VIDEO: Long Lost Megalodon Appears on the Beach!

Megalodon is disappeared shark species, considered one of the most dangerous in the world, who lived about 28-1.5 million years ago in the Cenozoic Era. According to scientists, the oldest fossils are about 15.9 million years old. But can history be rewritten?

“I got a note from Bryan HD Gaming last week. It said,

“Hey, Bill I watched this vid of a Megalodon washed up on a beach. Is it real… or is this fake?

Well, Bryan — I looked at the video and to be honest when I first saw it, I thought it was a whale… but as I stopped the video and looked closer, it didn’t have the markings of any whale I know.

For the most part, whales don’t have midbody dorsal fins like a shark with the exception of a killer whale. But then a killer whale is black and white in color. This creature is gray… more like.. you guessed it… a shark.

There were many avenues I could have investigated, but the one I chose had to do with this logo right here at the bottom… This was a news piece originally presented by CNN or Cable News Network.

Now when I see something like this and the original soundtrack has been removed, it makes me very suspicious.

Hopping over to CNN, I looked around and found my match. On July 15th, 2009, CNN did a story on a basking shark that washed ashore. Even though the video was no longer available, the still picture was obviously a screen grab from the original video.

Basking sharks are the second biggest fish in the ocean behind whale sharks. This one weighed an estimated 5,000 lbs or 2,267 Kilos. I was measured at 26 feet 6 inches long or 8 meters.

It washed ashore on Long Island Beach in New York State. It was still alive when authorities from the New York office of parks and recreation arrived but died soon after. There were no signs of injury from a boat strike or anything like that. Why it died remains unknown.

So Bryan, in regards to your question about whether the video on youtube claiming it is a Megalodon is real or not… I guess you already know the answer.”

According to Wikipedia, the Animal Planet fictional documentary, Mermaids: The Body Found, included an encounter 1.6 million years ago between a pod of mermaids and a C. megalodon. Later, in August 2013, the Discovery Channel opened its annual Shark Week series with another film for television, Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives, a controversial docufiction about the creature that presented alleged evidence in order to suggest that C. megalodon was still alive. This program received criticism for being completely fictional; for example, all of the supposed “scientists” depicted were paid actors. In 2014 Discovery re-aired The Monster Shark Lives, along with a new one-hour program, Megalodon: The New Evidence, and an additional fictionalized program entitled Shark of Darkness: Wrath of Submarine, resulting in further backlash from media sources and the scientific community.
