Teeth and jaw. Although current evidence suggests that the Great white is more closely related to the mako shark than the Megaladon. So it would be a case of parallel evolution.
After seeing the video again and still being no expert and not sure I noticed another thing that doesnt make sense. They say megalodon goes deeper to where his attackers can not follow. I thought sperm whales were giant squid hunters and therefore deep diving "experts" with strong enough echolocation to detect an animal in that environment, should it be a giant squid or a giant shark. Once again, correct me if I am wrong. But I think these guys picked the wrong whale.
Someone correct me if I wrong, but how can a huge predactor catch by surprise an animal capable of echolocation, and therefore capable of detecting a large animal like megalodon in the nearby for miles, even underwater?! maybe I dont understand the limitations of echolocation. gonna read on that. But just noticed all megalodon whale hunter theories I read/saw ignored this factor.
probably you are right. As for not developed echolocation, since almost all modern whales have it, most likely it was developed by a much more ancient whale species (probably around dorudon time, 30 million years ago).
Curiously tho I also read once that besides the echolocation whales got very sharp tactical sense in general and that allows them detect sounds and pressure changes in all directions (a mega beast like megalodon hardly could swim without causing vibrations). And watching walking with beasts' first episode I noticed that paleontologists suggest that it might have been present in ambulocethos (55-50 million years ago). This JFC episode refers to 2-3 million years ago I guess.
@quintanafaj2009 yes, but on other of my comments I pointed out that beside that Whales also got extremely sharp hearing and tactil (not tactical as i wrongly spell on the original comment), probably since the time of ambulocetos (60 million years ago). That said, that would make extremely hard for a huge animal like megalodon to approach without the noise (even if just infrasounds) go without being noticed. I would guess would not be ambush but chase like killer whales chase other whales today.
@PTphoenixUK but megalodon was to large to chase down animals. i think it was a fast attack like how great whites attack seals at Seal island of south Africa. Fast and from underneath
@quintanafaj2009 (comment too long) Just wanted to say that despite killer whales going on silent mode (stop the callings) when approaching their preys, other whales are always aware of their approach even when dozen of miles away (and a killer whale is much smaller than megalodon was). It is just that killer whales are faster than the other whales. Probably megalodon had speed on his side too.
whales r better n a bull sperm would eat thar over grown tuna 4 breakfast n whales these days r armed with teeth unlike a few thousand years ago wen whales hadn't evolved teeth yet. so basicalt this vid is full of shit cz a male sperm whale wuld make a meal out ov this fish well dats wot i think but dats just my opion
yes, baleen whales (toothless, mysticeti suborder) showed up much later. the oldest species from 25 million years ago, Aetiocetus being the oldest known genus, against first toothed whales dating from 45-49 million years ago.
d3r0n, what they mean by "Megladon doesn't need air", is that he doesn't need to surface to breathe. He uses the oxygen in the water, like any other shark.
but his book is used in science classes here in FL. also he used REAL detail. scientists spoke about his novel and th edetail in how meg COULD be alive is all true. all of that is possible, but one thing. we still need to see the MEG in it lol. and a good food source for it since giant squid are the only thing there and they could attack sperm whles that go down there but not alot. online, the only thing that was fiction was the meg being alive and the t-rex since meg lived after the dinos
@Republic19864 lol, you forget, the Megaladon also has razor sharp serrated teeth, or w/e the word is, Meaning the megaladon could crush bone, and tear flesh FROM bone within seconds.

It is possible that at that point in time the Sperm Whale had not evolved that ability.

You make a good point.
dun498 2 years ago
My understanding of it is they can only send there echolocation foward so an animal would be completely unnoticed if they were above below or behind.

@PTphoenixUK the echolocation only works with thinks in front of the whale. Megelodon attacked from underneath the whale

Whales had teeth back then. They desended from land mammals which had teeth. Why wouldn't they have teeth?

Meg can actually be over 70 feet long according to Steve Alten. The largest tooth found was indicated to have belonged to an 80ft long meg
