I want to shove every megalodon-enthusiast headfirst into a wood-chipper. It’s the lowest IQ animal fan club in the world and it’s the most overrated predator to have ever existed>muh big shark! very big very scary! hmgg hurr durrrrrrrThere are far more successful apex predators alive RIGHT NOW. The orca fucking wipes the floor with the corpse of the megalodon and nobody goes>ooowiii orcas so scewy!Not to forget the fucking livyatan which actually hunted megs.So it is beyond me why this stupid ass fish still has an almost cult-like following, inspiring movies and what not, even tho it’s just the most overrated nothingburger of a predator to have ever existed.
>>4893371>Not to forget the fucking livyatan which actually hunted megs.Do you have a single fact to back that up? like megalodon cartilage found inside livyatan stomachs?
>>4893371All the fun stuff is worms.
>>4893371Absolutely my brother, I agree.>>4893400Anomalocaris and large "arthropods" are the great things in life, yes>>4893383There are cool worms but not thaaat many
>>4893382More likely the adults kept a fair distance from each other to avoid the MAD scenario, Livyatan probably did prey on young Megalodons though, as did older Megalodons. Just skimming through evidence that the Minke Whale might have both Balaenopterid and Balaenid ancestry from a hybridisation event in the Miocene.
lol
shark?
>>4893428The Livyatan was a Whale-Eating Sperm Whale.
Its so funny to me that there are animal hipsters getting angry that people tend to like big charismatic animals that they have heard of
>>4893371That pic orignates from roblox trading servers. What the fuck are you doing here?
>>4893371Tyrannofag are worse
>>4893474seethe harder spinocel, GREATEST LIVING LAND PREDATOR (not counting humans)
>>4893481>LIVINGAnon I hate to be the one to break it to you
>>4893371>nobody goes ooowiii orcas so scewy!Yes they do, in fact you just did yourself>even tho it’s just the most overrated nothingburger of a predator to have ever existedIt had the highest known trophic level of any animal. Bait or seething over a dead fish, which is sadder?
>megalodon art>just a great white shark
>>4893633It's wild when Jurassic World makes a more unique Meg.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpWw0Xi0cJs
>>4893371Listen here you miserable little shit. Megalodon was the greatest apex predator to ever live, and he will not be shit talked by a onions limp wristed little faggot like yourself. Why don't you go and out yourself for the massive faggot you are huh? How many posts is it going to take?Orcas are gay little retards. A megalodon would destroy an orca. A great white at parity would destroy an orca, you stupid little bitch faggot. Your opinions are based on browsing reddit no earlier than 2019. There is no solid core of understanding of animals beneath it you stupid little dilettante. Fuck you.What next you noodle armed little faggot? Herbivores need more representation in dinosaur media? Fuck you, herbivores are a disgrace, and they are not "hecking valid". Herbivorous dinosaurs are ugly. Quadrupedal dinosaurs are disgusting. Herbivorous dinosaurs are either slow or ugly. They cannot initiate violence and therefore and not main characters but rather sacks of flesh to be slaughtered before the will to power.What next you little bitch? All your animal preferences are a reflection of how deeply weak, unconfident, ugly, uninteresting, and impotent you are. Skinny little bitch with a feminine layer of fat. Stop showing your disgusting noddle arms in public it's like looking at a human disability, like walking into a hospice center. Disgusting freak.
>>4893371>Megalodon is cringe Lol wut
>>4893654oh yeah, this is going in the copypasta folder
>>4893679Really? This is what your weak ass brings to the table? No wonder you're facially a 3/10 at best you diseased imbecile. Being forced to look at ugly people (aka you) on a daily basis is literally a warcrime it's bad for the soul. (No comma intended there in purpose)Triceratops? Triceratops has an inherently hideous look to it. Its wide jew hips and fat rotund body make it unbearably nauseating to behold. Corpulent taillet retard.Hippos are disgusting for similar reasons. The attempt to rehabilitate herbivores as "le heckkin cool" is exactly analogous to SJWs wanting to cast niggers in movies in completely out of place roles (i.e. competent, intelligent people).You literally talk like a retarded little 14 year old squeaker you're obviously underage you faggot there's no hiding it I could even point to what exact moments in the sentence give it away.Blue whales don't even fight back when predated upon. An impotent animal like that is severely limited in its appeal. Your orca gibberish goes to show how much of a fucking idiot you are when it comes to reality and how you foresee all of this as being a pokemon battle. You have no grounding in the realistic movement of physical bodies through space. Not once has the thought of imperfect bites and limited grip crossed your smooth little underaged peabrain. Orcas take 6 hours or more to kill a fin whale (which doesn't even fight back) and that's with 20-30 of them. There is no case of orcas killing a healthy adult male of any of the whale species that actually fight back, and that's against an animal far smaller and less aggressive than megalodon."It's longer than megalodon".Arrogant little youtube fuck making claims without the faintest idea of what you're talking about. You literally just pulled something out of your ass hoping it'd be true. Really wearing your insecure idiocy. Every single serious estimate of both livyatan and megalodon's size results in the former being both the shorter and smaller.
>>4893749i'm going to risk looking like a dumbass and believing you're actually 14.so you're new to the "internet" thing. what you are responding to is known as "bait". there are people, myself included, who go full retard or way over the top for the sake of a laugh, whether at the absurdity of the bait itself, or the degree to which the bait is taken. you're being laughed at right now. remember what site your on, and know if anyone talks the way >>4893703 does about something as stupid as a dead oversized shark, its either bait or someone not worth spending your impressionable years arguing with.
>>4893786>And yes I am actually 14 years oldEither epic troll or spiel: you must be 18 to post here
>>4893519>he doesn't know
>>4893654Based, /thread
>>4893371I want to shove every megalodon-hater headfirst into a megalodon
>zoomzoom gets bored playing and trading on roblox>hears about the super edgy site 4chan from one of his friends>goes to /an/ because he loves power scaling animals like every sterotypical young boy ever>uses a roblox discord trading meme as the OP pic >>4893749>"Holy shittocks take a fucking chill pill. Yes you are right, I am 14, but at least I don’t go full roid rage over big sharks.I have to put up with my lil bro trying to shark other kids on roblox 24/7, I dont need "brokies" who got sucked into the corporate pyramid scheme and spat out shitting up this board too. Fuck off and go and hoard legits or stas or whatever the fuck limited you kiddos use to scam eachother with.
>>4893814you have to admit he's mature for a 14 year old
>>4893825Not really, comes across as your basic prepubescent shitheel.
>>4893593> It had the highest known trophic level of any animal.Highly debatable. The Livyatan was likely at the same level but was more agile, making it a better hunter overall.
>>4893703Orcas (and even dolphins) effectively kill great white sharks by ganging up on them. All shark species are terrified of orcas by instinct.>hurr durr that’s unfair!Not my problem that your retarded animal didn’t evolve a brain to engage in social behavior. Very sad!
>>4894060Livyatan’s trophic level isn’t known
>>4893448How do you even know it's from a Roblox trading server?
>>4894263see the little arrow next to the post number?click it and be amazed.
>>4893448That's from a roblox game where you play as a shark or a diver. The shark player here is begging for a win.
>>4893654Dangerous levels of based.
>>4893654kek based.
Orcas are the definition of big fish in small pond. A massive pod of orcas spent hours attacking a pair of gray whales, whales that are about 12-14m long, 15-20 tons at most.They had to give up...Orcas are only impressive because we don't have a macropredstory animal alive today.The Meg? If the 23cm danish centra is accurqte, you got a 22-24m 140 ton meg, the 26cm brazilian centra? 25-27m 200 ton Meg.That's a shark that could feed upon animals that could feed upon Orcas. Thats two trophic levels above your faggy sea panda. A hundred Orcas could mob it for a day while the Meg slept, they would not even be able to get through it's skin.Sorry dolohin fucker, whales are shit animals.
>>4895153>Orcas are the definition of big fish in small pond.You could say this about terrestrial apex predators too. Lions, tigers, crocodiles, wolves, etc can get curbstomped by elephants or gored by rhinos or buffalo. What makes you think any of them would have a chance against the larger dinosaurs?
>>4895474Nobody is seriously thinking that lions, tigers or bears are the most powerful predator in earth's history, and that if they came face to face with a 6+ ton theropod they could easily predate it. Can you say the same for an Orca fan?
>>4894433it just shows 3 boxes of text. what is amazing about that?
>>4895153The meg literally died out because it was outrun by the ancestors of the orca.Weak post, megshill
>>4896875>ancestors of the orca.You mean irrelevant dolphin sized cucks that were literal fodder until the power vacuum caused by the megalodon dying off due to it's prey escaping north?
>>4896886Whalefags don't know what Orcas looked like 3-4 million years ago.Personally, I think a cooling climate made the shallow nursing areas of the Meg unavailable as sea levels can go down over 100m during an ice age. This would be devastating, as now their young do not have protected shallows to feed and grow in before entering the much more competative and dangerous deep waters. No doubt, many more meg young were preyed upon by adult Megs. It would devastate their populations.If at the same time their primary food source started seeking refuge in the arctic waters, where adult megs simply could not find nurseries (The young would not be capable of surviving those temperatures) Then it is easy to imagine how they died out.
