But what about Crabzilla? Much of the ocean is unexplored. Plus there’s renown Crabszilla footage out there. You just have to believe to see it.

Megalodon didnt go extinct. They fled to the Mariana trench after losing the war against their greatest nemesis, the mighty sea cucumber

Notice how throughout history there has been literally ZERO mention of a colossal shark beast but there IS mention of the Giant and Colossal Squid?

"The ocean is big" "ur mom is bigger" This is the scientific discourse I come to this channel for.

My 12-year-old nephew wants to become a shark biologist because of the megalodon. Initially to prove its existence, but post seeing video like this one, (mostly from AVJN) he wants to become one even more so to help stop the spread of misinformation instead of trying to prove miss-information

The real Megalodons were the friends we made along the way.

The "Could have Evolved into" arguement runs into the issue of Megalodon still being extinct, as evolving into a different species, means it's not Megalodon anymore, anyways. Megamouth is also a animal that rarely comes to the surface during the day. And once we knew to look, we've seen it several times.

some guy in the chat: "the megalodon still exists but its just the bones" me: I mean, you are not wrong

I’m sorry brother. You may be a qualified Fish Biologist with years dedicated in the field, but i’m going to trust the random Top10 narrator who is using shitty artwork or a photoshopped image as evidence.

"The ocean is big" AVNJ: "but ur mom is bigger" ahh yes the content i subscribed for LMAO

If Trey have taught me everything, it's that every mysterious creature is either a decomposed basking shark or a barn owl.

The Meg is extinct…but the Sea Cucumber isn’t. Remember when the Sea Cucumber was rated as a scary sea monster??

AVNJ: Makes an entire video dedicated to explaining in great detail every reason why the idea of a sixty foot costal mega shark that regularly preyed on the largest vertebrates known to man still existing is completely impossible. Top10 Channels: *I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that.*

They went extinct because crabzilla ate them all duh.

This must feel like how an astronomer feels likes trying to argue with a flat earther. You can disprove as much as you want but there will always come another uninformed argument which either shows poor education or that they didnt listen at all.

"it may have evolved into a smaller shark" WELL THAN IT AIN'T A MEGALODON ANYMORE. DOES THE EXISTENCE OF CHICKENS PROVE THAT THE T-REX AREN'T EXTINCT?!?

Idk man, you missed out on my favorite theory that Megalodons built a huge underwater civilization (better known as the lost city of Atlantis) and that 3 million years ago they invented space travel and now live on the far side of the moon (which is constantly hidden from us due to the moon being tidally locked)

... It makes me sad to know that people are still trying to push for the existence of megalodon. It always boils down to one thing for me: what would a giant shark like this be eating? There's not enough food to sustain it. Or multiple members of said species. Edit: LMAO. Your replies are all very entertaining.

Here is another reason for Bermuda Triangle: The reason the Bermuda Triangle has a lot of conspiracy theory's about how ships that go through it will not make it out is because of the big amount of ships that go through it for international trade so therefor, its not just because of how deep the Bermuda Triangle it is also that if that many ships go through it, it would have most likely been found by sailors already.

As someone who loves the ocean, I greatly appreciate the scientific approach to this. Do you think you could do some videos on REAL marine life that SEEM fake? That would be super interesting! :D

It’s absurd that anyone can think they’re still around. We would have extensive proof if they were still alive.

Your eternal battle against megalodon "theories" is very entertaining to watch.

AVJN: *exists* Megalodon: “Am I a joke to you?” AVJN: “no, but the people who think you exist are”

Only 0.000000000000001% of the observable universe is explored, there must be a Meg out there somewhere

You just made sure that no one youtube ever makes another "Top 10 reasons why the megalodon is not extinct" video. Thanks.

Bro the meg is real it lives in my aquarium everyone says it is a goldfish but they deep inside know it is a meg 😔✨

Also on the coelocanth: Much like with crocodile relatives, there was a much greater diersity of them before going mostly exinct, with stuff like rebellatrix and mawsonia being very different to modern coelocanths.

If meg evolved into a smaller shark, then it wouldn't be a meg. It would be like saying Equus Caballus is the same as Eohippus. The size and body structure from evolution makes them two different species

" _The ocean Is barely explored_ " *The optical fiber that we install throughout the sea to provide a better internet service:* Let's say that we only need 25% of the blue holes and the Mariana Tre ... Ah, no wait, that's what the scientists were doing.

16:50 AOT betrayal music “I’m the Megalodon Titan, and he’s the Crabzilla Titan.”

Keep in mind Meg was a coastal specialist (with adults living along the continental shelf, pups and juveniles living along the coastlines), so going unnoticed for the entirety of human history after their fossil record drops off about 3.6 mya is impossible, plus there’s verifiable fossil evidence that baleen whales got larger AFTER the extinction of Otodus megalodon (plus the macroraptorial sperm whales like Livyatan but they disappeared roughly 6 mya at the end of the Miocene), partly due to (direct and indirect) competition and predation from orcas, plus competition with juveniles from great white sharks in coastal areas that were Meg nurseries, as well as climactic changes that occurred as the Pliocene chugged onward towards the glacial cycles of the Pleistocene

Maybe the real Megalodon was the friends we made along the way.

Another major one for the first aspect is if megalodon evolved into a smaller shark, depending on how derived it became. *It wouldn't be megalodon*

I know absolutely nothing about biology, dodged every bio course in high school, and nothing about fish, am in an entirely unrelated field (disability support work), but this? This is my favourite channel.

People in the chat "The Megalodon actually evolved into Crabzilla." I'M DYING

'The ocean is big' and 'the ocean is barely explored' are the same 'reason'. Both can be demolished by the simple fact that 'lack of evidence is not proof of existence'. Yes, the ocean is big. How does that prove that the megalodon still exists? It doesn't.

AVNJ: Will you please listen? I'm not the Messiah people who've tired of Megaladon belivers: HE IS THE MESSIAH!

You have no idea how much I was hoping for another Megalodon video from this channel. They are like balm for my soul. I *despise* the "Megalodon ALIVE?!???" craze. Megalodon wasn't even that cool an extinct marine animal in the first place

"Shark in this image is 7 jet skis long" SPOKE LIKE A TRUE AMERICAN

My favorite "meg" video was that clip from Japanese scientists of a Pacific sleeper shark. Because even after people accepted it wasn't meg, they fought over whether it was a Pacific sleeper shark or a Greenland shark. Oh, no! If only we had some clue whether it was a PACIFIC sleeper shark or a GREENLAND shark off the coast of JAPAN! This is a Scooby Doo mystery for sure!

Hi AVNJ! You should play barotrauma! The game is about Europa (jupiters moon with a underground sea) where you play in a submarine that you have to maintain and defend. its basically a underwater submarine horror game that has tons of biomes and monsters + the map i randomly generated! (It's on steam) i recommend you play the tutorials or stuff might get confusing

What if avnj is actually a Megalodon? He could be saying this to trick us into thinking the meg isn't real. so he could eat us

I'm the person that brought up the jet ski pic!! I couldn't stop laughing on stream. AVNJ is a freaking gem

The ocean is big as hell sure, but not big enough to the point where we wouldn't notice a fucking 18 meter shark that's bigger than most whales.

nice content fish boy. I finally now understand that the Megalodon USED to be real therefore is extinct thanks

Today on "AVNJ shouldn't need to say this and the fact he does shows more patience than we deserve"

12:00 is likely whale shark, the jet skie looks a lot smaller because it’s angled away and farther away. The shark also has a pretty wide head

6:08 Don’t worry man dating teeth can be hard. On my first date with a tooth I took it sky diving. But if you’re looking for an idea with less bite I’d recommend going out for ice cream.

I love how he always plays anime music in the background like Lofi versions it’s sick like I heard the darling in the Franxx opening when he was talking about the marina trench

BUT HE MERGED WITH CRABZILLA IN THE MARIANA TRENCH, DON'T YOU KNOW ONLY 5% OF THE OCEAN IS EXPLORED? WE CAN'T BE CERTAIN!

"Shark in this image is 14.5 jetskis long" is the most American thing i've ever heard

I'm just vibing to the lofi anime music and enjoying megalodon debunks is just icing on the cake.

The fact that a 23 minute video has to be made to be made to prove megalodon is extinct, when the fact it's extinct should be extremely common knowledge by now, is making me wonder if humanity even has a future.

He watches so much crazy stuff that he is starting to devolve into the basic knowledge explanation of Professor Dave

I love that you put anime soundtracks and openings in the background. For example fairy tail or hunterxhunter c: Your channel is currently my fav. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for using my blog post on the HMS Challenger teeth as a source!

Nah Megalodon is chillin down in the Marianna trench with Crabzilla

Okay but the megalodon could easily survive with the amount of sea honey that’s in the ocean now days…cmon.

It took me a while to realize that you have remixes of anime osts as background music and I'm loving it

The whale shark iant the deepest swimmer. The greenland shark has been known to dive at almost 4k meters Also, you should make this doc a PDF and permanantly input it into your video descriptions

17:00 that looks like an above average size great white shark, it's definitely not photoshopped but if I'm wrong and it actually is pretty damn well done but otherwise that looks like an above average, hell even normal great white shark

"Ur moms bigger." --AVNJ I almost fell off my couch from laughing :D

16:20 not to mention THE LITERAL BOOM MIC IN THE IMAGE pretty obviously from a movie set, most likely jaws or something although ive never seen it

New proof for the Meg: if a creature as unrealistic as a seahorse can exist so why not meg ?

Convince me that joe biden isn't a megaladon in disguise.

I don't know why the youtube algorithm thought that this was relevant for me, but it was really interesting.

Man, I really wish more professionals in their field would do this, the humor and the knowledge is so fun to watch

8:48 is actually real but it's not a shark, it's a giant boat called Amoco Cadiz that sunk

Nice (and hilarious) video, but I do have one edit: the phylogenetic tree at the beginning shows the genus Otodus branching off from the genus Parotodus and genus Carcharocles (which includes Meg), all within the family Otodontidae. But yes, the point still stands that the Meg was far-removed from any living sharks (like, since the Cretaceous).

The Clannad music got me crying im just trying to learn man

A document like this would be harder to make for Crabzilla.

Proofs of the meg existing: We exist, so, why wouldn't be like that with the Meg?

"Could've evolved into Great White" Lmao, one of the suspected reasons of Megalodon going extinct was that it was outperformed by smaller,more successful species. Like the Great White. Who coexisted with the Meg at one point. Plus your point of being a completely different species

AVNJ after filming another video: takes off a wax mask, turns out to be the Meg

genuinely depressing that a video like this need to be made. im so sorry you had to do this.

I like Megalodon, I just wish people actually gave a damn about it beyond "WHAT IF IT'S STILL ALIVE?!?!!!???!!?!" clickbait theories

Yes, actual documentary.

Not only would it have to jump families, but the Great White was around when Megalodon existed. They are entirely separate species.

Everyone else: chiming in with memes, concerns, and disappointment that people still push for this. Me: just chilling to the background music, you’ve got good taste 😏

18:13 i litterly saw the video many times, and it never said it was a meg. It just said "basking shark swam by a boat" and people yelling but not in fear. Almost like exictment or smthing.

Do them kind of people know the pressures of the Mariana? DO THEY KNOW EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF SCIENCE?

the anohana and fairy tail music in the background is giving me nastalgia AAHHH I MISS THEM SO MUCH

Basking Sharks are so cool. They deserve to not be mistaken for Megalodons so much.

Have you checked the Mariana Trench only 5% has been explored

I dont think we need to explain why the Megalodon doesn't exist. It'd be obvious if it did.

I love how I’m listening to the Fairy Tail theme while he’s here counting jet skis 😂

Yes! Thank you for doing this! So much more evidence disproves the possibilities of Megalodon surviving to this day compared to supporting evidence. It's sad that people believe that it has.

Ok but am I the only one wondering why everyone is so captivated by the idea of a megalodon? It's a giant shark. ✨wow✨ There are so many real sea creatures out there that are not only cooler looking, but more dangerous than a large shark would be, given that sharks don't naturally eat people but rather bite them by mistake.

Megalodon is real bro. I saw one fight with Crabzilla! You gotta belive me man!

The image at 9:13 is clearly some kind of ship wreck.

I already knew he didn't exist anymore,it's like when someone explains why the earth isn't flat

I mean, even if megalodon did evolve into a smaller shark, it wouldn't be a megalodon anymore

You might be tired, but I love hearing you tiredly constantly explain every single time over and over again why the Megalodon is extinct. It's like you're killing it over every time. 😌 I live. (It dies)

16:41 I remember reading an article years ago about this large Great White being caught, released but then recaught and died of stress the second time with this image, idk

These megalodon believers are becoming the equivalent of flat-earthers and Bigfoot hunters

Can sharks get rabies or something like rabies? How does fish biology differ from mammalian biology? Can fish get sick, and how do their bodies react to pathogens? I would love to see you do a video on fish immune systems and how they are similar and different from ours.

The Megalodon never went extinct. It evolved into Crabzilla

The Megalodon may be extinct, but I still have hope for Crabzilla

You don't need a boom mic for interviewing someone, you'd use a lapel mic. A Boom mic is for picking up sound over distance like that of a movie set.

Am I allowed to wish a cool ass fish like that still existed
