realize, that you are on a "Scarier than Megalodon" list.

I wish he does a Bloop vídeo,funny because they first time that him appear is the same where the mighty crabzilla appeara

5:09 naw thats my boi 682 just chilling

2:03 "I don't if that's a giant squid or not", I mean.... we don't know how tall the people are, so it could be giant

Yeah, the joke about the hagfish was a good point

'Is this a common thing where people feed and pet wolf eels?' .. Aww, I wanna feed and pet a wolf eel now. :C

The parasite on the shark´s eye is called ommatokoita elongata

giant squid actually has one confirmed human fatality from the 1940s

I love how the Mosasaur got defeated by a snailfish

I mean this vids are legit everything is scarier than something that doesnt exist anymore

In their defense, they said scary not dangerous. People think tiny spiders are scary and the oarfish litterally inspired tales of sea serpents.

"I'm sure the mosasaur wasnt- Number 3" we'll they've got a point

I just realized that if a Megalodon did exist, military efforts would be used to eradicate it due to how much of a negative impact it would have on the ecosystem. So even if you did argue that the Megalodon exists, it won’t for long, if it hasn’t already been wiped out.

The only scary thing about the greenland shark is their eyelids that recorded the nuclear detonations... and their eyelids still record more, I think theyre neat.

"The giant squid is no exception." He literally starts a paragraph with this sentence. That's a subordinate clause that is not subordinate to anything. It's like I if I walked up to you said, "But it''s no spring chicken," out of nowhere and with no context.

2:28 *laughs in snow sharks*

The parasite is called ommotokoita I think but I know its somthing long and stupid

9:46 I'm sure mosasaur wasn't number 3""

The Mosasaur was the ONLY one I actually thought would be on this list, and undoubtedly the only one that DESERVES to be on this list.
