10 Reasons the Megalodon Shark May Still Exist!
I don’t know why, but many people that the megalodon still exists. Meybe it’s because of evidence like
these, especially number one which to me is the number one arguement regarding the existence of
these sea monsters. Here are 10 reasons why the megalodon may still exist.
Number 10. Unexplored Waters
The earth’s surface is primarily made up of water, more than 70 percent of it in fact. And do you know
how much of it remains unexplored? 80 percent. Imagine, we’ve been on this earth for thousands of
years yet we are only fully able to map, observe, and explore 20 percent of the world’s oceans.
The reason is mostly because accessibility. All of these unexplored regions of the world’s oceans are
basically inaccessible to us. Funding, technology, or the lack thereof, and someone willing to dedicate
their lives exploring the unknown are all reasons for this inaccessibility.
So, logic only dictates that we shouldn’t declare something like the megalodon as extinct if we really
haven’t explored every location where it could be hiding. We do know, according to scientific research,
that megs prefer warm, coastal water, but who could say that they haven’t evolved to take advantage of
less competition in other habitats? It has long been speculated that megs died out because they couldn’t
compete with the smaller and faster great white sharks, maybe they just upped and moved to
somewhere else? As long as such a large expanse of ocean remains unexplored, megalodon believers
will not believe their favorite shark to be extinct.
Number 9. Hiding in the Mariana Trench
As we have previously established, much of the world’s oceans remain unexplored. The perfect example
of that is the Mariana Trench, the undisputed deepest part of the ocean. So deep, in fact, that you could
easily fit Mt. Everest in it, with a few more thousand feet to spare.
Once thought a barren wasteland, scientists have discovered in the past few years that the place is
actually teeming with life. Both predators and prey alike thrive in its dark waters, from tiny fish, sea
cucumbers, giant amoeba, to monstrous creatures like the giant squid and the colossal squid.
Some whales are known to venture into its depths to hunt for these humongous squid, who’s to say that
the megalodon didn’t? For all we know, they might have found that it’s easier to eke out a living down
there and stayed permanently? Again, until a full exploration of the Mariana trench hasn’t been done,
that distinct possibility still exists.
Number 8. Google Map Sightings
Google Maps has been a boon to cryptozoologists and monster hunters everywhere, particularly to
those who believe that the megalodon still exists. Who could blame them when Google Map images like
these exist.
This image reportedly shows a Google Map image in the Bahamas. In it you can clearly show the
silhouette of an extremely large fish. We know it’s large because these images are taken by satellites
orbiting the earth, so animal that would have registered on the image must be extremely large.
People have said that this image was actually of a whale shark, another extremely large animal that
frequents the waters off the coasts of the Bahamas, but there is something off about its shape to
definitely conclude that it’s a whale shark.
Of course, there are others who will always say that the photo is doctored and the unaltered photo can
be found somewhere. I’m not saying that explanation is impossible, especially with the internet being
littered with these faked photos, but something in this animal’s eerie silhouette really makes me believe
that the mighty meg still swims in our oceans.
Number 7. Megalodon Teeth
Have you ever wondered why every beach side souvenir shops sell one of those necklaces with a shark’s
tooth as a pendant? Neither have I, as I find those too tacky for my taste. But then again, there’s a
reason why there are a lot of those being sold, and that’s not because of some covert black market on
shark dentistry.
As it turns out, sharks will always have a fresh set of chompers. Their worn out teeth gets completely
replaced with new ones every couple of weeks or so. That’ the reason why the sea floor is littered with
them. The megalodon does the same thing.
Now, there have been a lot of controversy involved with found megalodon teeth. Some of them have
been dated to roughly around 10,000 years ago, specifically the ones recovered by the HMS Challenger,
