Megalodon The Revenge

Fun facts- Megalodon was a global species, with different populations likely adapting towards their local prey, similarly to how whales have distinct populations within a global distribution. While the only confirmed prey items of Megalodon are dwarf baleen whales, whose extinction due to the ice age likely contributed to Megalodon's extinction (while great whites' more resilient pinniped prey let it survive and prosper), feeding marks on large whales and a section of humpback rip that shows damage from a fatal infection after a large animal attacked it both suggest that adult giant baleen whales were also on the menu- though not a frequent enough dinner to save it from starvation. Like modern sharks, Megalodon fed by thrashing side-to-side, using its whole body to leverage its jaws like sawblades. Sharks can swing their jaws forwards on a hinge, which means they can keep their jaws short and stout while still being able to reach far forwards- which lets them have much more powerful bites than their musculature might suspect. An adult meg would launch an ambush from below, using their dark backs to hide in deep water. Megalodon, like other sharks, headed into shallow water to breed- Megalodon probably migrated long distances to reach safe breeding grounds, like the great white does today. Shark teeth in Panama are proof of a Megalodon nursery there, with babies as small as two metres long seeking sanctuary in the shallow water, with most sharks being babies and juveniles from two to ten metres. The lack of large marine mammal prey and the rarity of their teeth in the area suggests adults were only occasional visitors to the site. The smaller juveniles were probably threatened by great hammerheads and the extinct snaggletoothed weasel shark Hemipristis serra, both of which were about six metres long, while the larger ten-metre juveniles would only have adult Megalodon to fear.

"...and so started the first gang war between the Levys and the Megs."

Hats off to the brave film crew, who likely put themselves in serious danger to get this footage.

This guy should get hired as one of the animators for Prehistoric Planet

If Levithians were anything like modern whales, they would have realistically evaded by diving. Megs were warm, shallow water creatures. They couldn't chase into the colder, darker seas that the cetaceans call home. One of the many powerful perks of being warm-blooded.

Livyatan: killed one the Megalodon's offspring in the last video Megalodon: So you have chosen death.

Man, just go knock to the BBC’s door and launch a Sea Monsters reboot ! This is soooooooo good ! Bigger than life ! Amazing! 😱

the Sea colours, the shading, the realistic texture, the fluid movements make it seems like it was actually recorded

Nah it shark hood 💀

The idea of an organized family unit of megalodon shark hunting on solitary Leviathans can be seen as disputable at best, but the visual appeal and polish of this animation does merit everyone's full praise. This is such a stunningly beautiful work one can't but wish a little that it could be proven true.

Like how you portray the Megalodons as intelligent and emotional animals just like elephants.

Allow me to introduce the family: 1:20 little Billy, 16 years old, nicknamed ❛❛funny Billy❜❜ or ❛❛the excited one❜❜. Very fast, very curious, always goofing around. 1:24 Jimmy, only four years older, nicknamed ❛❛the beast-wannabe❜❜ is Billy's big bro. Never far behind. A rumor says that he destroyed a whole coral reef once, just for ❛❛the fun of it.❜❜ 1:26 𝙅𝙖𝙘𝙠, 32 years old (❛❛the maniac❜❜) is Billy and Jimmy's oldest bro. Easily irritated, always seems depressed, often reminds Billy and Jimmy ❛❛to be careful with strangers❜❜. He killed five baby-whales once, for absolutely no reason: he didn't even eat them (I think he hates whales). 1:29 𝐉𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐫, 35 years old, (❛❛Jenifer-Hell-Fire❜❜) is 𝙅𝙖𝙘𝙠's big sister. Trust me: you don't wanna mess with her. She's CRAZY!!! 1:32 𝓖𝓸𝓸𝓭 𝓞𝓵 ❜ 𝓤𝓷𝓬𝓵𝓮 𝓑𝓮𝓷. 93 years old. He dies bitten by a whale... (2:49) he wasn't a good hunter anyway. ... 1:39 𝓝𝖎𝖓𝖆 157 years old (nicknamed ❛❛Mamacita Nina❜❜ sometimes ❛❛The Doomsday Lady,❜❜ or even ❛❛Apocalyptic Fish❜❜). Always angry, always hungr

I am so deeply impressed by this. It’s not a face to face fight like the rest of these animations, and while the two animals that died did not have fatal blows, they did die either way because that’s just what happens in real life. The final blow to the Levi was magnificent because you could really feel the sharks weight and power driving into its prey as it chomped down into the ribs. Lastly, I love the attention to detail as the whale was being devoured. Not only were the megs eating, but so was the other life. The cowfish and wrasse were so impressive

These videos are getting better and better, we need to start making names for returning dinos lol.

Props to the cameraman for capturing this badass moment 🔥🔥

Props to the cameraman for risking his own life to show us this awesome footage of bigass sharks and whales killing eachother.

He went down fighting. mad respect. also, shoutout to that one cowfish that just munching on a whale.

The meg at the bottom left at 3:00 be like : “This is for you brother!”

my one gripe is that the whale (which usually travel in pods) is alone (unless its a fully grown male). Where as the mega, which were solitary species that only met to breed(much like modern day great whites), had a whole school of mini sharks around it. Sand Tiger shark mothers(a species that are ovoviviparous) will eat her children if they dont get far enough away after being born.

Even if he did die, the Livyatan was an absolute beast for killing not one, but two (maybe even more) older than juvenile Megalodons during its lifetime
