    If megalodon would still exist, you could probably eat it in some Japanese sushi place.

    "What if Prehistoric animals were alive today?" "Then they wouldn't be prehistoric would they?"
  • @wii7876
    A meg tooth was found In South UK dated only 4000 years ago, that's after the ice age so lasted longer than we knew 😮
  • Because my kids are always asking "what if" 😅 so I turn this on and they will have all of their imagination satisfied . Love it
  • @macwelch8599
    Imagine the amount of excitement people would have if any dinosaur species were found in Early Paleocene rocks, just 10 million years after they supposedly went extinct
  • I'd love to see a 13m snake wrap itself around a 19m shark enough times to get itself in a position to squeeze well enough. I'm guessing the 60-foot Meg was 30-foot around in circumference so the Titanaboa would only be able to wrap it once! Snakes need to be able to get a better grip to torque down enough to suffocate their pray, especially a beast like the Meg!

    It’s always that person that’s gonna try to catch a school bus sized fish 😂
  • @Famousfire97
    it would be really cool to see a meg in real life but even if the climate and the food was enough for them to survive im pretty sure orca's would hunt them to extinction pretty quick
  • I’d recommend the megalodon tartare as it’s one of our most popular appetizers. If you’re open to something new, you could also try the seared mosasaur if you wish.
  • @PraveenSrJ01
    If Tyrannosaurs Rex was still alive it would probably destroy humanity.
  • @xfactor3000
    There would be massive mounds of pooh everywhere
  • @dereka5310
    I think it's likely there are some species living in the ocean we just haven't discovered them. We still have like 95% of our oceans to explore😅😅
  • @jestinnawelch35
    Megalodons could still be around. I mean, only like 5% - 7% of the Earth's oceans have been explored. There could totally be some undiscovered tropical area they migrated to, in order to get away from humans. I mean, wouldn't you try to stay away from humans if you could? I sure would 😅
  • Yeah, for the last part, there is no chance in hell a titanoboa could deal with a meg that is bigger and outweighed the snake 12x
  • @SRC267
    The only way we can "bring meg back" is to create a mechanical/robotic one with an A.I. brain all covered in real skin or life-like skin and flesh. Just throw it in an aquarium.
  • @Shanggggggg
    What of this prehistorical animals don't actually look like this?What if those large tooth is just a large tooth?What if they're actually small but has a massive mouth and teeths??I mean there's no wrong because all of it is still mythical
  • As a learning music composer, separate and matching music themes intro for each predator. Awesome work. I personally appreciate the thinking and theme selection throughout the video. Kudos to the team and the editor Edit: : it's my 3rd cmnt on this 50+ mins video, as I am high a f and enjoyed the whole video!😂🎉
  • @joerelogoc
    Claire's scream is really hilarious 😂 😂😂 4:12
  • @REDSTONENOOB.
    What if we brought back the mosasaurus, but only the 1meter kind?
