Popular idea is it's a giant great white. Science: "It's a big chonk of a shark."

I love the Whale shark look for the Meg, definitely incredibly intimidating and makes sense given it’s size. I would look at all large fish and Whales and see if you can find more examples of convergent evolution between them all. It might help paint what Megalodon looked like. I would also love to see a sketch of the Meg with a more Sand Tiger shark body, could be really interesting.

@wrathofatlantis2316

I agree. I think the depiction at 7:09 looks plausible in combining the sand shark back, whale shark shape, with a short broad snout. However the whale shark does not need short term speed as much, so that might change the tail to something shorter and maybe smaller for a faster easier cycles?

There is already a study showing that the scales of the megalodon were from slow swimmers. So hunting whales is almost ruled out, the tooth could be a scavenging act

I very much enjoyed your Shark Week videos, almost as much as I enjoy your several videos on the Azhdarkid pterosaurs. If you continue to produce videos about shark evolution, I would quite appreciate a series on the so-called “cow sharks,” the large, evolutionarily “primitive” six-and-seven-gilled sharks that seem to spend a lot of time in the deepest parts of the world’s oceans. And just one more thing: your passion for the great work you did in the three Azhdarkid videos was explained for me when you confessed that as a group, they were your favourite types of pterosaur. Having been raised in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, I can still remember when paleontology still considered the (in)famous pteranodon the largest creature to have ever flown (as the Azhdarkids had not yet been well-documented or described as a group). Just for nostalgia’s sake-and bc I think many misconceptions about pteranodon abound-I’d enjoy your doing a video on that magnificent and iconic pterosaur.

Imagine if Megalodon was just a giant Hammer Head I know this is highly unlikely especially with the disadvantages. It’s just a fun stupid thought. By disadvantages I mean that a Hammer shaped head isn’t great for attacking large body prey. Hammerheads have heads designed for hunting rays and other creatures similar in size and shape. The wide head allows for more electromagnetic receptors(probably got the name wrong, sorry), this allows it to find prey in the sediment. However this isn’t great for slamming ones face into large prey. Hammerheads are efficient predators and are well designed however their body plan doesn’t fit well in hunting large prey. All this comment means is that what if there was ever a big Hammerhead shark that swam the oceans. Don’t dig into it. But then again, what about a massive Goblin Shark? Or Megalodon being having traits from multiple shark species? Who knows? However, I’m now interested in shark jaws and I want to see if Megalodons have jaws similar to other shark species so that could possible show the skull shape. Teeth aren’t helpful in showing what the skull of the animal is other then giving ideas. Take care KZread commenters!

There always seems to be a possibility missed on this one. Some of the largest extant predatory sharks are deep sea feeders (young Greatwhites, Sleepers, Greenland Sharks), so maybe Megalodon was a Sleeper/Greenland looking animal. I know its way less romantic to view it as an absolutely enormous, super slow moving potato shark, but its energy efficient (so you can get really big) and whale-fall type events would have been abundant (shit was just bigger and there were a lot of whales). Would have been an absolute nightmare to look at though, given how creepy and corpse-like sleepers and Greenland sharks are.

Nice video. For me what is most missing though is an in depth discussion of what this 'eating machine' ate (the teeth would indicate) and therefore the body design to achieve that eating. A great white, I believe, feeds on primarily mammal tissue. What does that say about the similarity in tooth shape? Exactly what is the current conjecture regarding what these massive ancient sharks ate, or could eat, to support their size?

VERY GOOD video!👏😃

The sand tiger makes sense knowing most of the teeth have been found in what were shallow seas. They wouldn't need to be a good swimmer, just capable of quick bursts to strike. That also could be why they died out, they were a specialized hunter. Once the seas were gone they weren't able to adapt to deeper oceans.

I’d love to see a remake of this with the new knowledge of their much longer length than thought when this came out.

If anything, the fossilized remains of megalodon make the body look considerably larger from the pectoral fins forward. This might mean that much of the shark's size and weight was at the front of the body. That may mean that it had a significantly larger skull. A couple thoughts, Color scheme: megalodon's teeth morphology is similar to White Sharks because its prey are similar -- both hunt large marine mammals, and it has been learned that White Sharks actually consume large amounts of meat from whale carcasses. This might indicate that megalodon had other similar morphology, such as its skin color being more similar to a White Shark than, say, a Mako Shark. Similarly, White Sharks hunt during the day and their color scheme and vision (White Sharks can see color) are adapted for hunting at day. Since megalodon's hunting behavior in the fossil record indicates it was a similar ambush predator, it may have hunted at the same time of day, and had similar orientation of its eyes -- at least similarly binocular vision as Carcharadon and Isurus. Skull Shape: megalodon teeth are shaped slightly differently than Carcharadon (see Facts in Motion: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qpuNj8iPg7OvksY.html). Functionally, they are designed to bite large pieces of flesh off of prey, which is common in some legendary land predators. The idea that megalodon had a larger and wider skull to aid its lethal dental assault is supported by the fossil records of several land predators, including dinosaurs that hunted migratory megafauna. This might mean that the nose of megalodon, instead of pushed in, is actually stretched outward. Some other Mackerel Sharks have proportionately smaller noses than Carcharadon -- Porbeagles, Salmon Sharks and Thresher Sharks. As a starting point for paleo artists, those sharks may better indicate the shape of megalodon's skull, but more wide and broad.

The great white shark is quite specialized animal, adapted for hunting fast moving mammals with a specific hunting method, so its unlikely megalodon would have been a scaled up version

I really like the 7:08 concept.

I think we can all agree that it probably had very muscular arms

Congrats on 100k

A big question is what sort of speed would Megalodon have needed to catch its prey and what its hunting strategies were like. If it was primarily an ambush predator which strikes from below, as the Great White often does, then its body would need to be a design that could pull off short bursts of speed. This would mean a very powerful tail along with a relatively streamlined body. Convergent evolution has caused reptiles, mammals, and sharks to develop roughly the same body plan independently of each other with Ichthyosaur and dolphins/orcas. I can't imagine a large surface-feeding carnivore like Megalodon would have a body-plan which is very different from that. The head could be a very different shape, but I think the meg's body had to have been shaped more like the Great White or Orca for the creature to catch its prey. The sorts of body-plans used by large deep-sea sharks like the Greenland Shark wouldn't work for a massive shark that hunts large whales on the ocean surface.

There is already a study showing that the scales of the megalodon were from slow swimmers. So hunting whales is almost ruled out, the tooth could be a scavenging act

I suppose an important question would be, did it have to move fast. Were the marine animals it was hunting fast? Killer Whales are not as fast as dolphins, but they have more endurance and are therefore able to slowly wear down the dolphins. Killer Whales are also bulky and have big fins

My vote is for the one at 07:10. Sand Tiger Shark body for better hydrodynamics for its large size, wider, flatter face for those massive jaws we find, and whale shark fins for less drag, and no ridiculously bulky body that needs to be kept fed.

My favorite representation of this animal was in The Meg. There were plenty of subtle details that distinguished it from a giant great white.
