megladon, animal planet.

Post Reply New Topic

Any one just watch the special they had on animal planet about megladon? I think it's coming on again! f*****g awesome!

Basically strange events have been happening in warmer regions of the of the world. Whales with bite marks half way through them washing up on beaches. And a fishing trolley was sunk near South Africa, they thought initially that a whale had breeched and capsized it but determined that it was actually rammed from below, the way a shark attacks.

Add to that a few pictures of dorsal fins six feet high, both recent and historical and local legends of sharks anywhere from over 30 to 75 feet long. Some marine biologist think it is megladon, a shark thought to have been extinct 2000000 years that could grow up to 100 feet long.

Some think megladon is a lazerus taxon, an animal thought to have gone extinct then reappeared at a later date. A tooth was found recently from a megladon that was radio carbon dated to be about 10,000 years old.

In recent years changes of the ocean floor and shore line caused my massive quakes and super storms along with climate change have forced many animals to seek out new habitats and change migration patterns. It is believed these factors may have forced megladon in to new hunting grounds and led to encounters with people. How awesome is that?!

Didn't see that. It said some parts had been dramatized but nothing about being fake.

Wanna Megalodon.

I lost all faith in Animal Planet after seeing that. They were trying to pass it off as a real documentary just like the mermaids (documentary).

Have you seen that Finding Bigfoot show? I watched 1 episode of that rubbish. And then they have that Call Of The Wild man crap. But that looked like a real documentary and so little is known about the oceans. I have half a mind to write them a letter but they wouldn't read it anyway.

I saw somewhere that that mermaid fakeumentary was one AP's most watched programs ever. Not that I like the trend, either, but it looks like money is going to keep pushing AP in that direction.

I suppose the real problem is people being vastly more interested in mermaids than actual sea life.

Back in my day, the Discovery Channel was full of astronomy and wild-animal documentaries, and the History Channel actually featured history.

Boy am I old.

Who ever made that chart forgot about history channels shows about ancient aliens based on flying saucers photoshopped into pictures of historic paintings.
