I always love the "it looked like a great white but it was too big to be one" lines when they come up, I wonder if that's how an alien would describe seeing a pro basketball player or an abnormally large man walk by, "it looked like a human, but it was way too tall to be a human!"

You’d think that if the megalodon were a coastal shark, and still exists, we’d have WAY more sightings and photos.

You should watch “Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives”

3:17 I like how this implies that there's at least one Greenland Shark out there that suffers from PTSD after seeing the atomic bombs falling off.

I don't get any of the claims people make about The Meg. It's just a white shark but bigger and blacker? It's blood thirsty? It lives in places where it couldn't survive? It evolved to live where they couldn't survive, which makes it not a Meg anymore, but the Meg exists?

The video of the shark in the pond is of a White Shark in Massachusetts. It was taken by a shark enthusiast in Massachusetts a while back and it’s called Great White Shark in Massachusetts Pond on KZfaq. It made the news, but it was just a confused lil guy who was stuck, but eventually made its way out

Rather than focusing on trying to "rediscover" or find a extinct species of shark why dont they make videos on why we need to save our current living species

im not into fishes/water animals that much but i just absolutely love how this guy is so passionate about it and how much he knows it’s so entertaining! ive been talking about him/his channel so much to my friends too and spitting out the random facts i learn from him😮‍💨

"Do they realise how viscous water is?" I think actually science and physics is the fathest thing from their mind lmao

One thing I never understand about the conspiracy theorists claims that people are hiding stuff is just simply “why?” What good does hiding most of what they theorise about even do?

Hell yeah you got a sponsor! One step closer to that basement aquarium.

For the US Americans: 60m is 200 feet. You know, twice as long as a FRIGGIN´ BLUE WHALE

AVNJ's community is so loyal that he can post a video and get 120 likes in 7 minutes. Anyways love you man keep pumping out the good content.

i don’t know if you’ve done this.. but it would be funny for you to create a “megaladon/fake animal bingo card” where you watch these videos and see if you can get bingo… for example you could have a space that says “ Mariana Trench” and if they mentioned it in the video, you cross off the square!

conspiracy theory: megalodons are alive, ichthyologist hide it from us me: if they hide it from us how do YOU know it?

I have full respect for AVNJ, his sarcasm, sense of humour and the pure amount of knowledge that he has, but he referred to Jason Statham as Vin Diesel in this video and I'm not sure if I can forgive that

I saw a guy walking in the woods but couldn’t see them quite well… it must have been Bigfoot

to have a surviving population of an animal species you need at least 25 or so individuals, however to have a healthy population you will need over a thousand also side note: a study was conducted on where megladon sharks would have lived, and it showed they could survive in 1 degree water (Celsius) but preferred 20 degree water

Fun Fact: In german we say "Weißer Hai", which means "White Shark". I always wondered why in english they have the "Great" prefix there. Second Fun Fact: The movie Jaws is called "Der Weiße Hai" (The White Shark) xD

Megalodon can't be alive with David Welington out there

10:50 That’s the Swim-Swim shark, which is a very misleading name as, the Swim-Swim doesn’t actually swim, it jet propulses across the water at such high speeds, and is around the size of the Meg.

I like how the guy in the video trusts random viewers who aren't even experts about the facts

The great white shark was called that because the whitetip shark was originally called the white shark (and later called the lesser white shark), but since the whitetip shark isn't called that anymore and hasn't been for a very long time, the great in "great white shark" is redundant.

Don’t forget it is a crabzilla trap, so 60m is totally accurate for that shark

The Canada shark is a Salmon shark, 99% sure, so not even as big as a great white let alone an extinct meg

i always keep open to the idea but i don't believe in any of this evidence because it's hilariously fake

You earned a subscriber right here I could listen to you all day good stuff mate

I've been on a binge watch of your videos I like your content alot very entertaining

YOOOOOO A SPONSOR? Wow I’m so proud

the day we will admit that the meg exists will be april 1st.

This vid is from the first stream I ever watched live. I was waiting for it to come out

Another good, educational vid 😊

Shark: *exists KZfaq guy: *MEGALODON*

I love how several of these "sea" videos have clips of Silfra in them... you know, a glacial runoff filled fissure in inland Iceland.

We can't see the shark and have no clear way of identifying it so we can't say for certain what type of shark it is. So it must be a Megalodon-

That was the slickest sponsor read I've heard in a long time - kudos

I think the first shark that you called " Greenland shark" was actually a white shark that got caught in a small pool in Massachusetts about 10 years ago. I remember the video.

This man has sparked my special interest as a 🌸neurodivergent🌸 in sharks and I love him

We have salmon sharks here in BC Canada as well as the occasional "great white" shark. We are also keeping our large community of Megaladon sharks that live in south surrey a secret

It said the "massive shark" over the normal-sized crab trap was 60 meters. That's nearly 200 feet. The largest blue whale ever measured was 110 feet. He meant 60 feet

Conspiracy people always fail to state why someone would hid that? It's so dumb. Lol

Thanks for the educational videos about fish and stuff,keep up with the videos

I just found you like as I’m typing this and I love what you do like proving stuff to everyone and try to direct people not to go to those videos because l, fake, I support you

7:21 Even thought my knowledge of sharks is shit i can debunk every megalodon is real video cause that stuff is like denying common sense

the videos he watches are just hey look its a shark lets just zoooooom in a bit and OH MY GOD ITS SO HUGE IT MUST BE A MEGALODON

The first clip is of a pacific sleeper shark which you are right that it’s size is greatly exaggerated but it’s still a massive shark. The low end estimate by Eugene Clark was 7m(23ft), however some people estimate it could have been around the 10m(33ft) range. I hate how people use this footage of a rare and amazing shark as proof for megladon. Sleeper sharks and Greenland sharks are fascinating, but hardly touched upon and need more attention.

thank you curiosity stream

u give me mrballen vibes, total facts, ur awesome 👍

The reason scientist called "Great White Shark", "White shark" is because there is no lesser or greater white shark since both is same species. On the other hand, there is movement that try or want to change the name "Great White Shark" to simply "Great Shark" because there is the word white.

I love his videos so much they're so entertaining

Icthyologists might lie to us, but they'll never be as bad as the ornithologists

I love how the title states they are recent sightseeings but these are all old fakes 😂

this is the second one of your reaction videos where i’ve seen the video show the great blue hole while referencing the Mariana trench 😂

Love seeing Mr. Ballen in your recommended videos on the side 😂

"In Reality we have them gunned to fight the Russians" Mom, I knew I wasn't crazy! Zak just confirmed it... What you say Mom? He's joking? But Zak Would NEVER do that!

My Dad was a Marine Biologist....your views are the same as his (he had more "f'ing idiots" sprinkled in...lol). He was the Chief of our state's Fish & Game Department...he knew his fishies! lol....you rock

Me and my friend talked about how if the Meg was alive (it’s not and we agree on that) it would have to be a smaller sub-species of the Meg that evolved to be smaller, but even that’s also highly unlikely

This is the first time ever commenting on a video I love you videos keep up the great work

Hearing fairy tales from locals about the “black demon” reminds me of the time when creationists tried to look for a dinosaur that was supposedly in the Congo jungle, they went to an “isolated village”, and I think when the researchers asked about dinosaurs someone said they saw them on TV.

I always think that that Coast Footage is just the shadow of the whater wawes lol

AVNJ, there is a cool 30-second long video of a great white swimming on it's back, it is really cool.

Oh my god my brother and I lost our shit at “that’s like a human standing still like this and just _advancing_ forward”

"TOP TEN MEGALODON SIGHTINGS (NOT FAKE) (NOT WHITE SHARKS)" AVNJ: 🌚no

5:54 me when my mom angrily yells my first, middle, and last name.

I wonder why it wouldn't make sense to assume, obviously not counting the obvious sensationalism, that if you see something that looks like a great white, but it is larger than a usual great white, that it might, and bear with me on this, MIGHT just be a freakishly large great white?

For why Great Whites are no longer called "Great": From what I can find online, the "Great" was added because another shark was also called white shark, which in turn became the "Lesser White Shark". Lesser White Shark is no longer used, so the great white has literally no need for the "Great" in its name.

Oh wow I just noticed this video was posted on my birthday.

I’m still disgusted that humans today are still portraying sharks as evil monsters. >:( As well as trying to prove the existence of Megalodon and failing. 🤦🦈

I think when they talked about the "Black Death" it might be a basking shark or a sleeper shark just an idea

video chillin

You said “parthenogenesis” and I nearly spit out my beer, LOL!

zak knows his fish

I would like your take on deep sea gigantism and how some creatures are able to survive so deep with such massive proportions.

And I hit the subscribe button as he talks about shark eyelids

Zak is a genius, he uses the clickbait from the video he's reacting to to clickbait us

3:15 the part about shark eyelids showings the results of the atomic bombs is crazy.

I vaguely remember an animal planet game where one team was Great Whites and the other was seals

Ok I may be wrong, but at 8.30, not only do we not have a size for the machinery as reference.... But the fin moves past so fast that IF it were the size claimed the shark would be moving at comedic speeds right??

Will always be the GREAT white shark! All Hail Shark.

"Great white" sounds cooler than just "white shark"

The seal got yeeted

Hey Zak, just wondering if the lectures are coming back or if it was a 6 part course. They were great and very interesting

IMAO I LOVE HOW HE SAID "SMART PIZZA"

Saw the thumbnail and my brain was like "dead whale or weird rock?"

The song on the cover is most likely a sunken boat that conveniently looks like a shark.

I love the thumbnail and this video already. Also I wish yall are having a great day.

WOW!!!! IM ACTUALLY [Partially E4rly]!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Great white” sounds like a goose stepping shark.

in the mariana trench they found a frilled shark that was actually decently big. wait til these “fact” shows go off about a moderately big shark found near/in the mariana trench…

It was me, i am the Megalodon

I love the supposed rescue footage from Brazil is very clearly a USCG Jayhawk helicopter.

12:25 that footage is from a documentary from discovery so yea they had a good budget

New video from Megalodon Channel just dropped

finally a smart person

4:18 I think it's because scientists know there's no greater or lesser white shark so they just call it the white shark instead of the great white shark. I literally looked it up tho so...

The megalodon return

I believe that "frilled shark" in the beginning is actually a bluntnose sixgill shark.

The reason the "great" is being removed is because the oceanic white tip used to be called the white shark as well. Being bigger, the great white got the great while the oceanic became the lesser white shark. But since the oceanic isn't called the lesser white shark anymore (or at least not much) the great is being removed cause that's just how naming works in science. Can't have a great white if there isn't a lesser white.

According to the a study published in 2015, Megalodon's median size is estimated at 10.02 meters as a population, accounting for variations over the Miocene and Pliocene epochs. The paper gives an increase in size with an initial median length of 9.2 meters from the mid Miocene to a median length of 10.29 meters at its extinction in the Pliocene. Ironically it the maximum size limit shrunk slightly over the same time frame from an estimated 17.9 meters to 17.68 meters (Pimiento, C. and Balk, M.A., 2015, 'Body-size trends of the extinct giant shark Carcharocles megalodon: a deep-time perspective on marine apex predators', Paleobiology, June Issue)
