On a happier note, when my parents came to visit I took them to the aquarium and my father was thrilled to see nautiluses.

I mean some ancient turtles reached up to 5 meters in length which means the predators couldn’t swallow them and actually had to break their 2 inch thick shells. Imagine trying to eat a 2 inch thick bone plate made that’s almost your size. Also they had really sharp and powerful beaks that they would just take chunks of flesh and bone off while you’re trying to get past the shell

Cretoxyrhina is indeed underrated. It deserves more recognition than it has.

But Cretoxytrhina is up to 40 feet (1.5X of modern Great White), and probably hunted in shallows, deep, and likely in fresh water of river estuaries. Everything its size and smaller was potential prey.

I love sharks. There's just something really cool about the absolute perfect killing machine being around so long they outlasted the dinosaurs, survived ice ages, pulled through mass extinction events, and went on to keep chomping today.

The reason the Cretoxyrhina died out is for the same exact reason the Megalodon did. As you said, it was competition but not with the adults. The young of these two species of sharks were very vulnerable towards other predators that evolved into the scene. As fewer and fewer young survived into adulthood, their species became unable to sustain themselves.

Sigh, if want to be completely unbiased, and much as I'm a vertebrate lover, we have forever been in the age of invertebrates (make up 95 percent of all animal life). But we don't realize it because animal books, tv shows, etc. focus 95% on vertebrates (fish, reptiles, mammals, amphibians, birds, dinos). Tho imo earth has nearly always been in the age of diversity, since no one or 2 group dominates every ecosystem. We tend to focus on mega faunal groups, but really if account for total biomass, species diversity, etc. less biased criteria, the "less interesting groups" are really in control of the planet (bacteria, fungi, plants, insects, etc. etc.) Not to say we can't have our own preferences :P

Is there a reason why the term "shark" is so commonly used to refer to any cartilaginous fish that's not a ray or a holocephalian? It's the most prominent use of a paraphyletic grouping that I know of, aside from "fish" itself. What makes it weirder is that all living sharks fit neatly into a crown group in Selachii or Selachimorpha, which appears to have its origins some way into the Mesozoic. Why isn't this the common definition?

Because the vast majority of people (including non-zoologist scientists) need terms to describe things they encounter in their day-to-day lives outside of any pedantic need for monophyletic groupings.

It was great learning more about the Ginsu Shark. Funny enough, a fossil of the C. mantelli species is on display my local science museum, so this video made me even happier. Can't wait to learn more during Shark Week.

The skull shape reminds me of bluntnose six gills, which id never noticed before. Very diff teeth of course, but still! Interesting. Thank you for covering so many different extinct species, not just the big ones were used to in media. Also for not hiding these behind a paywall!

I was the first to give a like

Good thing the Chinese weren't around in the Cretaceous or these epic sharks woulda been "finned" and turned into soup just like ALL of today's sharks.

If they tried that with these they might be extinct

Excellent info

Thank God that these shark are no more. What superb art-work you show us. Thank you for top quality productions, your work really is outstanding, I think. Thank you.

Sad to see this wonderful beast to go but the beautiful thing about this is that sharks are still here.

I love your shark 🦈 week keep up the great work my good sir’s

Very interesting, thanks!

Fantastic documentary

This is an amazing video

Whenever you slowly zoom in on the Great White I just wanna hug it, it looks really plush for some reason.

But there is no love there

I’ve also read somewhere of an artist on deviantart by the name Hodarinundu That mentions that analysis of the complete skeletons of Cretoxyrhina Show a fairly different animal from that of the great white shark. It has shown that it has a much shorter snout and bigger eyes, a kin to thresher and crocodiles sharks

Ayyye my favorite fossil shark finally getting some well-deserved recognition!

Why is this shark not as famous as Megalodon? Is so cool

It grew to be 26 feet and the mosa was from 33 to 59 feet

Amazing!

Love the thumbnail ;P
