Its not really even a given that The Meg could beat a Great White. Size doesn't always help, Megalodon may have the strongest bite force but their size and mobility would hurt them going against Great White who can practically turn on a dime.
@@lutherheggs451 "Size doesn't always help." In this case it surely does. Mobility doesn't matter in this scenario as the megalodon would be so much larger that it would move faster than the white in the first place. There's a reason taller people are able to move faster. The larger your size, the faster you'll move. Especially when you're essentially a larger form of the smaller species.
@@TermssOSEh... I agree Meg would win but bigger does not always mean faster. Once you get really big it starts kind of going the opposite way because of the sheer amount of drag enacted upon you plus the insane amount of energy it takes to move quickly at that size. There's also the fact there's more to speed than just... Size. For example, someone fatter than you won't move faster than you, but someone taller than you will. Both are bigger, but in totally different ways. If we assume bigger means faster without fail this would make the blue whale the fastest animal to ever live.
@@catpoke9557 We're discussing size, not mass. The megalodon also has the exact same movement capabilities as the white. It was a fast swimmer. Recent studies have shown that it is very likely that the megalodon did prey on the white in the first place for 400,000 years.
@@TermssOSsize doesn’t always make you faster regardless of mass either though. Going back to your example of people, there’s an optimal height for sprinting which is roughly 6ft for men. Being too tall would absolutely start to hinder your speed at a certain point
A basking shark can pick up enough speed and force to fully breach itself from the water. If I was a bull shark, I wouldn’t want to be in the way of that living freight train.
@@sandwich4763 They are generally observed closer to the surface, sometimes high enough to keep their dorsal fin and tail above the water. They can also be found swimming in large groups, and while they typically do move slow, they can muster insane amounts of speed and energy for their size. If a basking shark is seriously determined to get somewhere, there are very few animals living on earth who can stop it because of its sheer mass.
@@unfortunatelymad980 Ohh, I just noticed, while I read your comment I somehow mixed up Basking Sharks and Greenland Sharks. Still, I didn't know that. I wonder what they would need the speed for. I can't really imagine it would be a predation adaptation, as the only animal I can think of that could be dangerous to them would be orcas.
@sandwich4763 well they are closely related to other mackerel sharks (great whites, makos, etc) so perhaps it's something residual from their ancestors. [Too my knowledge which might be wrong] I haven't researched enough but just from viewing a miocene ancestor species itt seems basking sharks had proper teeth to hunt at some point so perhaps the musculature and mobility is something they didn't lose but just rarely use. It was cetorhinus huddlestoni that has the teeth.

My dad is older and very grateful for the one working eye he still has, now I want to tell him he can be grateful it wasn't from a crustacean.
In light of Clint's recent comments about low viewer count on "The best pet" videos, I can only imagine the mortal dread that creeps in every night that he publishes a reaction to these stupid books.
@@Varadiiothe best pet videos are needed because they educate people on why they should of shouldn't get one. Education is much needed but sadly people don't want to hear it. Either that or TH-cam has a messed up algorithm. I enjoy all of Clint's videos. I don't let TH-cam in most cases give me what they think I'd like I go to the main TH-cam page of each one I follow and watch their full videos.
Cladistics will ruin previously simple terminology for you, because youll realize it's not even just ancestry, its all the biomechanical shenanigans under the hood that are more similar: birds are closer in anatomy to things like raptors than those raptors are to other things that we absolutely can consider dinosaurs, like triceratops. Therefore, we kind of HAVE TO acknowledge them as another group of dinosaurs Or in this case, how a calcified skeleton is a pretty big deal. not just structurally, but for the purpose of being a calcium reservoir
@spindash64 I'm advocating for common use of "non-mammal synapsid" as a term because it annoys me endlessly how almost everyone refers to synapsids as extinct
I love being an adult and getting to learn about all this! Thank you so much for being a FREE source of wildlife information, biology, and science!! I was raised by young Earth creationists, and much of what's taught on this channel woulda gotten me punished for listening to it as a kid. But science is beautiful. Animals (including humans) are amazing, and life is mindblowingly fascinating!! I'll never understand why anybody thinks this kind of learning goes against God. Something even as silly as "which shark would beat all the others?" is a way to better understand and behold the sacred wonder of this "creation." Thanks for being here every weekend. I love this channel!
34:17 to give the artist the benefit of the doubt, I’m pretty sure the rows of teeth “down its throat” are ACTUALLY meant as a sort of motion blur effect; as in, faint afterimages of where the teeth were moments before as the mouth quickly comes toward us, in an attempt to give the illusion of directional motion to a still image
I'm pretty sure it was known they were at least closer to rays than sharks well before DNA sequencing. The position of their gills alone was a big biological indicator. I'm forty years old and even as a kid the books I read always distinguished sawfish from sharks.
Side note, I thought sawfish were extinct for the longest time because they showed up in games I played on Roblox with dinosaurs in them. It still feels bizarre when I see them because they now feel like prehistoric animals to me.
The phrase 'a shark with rabies' just gave me a terrifying thought. Part of rabies is fear of water, imagine being a fish or shark with rabies... in the ocean.
I grew up just south of Daytona Beach, in a house right on the ocean (this was 1,000 years ago, when you could do that without being a billionaire). I can remember many shark-related stories from my childhood, some very sad. But my favorites were the days the fishers would be trying to catch some game fish in the surf but kept catching baby hammerhead after baby hammerhead. They’d grumble and throw them back, just to catch them again a minute later. I loved the baby sharks! They were so adorable-around 2-3’ long and just as weird and cute as you’d imagine 🦈❤
I want to stick up for these books. I have worked in a program that tried to bring challenged readers up to grade-level.1. Tried to find books at kid's reading levels. 2. Tried to find stories that contained diverse and urban characters. 3.Needed to find books that appealed to boys as well as girls. 4. Needed to find books that were gripping page-turners to motivate the reluctant 3rd grader. I know these books are low on probability that these matches would occur in nature. I can also see that you are able to spot little factual errors. These books and their ilk were FANTASTIC materials in my program. Goofy as they are, they were very popular and aided in my overall teaching plan. Side hustle suggestion: Become a paid consultant for the publisher and have a hand in including disclaimers and relevant facts. I will say that for TH-cam content, these are some of your funniest videos. Keep up the good work
"Little" factual errors is a massive understatement. It's not just that the matchups are goofy. That would be fine as long as the facts were true. I think you're making a mistake by encouraging children to read these books. They've taught children that orcas breathe underwater. They've taught children that a leatherback sea turtle could get killed by the venom of the man o' war, even though they're immune to their venom and eat jellyfish as their primary diet. In some of the books they referred to venom as "poison." They made a book about jungle animals and included two animals never found in the jungle. Why would the publisher hire Clint as a consultant? That would be a waste of money to them, they don't care if the books are accurate, all they care about is making money. These books would be fantastic for the reasons you described if they'd spent even just a couple hours doing research. It would be so easy.
Goblin sharks have to be one of the most accurately named animals that isn't just "color on body part". Like you look at that and literally everyone will be "dang, that shark is a goblin"
One thing to note, is when the Great White bit the Greenland shark, it would have likely died from the meat. Being that the Greenland shark has a high ammonia content as an anti-freeze because they live up to two miles under water. Greenlanders have to prepare the meat a certain way to remove the ammonia from it.
Yes that's true, but I'm completely unaware if the high ammonia concentration would in any way affect a white shark. I'm not even certain it is fatality toxic for humans or just makes it nearly impossible to consume due to the unbearable flavor and odor.
@@SingingSealRianaI'm pretty sure they usually dwell in quite deep waters, maybe not the bottom, but still very deep, where they don't have many, if any, natural predators.
Clint, I appreciate you sacrificing your sanity for our entertainment. At the beginning of the video I picked the Great White to win it all, but as a Mizzou TIGER fan I'm really glad the tiger shark won.
Ohhhh. The freshwater/saltwater fish explanation makes perfect sense. I routinely brine poultry/soak cured hams so I’m not a stranger to osmosis but I’d never extended that logic to natural habitats.
I find some value of reviewing these silly books as it gives Clint a natural angle to debunk things and at the same time give us deeper insight of biology.
Clint, I truly believe you are a light in this world! I watch every video of yours, and your mix of wit, science, comedy and just overall personality is one of a kind! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us good sir! 👍🏻
A subspecie of bull shark lives exclusively in Lago Colcibolca in Nicaragua. In that lake you can be met by crocodiles as well fulfilling a pirate Lego set dream of both crocs and sharks in the same water
TBF hammerhead sharks were named about 70 years before airplanes were first discovered, so it makes sense that they wouldn't be named airplane wing sharks.
Yes! I just checked and they were first described by Wilhelm Peter Eduard Simon Rüppell in 1837. I was sure that someone would’ve pointed that out, so I went looking so I could 👍 the comment.
I think the picture of the Great White's teeth in the Greenland battle was supposed to be lines of cavitation bubbles streaming from the tips of the teeth, to convey high speed.
Well, the good news is that there's an Ultimate Pterosaur Rumble coming out in the not-too-distant future, so that'd give us our eight book rumble. Small Shark Rumble vs Bug Rumble Pterosaur Rumble vs Shark Rumble Reptile Rumble vs Ocean Rumble Dinosaur Rumble vs Jungle Rumble
I absolutely love these "Who Would Win" videos! The looks of shock and dismaybon the former videos is so comical. Thank you! I can hardly wait for the next book!
Fun fact, divers in the Caribbean spear invasive lion fish & feed them to sharks so much, when sharks see divers with spear guns, they scrape against the spear gun, then swim to the nearest lion fish because they know the humans will feed them lion fish.
I would love and even buy a "who would win book" from an actual zoologist. As a note, I would also be really interested in Clint's take on Beast Wars, the old show that had animals fight each other on equal terms (I remember watching Nile Crocodile vs Funnel Web, where they scaled both animals to equal size to analyze their hunting strategies) it was really cool
@@headphonesaxolotl Ah yes, Gorilla/Cheetah/Rhinoceros/Rat/Velociraptor vs Tyrannosaurus/Pterodactylus/Tarantula/Wasp/Scorpion. Truly a fight for the ages.
I feel like spiders generally win any engagement if you scale them up. The other animal getting ensnared is a death sentence, and most threats to spiders are simply because they are bigger and can safely eat them.
I want the super cut. I was literally just thinking that I'd love a video of all these stupid rumbles put together, and then you said it. It's not needed. But it is wanted. 😂
I found the lower half of a small Mako jaw walking on the beach when I was a kid. Kept it. One day, my brother and I were hanging out in my room, and mom called us for lunch. When we finished up, we ran back, and I jumped on the bed, where I happened to leave said jaw, which promptly embedded itself in my palm. Took some stitches, but it wasn't the worst. I can't imagine the damage from a mature Mako thrashing its head around would do to a person.
Congrats on the summer camp and C.E. courses! By the way, I ALSO love these videos you do (along with the Best Pets vids). Anytime we get to watch you lose your mind over the inaccuracies in the public zoological knowledgebase zeitgeist.
Hey, Clint, I’d like to say thank you. I’ve been going through a very tough time recently, and have even considered ending my own life. Your videos have offered me a much needed refuge from life that I desperately need right now, as well as reigniting my childhood love of animals and biology. I love to hear you as excited as I am about sharks, dinosaurs, etc. And as much as it pains you, I love these "Who would win?" videos too! Just thank you Clint, I am truly grateful for what you do.
I'm so thankful that you are still here. You sound like my kind of person. I hope we can always be here for you when you need a reminder what a blessing it is to live in this world full of so many incredible things.

9:14 Interestingly the common torpedo (Torpedo torpedo) an electric ray, which the weapon "torpedo" is (rather indirectly) named after is not actually torpedo shaped! Ironically the name torpedo comes from Latin meaing "lethargy" or "sluggishness"; referring to the numbing effect of it's electric shock, and has nothing to do with being sleek and fast.
IIRC, the earliest torpedoes were more like sea mines than underwater rockets, so this kind of makes sense: disguised underwater thing that provides a nasty surprise when touched.
@@Eloraurora yes! I though about mentioning that, but I have already written two 5+ paragraph TH-cam comments today 😅 (ADHD), so I decided to be brief ..
I can't say enough good things about this channel. I work as a para at a local HS (as a 2nd job) and recommend this channel to teachers and students constantly. I haven't crossed a video I haven't enjoyed, and this one is certainly one of the most enjoyable.
I think I've solved the 'fish' conundrum. The answer is that 'fish' simply isn't a scientific term, and trying to fit it into a taxonomy, phylogeny just doesn't make sense. It is in fact a colloquial term that, by definition, includes sharks and tuna, and excludes whales and other mammals. Consider also that 'fish' also incude shellfish, some of which are crustaceans and others molluscs.
Osteichthyes (bony fish) and Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish) are some more scientifically accurate terms to tell "fish" apart. From where I come though, shellfish are totally different and we do not call them fish at all.
34:39 I don’t think this is supposed to represent the shark having rows of teeth down its throat, I’m pretty sure that’s just supposed to be motion blur as the shark opens its mouth.
Pufferfish vs. Angler fish (totally realistic battle that would definitely happen in the Hadal Zone) The Pufferfish is happily cruising in the darkest part of the ocean when it notices a small light. The light intrigues the Pufferfish. Suddenly, the Angler fish attacks! The Pufferfish blows itself up to become pointy. Ouch! The Angler fish is hurt, but still fighting. It chomps down on the Pufferfish and pops it like a balloon. Angler fish wins!!1!
The supercut sounds like a good idea. According to a video by the Spiffing Brit a little while ago, supercuts typically get more views than the individual videos combined, and on top of that also have really good watch times (partially because a lot people just have the video playing in the background while doing something else, or even just while sleeping).
You're the most delightful man i've ever witnessed. your passion energy and thousand favorites of every type of animal has reignited my passion for the sheer variety and beautiful wicked weird adaptations of chance (a passion that has always burned hot but now its a fire hazard). Im an Arizona native and I was embarrassingly excited when i found out you're my older rival to the east (Utah). You're a beautiful beautiful man doing incredible work and you've made the world fresh and exciting again for a recent-adult with little direction. You even make a career in zoology getting to raise cockroaches to see what they do seem viable. I've been noticing my native wildlife again, and how taken aback i was to find out we have velvet ants!!!! i have seen them!!!! they are beautiful and fast and investigative things and i cannot believe i get to see them sometimes!!!! I've finally started putting names to bugs I've known my whole life, like the ten-striped beetle, and it's fascinating to study them armed with fresh knowledge. you can actually see how they press their wings to make their hiss. Now I'm on a quest to figure out the deal with the slippery spotty guys that leave under our overpopulated goatheads. If you've read this far i would very greatly dearly treasure a video about pinacate beetles/eleodes, whatever you call them. I grew up calling them stink bugs so I've much to learn and they might be my favorite creature ever, have been half my life. They're docile, sturdy, surprisingly slow to use their defense mechanism, patiently held and crawling about my hands, always grateful for a sip of water when i accidentally sweep them out from under the couch. They're the only insect in my house that is truly a guest. I'd love to actually be a big smarty pants about my favorite desert trekker, and there's no one I'd rather learn from you. Toxicognaths, my beloved.
It's been a while since my last comment. Regrettably, a number have probably in retrospect, been too long... but I wanted them to be as thorough as necessary to cover all of the interesting points that you bring up in your videos...in those areas that I have had experience with the species that you are covering. I have mentioned this previously, but it still holds true...I have watched and shared more of your videos than any other videos on U-tube. That is, .more than ALL OTHER videos... in all other genre's combined! Somehow, you have managed to cover in the 'Is this best pet snake for you' videos...over 80% of the species of venomous snakes that I have made pet's out of (that I would include on my list)! Your coverage of the King Cobra was superb! In the first third of this video I learned more about sharks (e.g.- fresh vs. salt water adaptation)_than any other video on this topic... Keep up the excellent work!
My only issue with the Greenland shark is that they both can't see and are incredibly slow. They are massive, sure, and if they got ahold of something they'd be in trouble but I don't think in a head-to-head against many other sharks they would win
I work with little kids and many of them are shark experts, so I took notes on your shark facts. Thanks for making me look very cool to five year olds, Clint!
I too, love the Black Tipped Reef Shark and think it's absolutely gorgeous. A little stuffed animal version from the Monterey Bay Aquarium was the first stuffed animal I remember getting from my parents. Still my favorite shark (and stuffed animal) to this day.

Either that or TH-cam has a messed up algorithm. I enjoy all of Clint's videos. I don't let TH-cam in most cases give me what they think I'd like I go to the main TH-cam page of each one I follow and watch their full videos.
I think what was the most stressful was waiting for a patently ridiculous outcome THAT JUST NEVER CAME!
I love the qualifications like "Non-avian dinosaurs" and "Non-human fish" xD
He needs to clarify how whales are "legless tetrapods" ;-)
Cladistics will ruin previously simple terminology for you, because youll realize it's not even just ancestry, its all the biomechanical shenanigans under the hood that are more similar: birds are closer in anatomy to things like raptors than those raptors are to other things that we absolutely can consider dinosaurs, like triceratops. Therefore, we kind of HAVE TO acknowledge them as another group of dinosaurs
Or in this case, how a calcified skeleton is a pretty big deal. not just structurally, but for the purpose of being a calcium reservoir
@spindash64 I'm advocating for common use of "non-mammal synapsid" as a term because it annoys me endlessly how almost everyone refers to synapsids as extinct

In the grand scheme of things, it is relatively short. Technically.

I love being an adult and getting to learn about all this! Thank you so much for being a FREE source of wildlife information, biology, and science!! I was raised by young Earth creationists, and much of what's taught on this channel woulda gotten me punished for listening to it as a kid. But science is beautiful. Animals (including humans) are amazing, and life is mindblowingly fascinating!! I'll never understand why anybody thinks this kind of learning goes against God. Something even as silly as "which shark would beat all the others?" is a way to better understand and behold the sacred wonder of this "creation." Thanks for being here every weekend. I love this channel!
34:17 to give the artist the benefit of the doubt, I’m pretty sure the rows of teeth “down its throat” are ACTUALLY meant as a sort of motion blur effect; as in, faint afterimages of where the teeth were moments before as the mouth quickly comes toward us, in an attempt to give the illusion of directional motion to a still image
Ya I was thinking the same thing
Bubbles or water turbulence
I was thinking of course, they just ai generated that picture
@@CainXVII don't diss my goat Rob Bolster, also I don't believe ai was that good with making pictures in 2020
I figured it was supposed to be an image of a breaching great white with water dripping down the teeth, but motion lines makes sense too.
I'm old enough to remember they said all sawfish are sharks even though they look like rays. When we sequenced DNA that changed fast.
I'm pretty sure it was known they were at least closer to rays than sharks well before DNA sequencing. The position of their gills alone was a big biological indicator. I'm forty years old and even as a kid the books I read always distinguished sawfish from sharks.
@@Ryodracoi suppose @wcdeich4 is older than 40 haha
@@Ryodraco probably. NatGeo for kids told me that, so.....
Side note, I thought sawfish were extinct for the longest time because they showed up in games I played on Roblox with dinosaurs in them. It still feels bizarre when I see them because they now feel like prehistoric animals to me.
One more of these and Clint will turn into the joker

The phrase 'a shark with rabies' just gave me a terrifying thought.
Part of rabies is fear of water, imagine being a fish or shark with rabies... in the ocean.
That's when they jump in your boat....😮

@@Honda-wf6qj so rabies is common amongst makos? They keep jumping out of the water.
I grew up just south of Daytona Beach, in a house right on the ocean (this was 1,000 years ago, when you could do that without being a billionaire). I can remember many shark-related stories from my childhood, some very sad. But my favorites were the days the fishers would be trying to catch some game fish in the surf but kept catching baby hammerhead after baby hammerhead. They’d grumble and throw them back, just to catch them again a minute later. I loved the baby sharks! They were so adorable-around 2-3’ long and just as weird and cute as you’d imagine 🦈❤
I want to stick up for these books. I have worked in a program that tried to bring challenged readers up to grade-level.1. Tried to find books at kid's reading levels. 2. Tried to find stories that contained diverse and urban characters. 3.Needed to find books that appealed to boys as well as girls. 4. Needed to find books that were gripping page-turners to motivate the reluctant 3rd grader. I know these books are low on probability that these matches would occur in nature. I can also see that you are able to spot little factual errors. These books and their ilk were FANTASTIC materials in my program. Goofy as they are, they were very popular and aided in my overall teaching plan. Side hustle suggestion: Become a paid consultant for the publisher and have a hand in including disclaimers and relevant facts.
I will say that for TH-cam content, these are some of your funniest videos. Keep up the good work
"Little" factual errors is a massive understatement. It's not just that the matchups are goofy. That would be fine as long as the facts were true. I think you're making a mistake by encouraging children to read these books. They've taught children that orcas breathe underwater. They've taught children that a leatherback sea turtle could get killed by the venom of the man o' war, even though they're immune to their venom and eat jellyfish as their primary diet. In some of the books they referred to venom as "poison." They made a book about jungle animals and included two animals never found in the jungle.
Why would the publisher hire Clint as a consultant? That would be a waste of money to them, they don't care if the books are accurate, all they care about is making money. These books would be fantastic for the reasons you described if they'd spent even just a couple hours doing research. It would be so easy.
Goblin sharks have to be one of the most accurately named animals that isn't just "color on body part". Like you look at that and literally everyone will be "dang, that shark is a goblin"

I love how early you talk about clades. Who says 'Ouch' first? This channel is so enlightening and caring.
One thing to note, is when the Great White bit the Greenland shark, it would have likely died from the meat. Being that the Greenland shark has a high ammonia content as an anti-freeze because they live up to two miles under water. Greenlanders have to prepare the meat a certain way to remove the ammonia from it.
If we go done then we go down together 😅
I already questioned how the greenland shark manages against anyone given it is so damned slow ....
So THAT'S why the Great White lost to the Tiger Shark... it was on death's door!
It suddenly all makes sense.
Yes that's true, but I'm completely unaware if the high ammonia concentration would in any way affect a white shark. I'm not even certain it is fatality toxic for humans or just makes it nearly impossible to consume due to the unbearable flavor and odor.
@@SingingSealRianaI'm pretty sure they usually dwell in quite deep waters, maybe not the bottom, but still very deep, where they don't have many, if any, natural predators.
I think we all collectively went "say the line Clint, say the line!!!!!" And then he did, and we all clapped :D
Clint, I appreciate you sacrificing your sanity for our entertainment.
At the beginning of the video I picked the Great White to win it all, but as a Mizzou TIGER fan I'm really glad the tiger shark won.
Diver to tiger shark: "get rotated, idiot"
Shark: Aww man, not again. You know what, let's not come back here for a year. These Orcas are insane!
If this book didn't come out in 2018, I'd think they were watching your vids and learning.
Ohhhh. The freshwater/saltwater fish explanation makes perfect sense. I routinely brine poultry/soak cured hams so I’m not a stranger to osmosis but I’d never extended that logic to natural habitats.
I find some value of reviewing these silly books as it gives Clint a natural angle to debunk things and at the same time give us deeper insight of biology.
Clint, I truly believe you are a light in this world! I watch every video of yours, and your mix of wit, science, comedy and just overall personality is one of a kind! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us good sir! 👍🏻
A subspecie of bull shark lives exclusively in Lago Colcibolca in Nicaragua. In that lake you can be met by crocodiles as well fulfilling a pirate Lego set dream of both crocs and sharks in the same water
TBF hammerhead sharks were named about 70 years before airplanes were first discovered, so it makes sense that they wouldn't be named airplane wing sharks.
Yes! I just checked and they were first described by Wilhelm Peter Eduard Simon Rüppell in 1837. I was sure that someone would’ve pointed that out, so I went looking so I could 👍 the comment.
@@melinphx1 I checked before typing my comment, but a proper peer review is always appreciated.
I mean airplanes weren’t discovered per se. They were engineered and made.
@@lexinicole4317 🤣 You got me! That's what I get for not specifying the hammerhead sharks and not airplanes.
Plus, there were plenty of historical kinds of hammers that looked exactly like that! Check out the Norse "Thor's hammer" symbol, for example.
I think the picture of the Great White's teeth in the Greenland battle was supposed to be lines of cavitation bubbles streaming from the tips of the teeth, to convey high speed.
I thought the same thing, that is was meant to convey fast movement, not be actual teeth.
If they had two more books you could have an eight book rumble. The only question would be should the best book win or the worst?
Well, the good news is that there's an Ultimate Pterosaur Rumble coming out in the not-too-distant future, so that'd give us our eight book rumble.
Small Shark Rumble vs Bug Rumble
Pterosaur Rumble vs Shark Rumble
Reptile Rumble vs Ocean Rumble
Dinosaur Rumble vs Jungle Rumble
i remember when i was a kid i was adamant that bonnethead sharks should have been called shovelhead sharks
Good morning, everyone! What a wonderful way to start the day, thanks Clint and crew!
I was expecting a “mysterious opponent” to appear and the sea turtle to be the champion.
or the megalodon's guest appearance
I absolutely love these "Who Would Win" videos! The looks of shock and dismaybon the former videos is so comical. Thank you! I can hardly wait for the next book!
clint trying to start a fight right of the bat with that blue whale comment
This is my favorite series on this channel. Clint's pain brightens my whole week
showing that Megalodon's tooth was just pure flexing and I love it !
_"Why would you think it looks like a hammer? It makes no sense at all."_ -Clint, 2024.
It's a Canard shark, the rare shark with delta fins mostly seen in the waters off Europe.
34:13 i assumed that was to simulate motion blur, because the shark is coming towards you.
Or little air bubbles in each tooth’s wake.
@helgaratbone1691 that was cavitation
Terrible rendering of motion blur though... Obviously something that was added by some inept editor rather than the original artist
I am entirely here for the ultimate rumble supercut anthology of pain.
My thought when hearing him say that: “That is a spectacularly awful idea. Do it!”
Fun fact, divers in the Caribbean spear invasive lion fish & feed them to sharks so much, when sharks see divers with spear guns, they scrape against the spear gun, then swim to the nearest lion fish because they know the humans will feed them lion fish.
Great video, Clint. Fun as usual and also very informative.
I love how he feels the need to talk correct the book whenever it excludes tetrapods from fish
They didn't have the ultimate move. 'Get rotated'
"they're on my short list of FAVORITE animals on the planet 😊"

"Clint's Supra-Ultimate Rumble-Royale" incoming? ;)
I would love and even buy a "who would win book" from an actual zoologist.
As a note, I would also be really interested in Clint's take on Beast Wars, the old show that had animals fight each other on equal terms (I remember watching Nile Crocodile vs Funnel Web, where they scaled both animals to equal size to analyze their hunting strategies) it was really cool
Would also like to see Clint react to Saikyou Ou Zukan by Gakken. Although since the books are only in Japanese, Clint might need a translator.
Not to be confused with the transformers spinoff that featured animals in place of vehicles and equipment.
@@headphonesaxolotl Ah yes, Gorilla/Cheetah/Rhinoceros/Rat/Velociraptor vs Tyrannosaurus/Pterodactylus/Tarantula/Wasp/Scorpion. Truly a fight for the ages.
I feel like spiders generally win any engagement if you scale them up. The other animal getting ensnared is a death sentence, and most threats to spiders are simply because they are bigger and can safely eat them.
I would like the compilation video and more of these please! Also, you should write books like these, they would be awesome.
Absolutely you should do the supercut, and you should use the title you just suggested: 'The Anthology of Pain: WHO WOULD WIN? The Complete Series'.
Seconded
I had fun watching Clint. I love watching him being apprehensive because his radiant personality shines through.
Tbf, if it was two filter feeders going at each other, it'll involve a lot of awkward bumping.
I want the super cut. I was literally just thinking that I'd love a video of all these stupid rumbles put together, and then you said it. It's not needed. But it is wanted. 😂
You should write a who would win book of apes, where gorrilas win cause they too cute and no one will dare to upset them so they give up.
I found the lower half of a small Mako jaw walking on the beach when I was a kid. Kept it. One day, my brother and I were hanging out in my room, and mom called us for lunch. When we finished up, we ran back, and I jumped on the bed, where I happened to leave said jaw, which promptly embedded itself in my palm. Took some stitches, but it wasn't the worst. I can't imagine the damage from a mature Mako thrashing its head around would do to a person.
The salt and fresh water explanation was excellent.
Congrats on the summer camp and C.E. courses! By the way, I ALSO love these videos you do (along with the Best Pets vids). Anytime we get to watch you lose your mind over the inaccuracies in the public zoological knowledgebase zeitgeist.
Hey, Clint, I’d like to say thank you. I’ve been going through a very tough time recently, and have even considered ending my own life. Your videos have offered me a much needed refuge from life that I desperately need right now, as well as reigniting my childhood love of animals and biology. I love to hear you as excited as I am about sharks, dinosaurs, etc. And as much as it pains you, I love these "Who would win?" videos too! Just thank you Clint, I am truly grateful for what you do.
I'm so thankful that you are still here. You sound like my kind of person. I hope we can always be here for you when you need a reminder what a blessing it is to live in this world full of so many incredible things.
Please release a supercut!!! I love your commentary!!
The supercut is available via his Patreon if you’re willing to spend the money, Patreon is far more profitable than TH-cam these days so you’d be supporting his efforts to keep making content
9:14 Interestingly the common torpedo (Torpedo torpedo) an electric ray, which the weapon "torpedo" is (rather indirectly) named after is not actually torpedo shaped!
Ironically the name torpedo comes from Latin meaing "lethargy" or "sluggishness"; referring to the numbing effect of it's electric shock, and has nothing to do with being sleek and fast.
I had never realized the connection between torpedo and torpor. Funny how words can completely change meanings based on common use.
IIRC, the earliest torpedoes were more like sea mines than underwater rockets, so this kind of makes sense: disguised underwater thing that provides a nasty surprise when touched.
@@Eloraurora yes! I though about mentioning that, but I have already written two 5+ paragraph TH-cam comments today 😅 (ADHD), so I decided to be brief ..
I can't say enough good things about this channel. I work as a para at a local HS (as a 2nd job) and recommend this channel to teachers and students constantly. I haven't crossed a video I haven't enjoyed, and this one is certainly one of the most enjoyable.
Whoa, Clint, is that a mullet creeping in back there?
Oh god he's turning into the Reptile King instead of Tiger King.
As an aspiring zoologist i love your videos and you are my new comfort channel lol
I think I've solved the 'fish' conundrum. The answer is that 'fish' simply isn't a scientific term, and trying to fit it into a taxonomy, phylogeny just doesn't make sense. It is in fact a colloquial term that, by definition, includes sharks and tuna, and excludes whales and other mammals. Consider also that 'fish' also incude shellfish, some of which are crustaceans and others molluscs.
Osteichthyes (bony fish) and Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish) are some more scientifically accurate terms to tell "fish" apart. From where I come though, shellfish are totally different and we do not call them fish at all.
Adorable and educational. Crushing so hard. That final match though! Didn't see that coming!
34:39 I don’t think this is supposed to represent the shark having rows of teeth down its throat, I’m pretty sure that’s just supposed to be motion blur as the shark opens its mouth.
If Clint doesn't make the compilation of the rumbles, I will RIOT!!!!😂😂😂😂 Love these so MUCH!!!!!😅
Pufferfish vs. Angler fish (totally realistic battle that would definitely happen in the Hadal Zone)
The Pufferfish is happily cruising in the darkest part of the ocean when it notices a small light. The light intrigues the Pufferfish. Suddenly, the Angler fish attacks! The Pufferfish blows itself up to become pointy. Ouch! The Angler fish is hurt, but still fighting. It chomps down on the Pufferfish and pops it like a balloon. Angler fish wins!!1!
The supercut sounds like a good idea. According to a video by the Spiffing Brit a little while ago, supercuts typically get more views than the individual videos combined, and on top of that also have really good watch times (partially because a lot people just have the video playing in the background while doing something else, or even just while sleeping).
I am living for the moment Clint said, “These stupid books” 😂😂😂😂😂
You're the most delightful man i've ever witnessed. your passion energy and thousand favorites of every type of animal has reignited my passion for the sheer variety and beautiful wicked weird adaptations of chance (a passion that has always burned hot but now its a fire hazard). Im an Arizona native and I was embarrassingly excited when i found out you're my older rival to the east (Utah). You're a beautiful beautiful man doing incredible work and you've made the world fresh and exciting again for a recent-adult with little direction. You even make a career in zoology getting to raise cockroaches to see what they do seem viable.
I've been noticing my native wildlife again, and how taken aback i was to find out we have velvet ants!!!! i have seen them!!!! they are beautiful and fast and investigative things and i cannot believe i get to see them sometimes!!!! I've finally started putting names to bugs I've known my whole life, like the ten-striped beetle, and it's fascinating to study them armed with fresh knowledge. you can actually see how they press their wings to make their hiss. Now I'm on a quest to figure out the deal with the slippery spotty guys that leave under our overpopulated goatheads.
If you've read this far i would very greatly dearly treasure a video about pinacate beetles/eleodes, whatever you call them. I grew up calling them stink bugs so I've much to learn and they might be my favorite creature ever, have been half my life. They're docile, sturdy, surprisingly slow to use their defense mechanism, patiently held and crawling about my hands, always grateful for a sip of water when i accidentally sweep them out from under the couch. They're the only insect in my house that is truly a guest. I'd love to actually be a big smarty pants about my favorite desert trekker, and there's no one I'd rather learn from you.
Toxicognaths, my beloved.

Kinda disappointed that these are getting better. No Thresher Shark whipping a Great White in the eye then somehow winning it.
It's been a while since my last comment.
Regrettably, a number have probably in retrospect, been too long... but I wanted them to be as thorough as necessary to cover all of the interesting points that you bring up in your videos...in those areas that I have had experience with the species that you are covering.
I have mentioned this previously, but it still holds true...I have watched and shared more of your videos than any other videos on U-tube. That is, .more than ALL OTHER videos... in all other genre's combined! Somehow, you have managed to cover in the 'Is this best pet snake for you' videos...over 80% of the species of venomous snakes that I have made pet's out of (that I would include on my list)! Your coverage of the King Cobra was superb!
In the first third of this video I learned more about sharks (e.g.- fresh vs. salt water adaptation)_than any other video on this topic... Keep up the excellent work!
My only issue with the Greenland shark is that they both can't see and are incredibly slow. They are massive, sure, and if they got ahold of something they'd be in trouble but I don't think in a head-to-head against many other sharks they would win
I work with little kids and many of them are shark experts, so I took notes on your shark facts. Thanks for making me look very cool to five year olds, Clint!
ooh i hope this one is good for clint's sanity... my hopes aren't high though, with the track record
I too, love the Black Tipped Reef Shark and think it's absolutely gorgeous. A little stuffed animal version from the Monterey Bay Aquarium was the first stuffed animal I remember getting from my parents. Still my favorite shark (and stuffed animal) to this day.
