The shark is a submarine. Is the mysterious predator alive - megalodone?

Most scientists-ichthyologists believe that the terrible white sharks, called "megalodon," have long been extinct. However, there are theories and facts that say that the shark-submarine (as this subspecies of white sharks call it) still lives somewhere in the abyss of ocean depths inaccessible to humans. Let's try to understand this issue, based on the records of scientists, their findings and theories.

The Story of David George Stead

David George Stead was one of the most famous and respected scientists in the field of ichthyology. It was his story, published after his death, that became a sensation and allowed to doubt that the white shark-submarine does not exist.

In 1918, a young scientist worked in Australia and was responsible for fishing on the Southern Shores. At this time a letter comes from the large port to the state agency in charge of fishing, which requires a thorough check of one sensitive issue. Fishermen claimed that near the shores of Australia, there is a terrible creature, an unknown fish, which is so threatening that they all are afraid to go to sea.

Awful meeting

A heart-rending story awaited him on the shore ... The fishermen on the ship went to sea and went to the place where they were fixed in the depths of the lobster trap. Divers, descending into the depths, in order to unhook the cables of the traps, climbed upward with incredible speed. Quickly scrambling to the deck, they reported that in the depths of a huge shark. Divers told that the shark easily absorbed traps with a catch one after another. But they were fixed with steel cables! And it did not bother her at all. Suddenly a shark appeared before the eyes and the rest of the fishing team. Forgetting the catch, they quickly started the engines and left the terrible place.

Of course, as a scientist, David George Stead realized that sharks with a body length of more than thirty meters can not exist. But it was useless to lie to the frightened fishermen. Go and check, get some kind of evidence no one dared. The fishermen flatly refused to go out to sea.

Vessel "Rachel Cohen"

After several decades, the shark-submarine (as fishermen nicknamed it for incredible dimensions) reminded of itself again. In 1954, again off the coast of Australia, the ship "Rachel Cohen" stopped at the port for repair and "general cleaning". When the ship was cleared of numerous shells, then found seventeen huge teeth. Each tooth, according to eyewitnesses, was more than eight centimeters in size. The scientists established that they could not belong to anybody except the megalodon shark. For reference: the length of the tooth of an ordinary white shark is only three to five centimeters.

Terrible beings nature has not yet created

According to scientists, a large white shark-submarine is the most terrible, bloodthirsty and frightening offspring of Mother Nature. According to estimates, its length ranges from twenty to thirty-five meters, and the weight figures range from fifty to one hundred tons. Sperm whales, considered to be one of the largest inhabitants of the sea depths, are just a snack for megalodone. It is difficult to imagine what size the mouth has a shark-submarine, if the whale is ten meters long - easy daily production for dinner.

Scientists have found huge teeth throughout the world for many decades. This is another indication that a white shark-submarine exists and has an incredible territorial size of settlement.

Even scary to imagine a monster of such a huge size, compared to which a man is just a small grain of sand. The shark-submarine, a photo of which scientists recreated thanks to findings and theories, is a terribly ugly creation. It has a broad-skeleton skeleton, massive jaws, in which five rows of teeth and a stupid "snout" hides. They even joke that megalodon is like a pig. Involuntarily you start to rejoice that these creatures have died out.

And whether they died out?

Scientists-geologists recognize animals extinct only when there are no "news" of them for 400 thousand years. However, the stories of fishermen from the Australian port, teeth found on the ship "Rachelle Cohen" teeth - all this proves the fact that the shark-submarine exists. The teeth were subjected to numerous studies, and the result was that they belong to megalodone.

And the "teeth" of the terrible giant were not even properly petrified. They are ten to eleven thousand years old. Understand the difference: 400 thousand and 11 thousand years! It turns out that somewhere in the depths of the ocean still exists and the white shark-submarine feels fine. Evidence of existence of which is found quite often. And this is about something yes it says.

By the way, for example, a goblin shark, which for many years was considered extinct, was discovered in 1897 in the World Ocean. A whale shark, in the existence of which also long did not believe, was enrolled in 1828. Maybe the shark-submarine is waiting for its time somewhere.

How could they not be noticed?

It would seem that such a huge size of the animal just can not be unnoticed for decades. Huge creatures would certainly have been seen from the shore, to the shallows or from the stern of the ship. But if you think about it, the impressive dimensions of these giants simply do not allow them to swim close to the shore. It's too small for them.

In addition, a shark-submarine can safely exist in the sea depths. For example, the largest animals - sperm whales - live quietly at a depth of three kilometers. A man can not get to such depth, even despite the development of modern submarines. Such depths are simply not yet available to us. And if you compare the size of sperm whales and sharks-submarines, then the latter clearly benefit. Consequently, the depth of their immersion can be much greater than the "unpretentious" three kilometers.
