How unfortunate for Megalodon to have one of the contributing factors of its extinction basically being a miniature version of itself.

Not actually all that uncommon. Being large tends to be a mark against species when it comes to adaptability. They have effectively min maxed too hard into a niche, and if the niche is disrupted in any meaningful way... It usually means extinction.

Being so massive makes it much harder to adapt to rapid climate changes. Megalodons have been such a terrifying creatures and yet fragile in terms of survivability. If they were still here would have been scary though...

We learn so many significant thoughts and knowledge from this channel. They’ve been the best.

This music is just perfect And this is the first time I've seen a huggable megalodon.

Sounds awful that megalodon became a victim of its massive bulk and high-calorie demand metabolism. I also read an article that suggested its prey, mainly migratory whales, were able to travel to the poles due to their insulating blubber. Megalodon wasn't able to regulate its body temperature efficiently enough to follow, which partially led to its extinction due to the abscence of prey.

No, this will sadly never happen, they would probably go extinct. Because of movies about sharks, people start to misunderstand them, and those who kill them are hailed as heroes. Sharks reproduce in mangrove swamps, which are getting destroyed because humans love replacing rare trees with infrastructure. Multiple coral reefs are destroyed, the fishing industry is polluting more than the entire human population in the western hemisphere, and people rejoice to hear that. What they do not know, is that with the extinctoin of sharks, the food chain would collapse, plants will die, the world loses 50% of its oxygen, the ocean loses all it's wildlife, all the animals on earth start breathing large amounts of carbon dyoxide, everything dies, you know, the usual appocalypse scenario.
