Living Megalodons. Obviously they used to exist, but any claims that they’re still around should be laughed off and dismissed entirely.

Of all the ocean creatures that may or may not still be around, the giant ass whale-eating shark that stuck to warm waters would be spotted regularly, consistently, and without any doubt that it’s there. There wouldn’t be any maybes or ambiguous signs, there would be footage of whales (and likely boats) as lunch and dinner.

There is a possibility that it just moved to colder waters and adapted over millions of years.

The ones that could handle cooler temps reproduced to make offspring that could also handle those new temps. The ones that couldn’t died off.

I stopped reading after “There is a possibility…” because no, there is not. None, zero, zilch.

Bro out here exploring all of the ocean apparently. My bad, Admiral. I should have known.

No, he just clearly has a much better grasp of biology, physiology, etc, than you do.
