@@thatspinoguy4862 You have no idea how many times Ive been attacked for simply answering a question from someone. People prefer their online likes than doing or saying the right thing.
1:31 Well, 2000 years, 2 million years, honestly what's the difference? Time passes fast when you're dead and the Meg sure is. What is NOT dead tho (and that's even more miraculous than a Megalodon that somehow survived the extinction of it's species) are all those Megalodon theories on the internet. And that honestly blows my mind everytime.
it's also a pain to find decent animal reference images/photography online now, almost every search result shows AI slop, it's so fucking annoying. putting -ai at the end of my searches sometimes helps, but some AI images still weasel their ways into the results. it's especially bad when trying to find reptile images.
If megalodon was still around, we would have already seen them. Being Surface hunters who prays on whales, there would have already been a noticeable decline of big cetaceans if they were still around
He was taking specifically about the Megalodon. It lived over 2 mya, every animal he tries to find went extinct in the last 100 or so and had people saying they saw it. There’s a big difference and not ironic.
@@flyingcat7145 It is definitely still ironic, especially since he still only did minimal research. A few google searches can prove quite a few things that he says wrong, although he does get much more correct than I'd expect from a typical theory channel (or even him for that matter). Additionally, there are always people saying they saw things that are most certainly extinct. And just because something went extinct in the last 100 years does NOT mean that it could still be out there. In fact, in many cases we have more evidence. Take for example the Coelacanth; It was a cave dwelling fish that we had evidence for from millions of years ago, and had presumed it to have gone extinct. A few years ago, some were found. In comparison, the Tasmanian Tiger we have seen die out; We have personally witnessed their populations dwindle, destroyed their habitat, and even had the last one in captivity. We have much more evidence for it's death than we did for the Coelacanth. It is so much more likely for the Tasmanian Tiger to be extinct than it was for the Coelacanth. This was not just due to the time period, but also the place they lived, the remaining amount of habitats, population size, etc. Most of the stuff that Forest covers actually have a much higher chance of being spotted, and if they were, there would be a video or something. Another example is the Stellar Sea Cow; It stays near the surface. It is very unlikely that there is ANY surface dwelling sea creature that we haven't discovered, much less one as large as it was. So yes, there is a big difference. Forest talks about animals that we have more evidence for, have witnessed the extinction of, and have been able to find quite clearly considering there are about 8 billion of us. There isn't really any difference when talking about the Megalodon, other than Forest does just enough research to make him almost seem believable.

5:03 Idk if James knows this but beavers are a keystone species because the dams they build significantly alter the environment, thus have a significant impact on the other organisms that live there. Basically a keystone species is a species that has a disproportionately huge impact in its ecosystem. For instance, if lemmings were insantly eliminated, it would significantly alter the tundra ecosystems. On the other hand, the loss the cirl bunting would have little consequence because similar birds will fill whatever role it once held.
There should be a tool integrated into youtube that notify's viewers that the content they are watching is either entirely AI, has some remnants of AI and is AI free. It would probably also save money to advertisers who can deside where to spend their advertising budgets on.
I think there should be a push for wildlife educators to be more against ai. Because a lot of non-paleontology fans can be confused easily by this kinds of videos.
It must be noted that the whales megalodon hunted where smaller generally, and indeed cooling temps seemed to cause an increase in whale size as productivity around the poles increased( albeit iirc this happened after mega fish died). Orcas likely didn’t have much of a hand in it (after all at the time they themselves where much smaller) but around the time megalodon died whale diversity did decrease, which likely played a part and caused more competition with ancestral great whites. Plus the forming of the isthmus of Panama did likely knock out a very important breeding sight for megalodon
Love you vids since i was a kid, back then when i was with my Biological mother, now we're far away. Been doing great, but i can't help but cry when i see your channel. The nostalgia is overwhelming.
@@godzilla44556 imagine spending youre whole life learning a talent/skill and then all youre effort turns to dust when a skilles and soules thing takes your skill and more people pay atention to it
We love the Meg, we all wish there was somehow it was still alive, but its extremely obvious that it did go extinct and it is very much D E A D which means DEAD.
Beaver, I thought I should get you know that there's this Jurassic Park Roblox game in the works called fallen ashes and there's going to be a 3-day period where the games open to the public. It's not confirmed when, but I recommend a channel called Silent he does new on Roblox games like dinosaurs and Godzilla. He will be letting people know when this event will happen but I really think you check it out it's a beautiful fan game.
6:25 The theory is that juvenile megalodons which lived in shallow warm waters as they grew got outcompeted by sharks like the great white as they became more prolific in its territory. Adult great whites would eat young megs as well, so that paired with the strain on the adult population from the changing climate and scarcer food is a theory for why they went extinct. These super large animals usually occupy a different niche during their youth, i dont think the argument hes trying to communicate was based on great whites and orcas eating adult meg prey
Fish tank in the background :: the light could be off if he's recording at night. fish need a day / night cycle too, can't leave the light on all the time! That said, that tank still looks way small for the species of fish that are in there
Used to be a GamingBeaver Fan For a while, probably since 2017, watched on my mom's phone lol? I remember 2mil subs. Congratulations Beaver. You've come far!! Keep going.
The bit about him saying colder temperature= bigger shark and then immediately saying colder temperature equals smaller fish makes me think that he had an AI to generate his scripts
I like how other animals like Dunkleosteus, Kaprosuchus, Sebecid Crocodilians, Anamolocaris, Sacabambaspis, Azdarchid Pterosaurs and Terror Birds are also getting some love now
Shark tooth fossils tend to be dark. It is because a lot of the organic material in the bone has been replaced with minerals from the surrounding soil. Megalodon tooth sizes vary from not just the age of the shark it came from (size of the shark), but also according to where the tooth was located on its jaw. The teeth toward the middle being the largest with them getting smaller and smaller as you get closer to the sides.
8:37 its actually a statue in a ocean place I have a photo of it and was hanging up and you had to walk under it or a side it I don't remember alot about it.
Honestly I don't even know what to think anymore tho it's kinda hard 😞😭 also great videos man you were my childhood favorite thank you and keep it up 😊💯💞 never stop growing 💕💗
The reason that the tooth he was holding up was small was because on the far sides of the jaws of sharks today like great whites have smaller teeth than what you see in the front.
The problem with the nursery theory is that Great White sharks still exist. My conclusion from that is that during the extinction, the ecosystem still supported sharks in general up to the size of the Great White, including young Megalodon up to that size. So up until then young Megalodon should be good and growing bigger from there should have been the problem. Of course I'm skipping a lot of details, like niche partitioning, but I think it's worth mentioning.

Not good
Horrible
no
horrible as hell
Hate it

The timing is impeccable since like just a while back goji center posted a video going over all the reasons megalodon should not exist.

YEEESS double trouble is back
Edit goji centre uploaded a video yesterday about why the megalodon can’t exist today:)
The reason that the tooth he was holding up was small was because on the far sides of the jaws of sharks today like great whites have smaller teeth than what you see in the front.
(video ideas) try not to laugh animals / try not to get scared animals / path of titans bat and ant
The problem with the nursery theory is that Great White sharks still exist. My conclusion from that is that during the extinction, the ecosystem still supported sharks in general up to the size of the Great White, including young Megalodon up to that size.
So up until then young Megalodon should be good and growing bigger from there should have been the problem.
Of course I'm skipping a lot of details, like niche partitioning, but I think it's worth mentioning.

I mean I don’t hate all of AI. It has its place, and that place isn’t art.

I find it funny how Forrest stated that the one shark shown is a Salmon shark, yet Beaver still went “Is that a porbeagle ?”
There’s also a channel called “Jackiemcre” that just mashes together a bunch of clips and makes uses AI to make it a story.
Forest is the only guy on Beaver's mind😏
NOT TRUE! he things about me toooo!
Also, Forrest was saying imagine that tooth he was holding was a lot larger. He never claimed it was a megalodon tooth.

There are a lot of cases where smaller, but similar animals, outcompeted the larger animals which lead to the larger animals' extinction.
I prefer hand art over AI anyday. They put in so much thought into it and takes hours, days, months even for artist to get what they want.
