6 Most Dangerous Megalodon Enemies Ever Existed

[Music] well here's a video that really bites connect six of megalodons most vicious enemies [Music] Megalodon was the biggest and baddest shark of the ocean 23 million years ago it could grow up to 60 feet and it's job ID was stronger than a t-rex is it was a force to be reckoned with eating other sharks whales and dolphins for breakfast so you might think that there was nothing that could stop it but even this massive shark had enemies and their fights could be lethal think of a t-rex vs. Godzilla way out in the middle of the ocean wearing life vests duking it out and you get the picture well maybe not life vests those are from the Flintstones period check out these six enemies of Megalodon that could certainly give it a run for its money well they didn't have money then either but you get it right hey first make sure you click the subscribe button and turn on notifications now you'll be one of the first bright ciders to watch our videos counting down from number six seto thuria okay so they've given me a bunch of these big ten dollar long Latin words to try to say let's just count up how much I can earn here okay Sedo thorium was a baleen whale from the seed othera dye family it lived in the mid Miocene period to the early Pliocene period and grew up to 15 feet fossil records have revealed that Sedo thorium would be megalodons top target Megalodon would be massive compared to sita thuria but see the thorium had a few tricks up its sleeve the very first whales had pointed teeth for catching and killing other sea animals later on Sita thorium evolved and developed baleen a strong but flexible material made of keratin which caught small organisms and worked as a strainer as it fed the small organisms would have been caught in large enough quantities to keep seed of thorium satisfied this would keep seed of thorium close to the surface and away from Megalodon but when Sita thorium was spotted by Megalodon there was no escape Megalodon would dive down to look up at its prey and then it would Ram Sita thorium at high speed damaging vertebrae in the process Sedo thorium would be too stunned to be able to escape and all's well that ends well [Music] number five is a co-fighter feral eye this large predator was unknown until geologists found an almost complete Saiga fighter skeleton in 2016 on the shores of southern Italy it's also referred to as a killer sperm whale because of its strong similarities in size to the killer whale and its close relationship to the sperm whale Zygo Feist setter lived in the late miocene period some 11 to 7 million years ago and it cruised the Mediterranean region from fossil records paleontologists have gathered that Zygo fighter grew to be 20 feet long it had an asymmetrical cranium which is commonly associated with high-frequency sound production and echolocation Zygo fighter used its echolocation to find and hunt large prey their teeth could range from 6 to 10 inches and they had 14 teeth in their lower jaw and 13 on top since their teeth were large and they had full jaw functionality it's likely that they fed on large fish dolphins small whales and cephalopods such as squids and octopuses it's lethal bite would have been its best chance against Megalodon number four although Feist said er now all of I said er was a predatory whale very similar to modern-day sperm whales sperm whales are the largest predators and the largest toothed whales today Oh loaf I said er lived in the Miocene period back then the country of Panama was underwater and many species crossed from the east coast of North America to the west coast through a passageway the passageway called the Central American Seaway was also a favored travel spot for Megalodon follow fly setters reached a length of 20 feet and weighed about 2400 pounds with these specifications anyone can see that Megalodon was much larger but a low fighters would swim in groups to repel attacks by giant beasts like Megalodon in the hope of being protected by the door number three oh my brig mph I said er should jens's now brig mph I Center was a highly predatory sperm whale the only known fossil is a nearly complete skeleton that is dated at 14 to 15 million years old from it paleontologists gathered that brig mo Phi Center was 23 feet long like Zygo Fighter brig malphite's header also had teeth and its upper and lower jaws these powerful jaws and their size set them at the top of the food chain and they roam near the coast of Japan like sperm whales it had a sperma Ceti organ which gave it the ability to use echolocation to find and identify prey megalodons traveled all the way around the world as evidenced by the location of their fossils megalodons and brig mo fighters swam the oceans at the same time the Miocene period brig mph I said er was a predator to fish squid and other small whales but its role could switch from predator to prey when it faced Megalodon number two Ram pho such as now renfa such s is one of the largest known crocodiles ever to roam earth the world wouldn't even be aware of the existence of Rafa such as if it wasn't for the discovery of in complete sets of fossils that are mostly teeth and skulls Ram fascitis is estimated to have been 26 to 36 feet long it inhabited the Indian subcontinent and like Megalodon it lived in the Miocene period it's a relative of the modern false gari Oh a native of Peninsular Malaysia like the false Korea it is believed to have had a longer and thinner snout compared to other crocodiles it also had multiple teeth to capture its prey theory suggests that Ram Phocis fed on fish and on occasion much larger prey Rafa such as was such an excellent swimmer thanks to its strong and long tail given its massive size it would go into rivers and oceans to try to find enough food to sustain it this is where it was likely to have occasionally encountered Megalodon RAM facetious and megladon would have fought over the same food given that ralphus Suches had such a long and strong bite it would have been a big challenger to Megalodon number one live yatin Melville a you might know this whale by the name Leviathan soon after researchers discovered leviathans fossils and assigned it the name Leviathan they realized that the name had already been taken by a mastodon a century earlier this caused the switch to the Hebrew spelling of live yatin now live yatin and Megalodon were two of the most terrifying creatures to roam the oceans and both live during the Miocene period live yatin was a whale that was 60 feet long and weighed up to 50 tons its largest teeth were up to 14 inches long a theory about live yatin Smith finding is that it was very similar to megalodons it would dive deep and headbutt its prey at fast speeds and its target would be other whales Megalodon and Leviathan competed for the same food and fought over turf they both preferred to feed on baleen whales like Sita thorium which we mentioned earlier live yatin had the longest team but Megalodon had the strongest bite they were both of a similar size and weight and had plenty of reasons to fight each other so who do you think would win in a fight it's unclear if these two beasts actually targeted each other but it is likely that they butted heads over food [Music] regardless of whether these predators could win a battle against Megalodon or not their existence put a big dent in megalodons lifespan Megalodon was of such a massive size that it needed over 2,500 pounds of food a day research suggests that the increase in competition for food from other predators and the lack of prey might have been a strong factor in megalodons extinction so who do you think would win a fight between live yatin and Megalodon do you think any of these predators could have taken down Megalodon tell us your opinion in the comments oh and give us your guess as to how many times I had to read a long Latin $10 word and finally don't
