Full Version: BIG SHARK
Thats fake.
never....its a piece of art
I picked these few comments up in a variety of places, this baord probably being one of them:
the assumption that Meg (which is an awesome book) was 50 feet is based on the assumption that the biggest tooth (seven inches) that we have seen was the biggest one in the mouth of the biggest shark. Thats kinda a far-fetched hope.
Someone else had this lovely thought: egg-laying sharks lay there eggs in shallow waters. What if Meg WAS the pup?!
Megalodon's been my favorite shark for quite awhile. ^.^

The only evidence we have of Megalodon having ever existed is its teeth and jawbone.
None of the ones we have found was younger than 30,000,000 years old
Its highly unlikely.
Theres nothing in the trench that big either.
There isn't enough food for it to survive.
Even the novel Meg got that bit right.
In the book there were only three of them
Could three sharks have survived for the last 30,000,000 years.
Thats hardly a breeding population and don't forget that sharks in times of hunger are quite happy to eat each other.

I read the book. I figured there was more than just a handful because they would be SORELY imbred or extinct if it was just three. ^^; it wasnt like they did--or even wanted to--track the sharks and count how many there are.
But if they ever build the Tanaka Institue and try to house a Meg in it...IM NOT GOING!!!
It kind of looks fake, but I'm not sure...... there's something missing in the shark's details 
ya i dought something that big would go undetected unless it hides near the trenchs where no one can go so that might mean thier safe there, but if that thing does exist then im never gonna go to the ocean lol
Maybe, the ocean is huge, isn't it? (i've only been to the pacific ocean twice) It would have tons of room to hide and it could it eat small whales. If it does exist then i'm glad I live in the middle of the praries!

ya ima agree with you on that lol
It's quite possible it still exists....who knows what's down there in the deep of the abyss (i.e. ocean)....still freaky though. I don't like sharks...lol
One of the rules of survival is adaptability. The Megalodon could be living down deep in the water where food might come small so they learned to control their hunger and might be able to eat small fish or whatever, stretching their hunger disaplain and live off of that for a little before eating again. It's a possibility 
. Good to be back again.

Welcome back, Shreiker. You were a member before the age of Walken, I see.
saw this and thought of you
my wife asked me who that was on the surfboard,
I replied he's either breakfast lunch or dinner depending what time of the day it is

It's a dolphin. I seen it before on a store site where they were selling shark teeth. the caption read "It's a dolphin, we swear!" or something to that effect.
The one of the soldier dude having a shark jump out at him is photoshop. Some sharks DO jump out of the water, but...not quite like that, i think. Not to mention he's a big boy to be doing that. And what is the camera dude doing, just floating out in the water?
Found that one on the same website. The caption read, "And you think YOU'RE having a bad day!"

Yeah, theres a thread on that nearby.
i swear this one is real cos i saw it in a movie
lol
awwww i guess you don't believe me just cos i said it was a movie.
Here's an actual movie of a surfer getting attacked by not one but two great white sharks. Did someone say pack animal ?

If you dare.
theres 30 seconds of surfing footage before the action begins for some reason.

It freezes over and over again at the beggening.
Got any other formats to watch this in?

put "surfer shark attack video" into google there should be quite a few links to it as its quite a famous piece of footage.
It works fine on my pc and i'm two year out of date.
What are you using to watch it on, an abacus or something lol

Theres only one marine animal that scares me more than sharks.
Its the colossal squid.
You heard about that ?

Yes. It's very big and aggresive. That scares me more than sharks also.
It's not big its colossal
and it doesn't have suckers
it has hooks
I've made a thread about it. We can continue this there, no?
I am glad there was this post this morning.
Last night I had an awful dream of sharks...i was at a beach and saw a school of them coming in and didn't want to be foolish and yell and have everyone think i was weird. I saw someone bit and finally started screaming and everyone left the water except this one big anglo man....i kept screaming and screaming and he wouldn't come to shore and they killed him.
Then this morning I saw in the news from the land australia a ship captain was torn apart while snorkeling last night by a 20 foot shark. ick.
Of course, in my dream it ended with a shark swimming up to the shore and turning into britney spears and wanting to be my friend. I don't know what to make of that part. ick.
Also...I think Megalodon is still alive. I think iot's similarity to the great white is very close and established, although with some slight structural differences. The fact that great whites continue growing as long as they live floats out there as an interesting fact.
I believe great whites just keep growing and become megalodons if they live long enough. I think it's just the last stage of thier life. Remember, great whites have been around since the Megalodon era too...I think they are it's puppies.
No, I'm not hopped up on la mota, either.

Hmm nice theory, but there are significant differences between the jaw and teeth structures between the two animals. Enough to say that the Carcharodon carcharias evolved from the megalodon carcharias But not that they are the same species.
anyone off to florida this year wants to be careful.
Last year of over 1000 disappearences of the coast line the florida tourist board announced that only two were victims of shark attacks.
Despite the fact that at least 6 attacks were witnessed by a number of people.
Guess being eaten alive doesn't draw the tourists like it used to

That's weird! I think 1000's of people do wind up missing while swimming, never recovered, and noone mentions the elephant in the room....sharks! The scientists always say "oh, humans are not thier prey....no fears!" Yet, I have read the account of the USS Indianapolis...the great ship torpedoed in World War 2 and of almost 1000 men who went in the water....only 300 survived to be rescued three days later. Sharks. Sharks. Sharks. "Men drowned themselves to escape the horror." "They came at day. They came at night. I estimate they were tearing us apart at the rate of four every hour...I'm not sure." One of the rescue planes intentionally disobeyed orderes and landed in the water so some men could climb on board and escape the horror.
On several mystery sights they have a catagory for dissapearances. Usually important men..."why did the duke of earl vanish...?" ect ect.....and so many of them are while swimming at sea. Some fellow of royal blood dissapeared off the florida coast while swimming....political intrigue? Alien abduction? No. It's time to mention the elephant in the room.
The ones who dissapear may have met sharks. We find the ones they didn't eat. we don't find the ones they did. We ARE thier food, just like seals and fish, senor scientists.
Remember the elephant in the room. He's got a big set of teeth.

I think that if not the 'origional big shark', maybe this one is a species evolved to live in deep water. That would explain why any sightings would be EXTREMELY rare, as it could not rise to the surface because of pressure change. Heck, the ocean is so deep, there must be thousands of undiscovered creatures down there...
The sightings of megalodon aren't extremely rare.
They are non existant.
What do you see these sharks eating at this great depth.
Theres a whole host of physiological reasons why a large shark couldn't exist at depth as well, but it'd be pointless me listing them for you.
You either believe in something that there is no evidence for or you don't
bit like jesus really in that respect.

i'm not sure if anybody has seen this but take a look at the size of these teeth. You can buy them for yourself. But they are expensive! They're between 900 dollars and 2000 dollars!
You can see them upclose and personal. Scary!

Still not as bad as those huge ones though 
Hi all, this is my first post here. I figured I'd post it here since sharks are my one of my biggest fears.
I'm kinda up in the air about this topic. I think that if there was any place in the world that an animal could hide without being found it would be the ocean since there are place that we will never see. If they do exist I really hope man doesn't discover it because they'll just lock it up for show and eventually wipe it off the face of the earth.

Sharks are not actually that big human-killers though, The statistics are a lot loawer than you'd think.
The beleif of the opposite is born from a collective fear of the deep and monsters.

Yeah I hear statistically that you're more likely to be killed by a coconut falling on your head than you are by a shark.
That fact never seems to bring me any comfort though.
I guess the idea of THUD, lights out doesn't compare with me to being eaten alive in the water while i'm half drowning and screaming for help.
I'd go with the shark every time
Am i bad

personaly i don't want to end up as chum.
just think of the atlantic ocean its that deep some scientists are afraid to go down there...im pretty obsessed with sea monsters so i know quite a bit about the seas...i also like reading about the leviathan...now thats one amazing sea creature...imagine if that still existed...plus the fact that its mentioned in the hebrew bible about having a fierce battle with the behemoth on judgement day...my god it makes it so much cooler
got a link to that story?
In the Christian bible it talks about a creature with a long neck able to snap trees in half. Now theres only one thing I can think of and thats a dinosaur but werent they suppossed to be dead then hmm... just a cool thing I found.

The "leviathan" the Bible talks about in Job 41 is described as the greatest creature in the sea. Unlike a crocodile or fish, it was useless to try to catch a leviathan with hooks, harpoons or anything else. "Nothing on earth is his equal--a creature without fear" (Job 41:33, NIV).
creature very much like these was reported during World War I by a German submarine. Captain Georg von Forstner described what happened:
"On July 30, 1915, our U28 torpedoed the British steamer Iberian carrying a rich cargo in the North Atlantic. The steamer sank quickly, the bow sticking almost vertically into the air. When it had gone for about twenty-five seconds there was a violent explosion. A little later pieces of wreckage, and among them a gigantic sea animal (writhing and struggling wildly), was shot out of the water to a height of 60 to 100-feet. At that moment I had with me in the conning tower my officers of the watch, the chief engineer, the navigator, and the helmsman. Simultaneously we all drew one another's attention to this wonder of the seas...we were unable to identify it. We did not have time to take a photograph, for the animal sank out of sight after ten or fifteen seconds. It was about 60-feet long, was like a crocodile in shape and had four limbs with powerful webbed feet and a long tail tapering to a point." cool thing I thought.

A few months back I watched a show on the Discovery Channel about a shark that lived 25 to 1 million years called Megaladon, which dwarved a Great White at about 50 feet in length, although it is supposed to be extinct now, how possible is it that this creature or one like it could be lurking in the sea today?
It is not proven that Megalodon Sharks are extinct.The Megalodon Shark lived up to 70 million years ago. Weighed up to 5 or 6 tons. Length was about 70 ft. People get there facts all wrong. They have no clue. 5 have done reasherched Sharks for about 4 or 5 years.So I would not trust Discovery Channels facts.Go to www.sharkattacks.com they have real shark facts.I have a picture of a Megalodon Shark for my back ground.

HELLO!!!, Its the newbie here, and this happens to be one of my favorite topics.
The survival of Megoladon today is highly debateable. Myself, I think there is a possibility. As humans, we know more about space than our earths oceans. WHO KNOWS whats down there. It may not even be the great Meg at all but a sub species that may have addapted to great depths, like the Marianas Trench. It could be a smaller version, or lord forbid, a Larger version of the Meg.
I have a question, Im a member of several other forums on cryptozoology, ghosts and such. Am I allowed to post the names of these forums here?
I am glad I found this site,
Im happy to be here.
