Tbh the old Dunk looks disproportionately long. I'm glad the new evidence shows a chunkier fish.

What a dumb thing to do.....

The Earth is a different planet from what Theia ran into. I dont understand how people dont get that.

i suppose it's maybe an obvious question. But why would you WANT Megalodon alive today? Great whites are already so deeply feared, and people want a bigger shark? Absolutly bonkers. Love the video ^^ just wish mockumentaries like this had to take more responsibility for the damage they can cause.

Discovered this a few days ago and have been binging since 😂

I'm so happy I found this! Like someone else posted, this came on my "fall asleep to a long science video" suggestion list. But here I am in the early morning (crazy for me!) Because wow I can't believe I found a paleontology video that's legitimately funny and engaging! So great! (I specifically love you specifically evolving through the eons...and it's cool you're not alone, even if your buddy is kind of a dick...lol good stuff!)

Will there be a new history of the Earth soon man just thought I ask it has been 8 months ago since this one came out as it's getting good?

How long have great whites been in existence? Are they a "living fossil"?

Marty Stouffer!

Luv that you started as a polar bromide ring; in my head-cannon you were referring to self-assembling tubulin, forming membranes and threads driven by quantum-darwinism into abiogenesis.

The creationist are starting to stick their mythology in our faces again. So I'm having to start sharing yours and other real science posts again!

In the ordivcian you cannot bring up plants without bringing up fungi, who paved the way for the plants by breaking down rocky material. Plants just didn't appear, they had help from fungi.

LOVED this! thank you for your fun commentary and making what could be a dry subject extremely engaging!

Ground sloths are still alive.

That’s true…just because they were dinosaurs in the Triassic doesn’t mean it was the mezozoic. Dinosaurs exits today, they never stopped existing, but it doesn’t mean now is the mezozoic

1:30 drop bears are real…they originated from actual warnings of thylacoleo carnifex

I have so much appreciation for the Kratt brothers I grew up on zaboomafoo and wild kratts so I was the obnoxious 4 year old who wouldn’t stop trying to tell you that alligators and crocodiles have different snouts. But I mean having a four year old who knows the difference between warm and cold blooded animals and can tell you at length the differences between skin, scales, scutes, and denticles You absolutely did something right!

I'm just trying to picture a bunch of scientists having a punch up over these creatures

you had the chance to say "it's dangerous to go alone, take this" and you did not, I am disapointed

I Have a Question. You Said The rise of temperature was the Fastest in the History of Earth. I wonder if the Great dying took one Million Years the Last and Coming Hundret Years look for me like they are by Far a more Extreme change in Global Temperature then the Great Dying was concidering we already Changed the Temperature by 1,4°C within 250 Years and are on a Course to Increase it by 3°C to the end of the Century. So my Question is was the Great Dying even faster than oure Courent Change and the Temperature was more like a Rapid Cooling because of the Dust in the Atmosphere followed by a longer time of stagnation were not much changed and Earth staied Cool untill the Volkanos stopped and then The Greenhouse Gasses realli Kicked in when the Dust Settled thereby Increasing the Temperature Even More Rappidly than Humanity is doing it right now or was it a more Gradual thing were the Temperature First Plummited and then Rose again and You ment the Total Change in Temperature was the biggest in such a Timespan Earth ever experienced.

Maybe the better question is what's a reptile

my greatest media literacy shame was being 13 and believing this

It was mockmentry, it was made for entertainment but yea it was bad. Shark week has returned to form the last few years and been mainly shark science shows.

Peter Benchley would regret the impact of Jaws and became a shark conservationist

Incredibly interesting point in time, its tantalizing just how much information is beyond reach.

I still think that it looked like before

DUNK! 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

acetely they made 3 seasons

Man, it's hard to believe that Discovery Channel- the same program that introduced me to When Dinosaurs Ruled America- made a lie like that. It's crazy.

Crew, we will seek the White Whale and kill it, because I am insane!

By all means do a piece on the decline of educational television, but first, I demand you recount the adventures of you and TimTim in the Late Triassic.

Just discovered your channel, it is great!

What an idiot and what people are just watching her?

This was excellent, thank you. Your comment about a “ sperm whale on steroids” made me wonder why modern sperm whales, which are approximately the same size as megalodon, Survived while megalodon did not. According to Wikipedia sperm whales don’t eat things that are much larger than the giant squid, which maxes out at around 300 kilos. Don’t get me wrong megalodon definitely extinct but modern oceans can and do support 40 to 60 ton predators.

I mean. We can get nuclear. Sigilmassasaurus.

My personal theory is that TimTim will become a dog or something like that

I'd like to know what her frequency is

I miss the history channel etc. They were great. I loved the factual shows, and I liked the speculative & 'what if" shows. The mockumentaries are interesting, exploring the ways things could have evolved & happened, but I didn't like the way they faked interviews. Interviewing people who are sure they've seen huge sharks is one thing, if they want to pay actors to act out a script they should make a movie. I wish more people had watched those and realized how easily the public can be fooled, too.

THREE **HUNDRED** YEARS AGO?? i had to rewind and turn the volume up to make sure i was hearing that correctly. that’s wild!!

I have a silly idea for the lost world vids South america in the paleocene-eocene ?

When the mermaid one came out in 2012 I was in the hospital with some heart troubles. Nothing serious but I was on some drugs while they tried to figure out what was wrong with me, and under that influence, watched the mermaid mocumentary, and bought it hook. line and sinker (no pun intended)

The triassic is the period where you can see the average australian fauna

History of the simulation ⁉️🤣

Maybe the real Megalodon was _us humans_ who took its place along the way. 😌

fun fact: Dracorex hogwartsia was named by school children!

What i am getting from this is that, if they were the cat equivalent of wolves, we could have had these guys instead of dogs.

Would Love to see you talk about the rise and fall of educational content
