These Japanese Researchers May Have Photographic Evidence Of A Megalodon Shark

For a while now, a video has been lurking in the deep recesses of the Internet that claims to contain footage of a megalodon (a giant shark that’s thought to be extinct). It was captured by Japanese scientists.

Many cryptozoologists are eager to use this as irrefutable proof of the ancient predator’s continued existence, but YouTuber AllThings Creepy isn’t convinced. Check out his testimony against this being a megalodon. The kid makes some good points, but are they enough to debunk the footage?

I’m no shark expert, but I think he has a point here. Due to the hunting of whales, many species are on the endangered list, so how would a megalodon be able to get enough food? Sorry, cryptophiles — this one might just be a regular old shark.
