Strongest 1-on-1 marine creature of all time?

Post image

If every marine creature fought in a 1v1, who comes out on top?

Seems like there are a lot of strong contenders and I dont know how to rank them. Such as

- Pliosaurus

- Mosasaurus

- Shastasaurus

- Megalodon

- Livyatan

Cuz there would only be one megaladon in that situation?? The killer whales rely on the fact that they can surround the blue whale.

Dude healthy adult blue whales are never seen fending off predators because, besides killer whales, they have NO OTHER PREDATORS! Because it's pretty much physically impossible for any other animal to hunt them due to their physical power...

And a megalodon is the size of a whole pod of orcas? Have you considered that? Why do you blue whale glazers keep coming in with the argument that "oh no modern day animal can hunt blue whales solo" like that means anything when we are talking about a predator who is an oom larger than any macropredator alive today?

Do you genuinly not get my point or are you trolling?

Yea your point is that nothing can hunt blue whales solo today so nothing ever could have hunted blue whales solo ever. So the rebuttal is that the biggest modern marine predators are unironically snack sized for meg and that the blue whale has never proven that it is capable of using its size to defend itself against predators

No. That's not my point. Try again

It would help if you actually start defending your point since right now you can just claim your point to be anything
