Summary

Could the terrifying predator Megalodon still lurk in the ocean’s depths, or did it vanish millions of years ago?
In this episode, we dive into the evidence surrounding the legendary giant shark.
From a 1918 lobster fisherman’s account of a 300-foot shark to modern TikTok conspiracies, the possibility of Megalodon’s survival is greatly debated.
While the Megalodon, the largest shark, likely became extinct due to climate cooling and dwindling prey, people keep trying to make the Meg a thing. Join us as we explore the facts, myths, and modern shark encounters to determine if this legend holds water.
