No I doubt it very much. Marine animals that live at the surface can't survive the depths because of the weight of water, it's tons of pressure per square inch. Anything that breathes can only go so deep before the pressure in unequal then it's crushed to mud. Similarly there's marine life that can't go to shallow water or they explode, again unequal pressure so if it lives near the surface it would've been seen by now. Too much ocean going traffic since the industrial age to have missed something that big. If it lives in the depths then nobody wouldve ever came across something like it to start the myth in the first place. If it seems too fantastic it probably is. Folk have boring lives and make shit up

It's possible, but it seems unlikely because it would seem that they'd have to live really, really deep to avoid detection. The problem with that is that all of the life found really, really deep tends to be pretty small as the resources down there are tight.
Then again, there's the giant squid, which is fairly rarely seen, however scientists know that it's not a rare animal given how many of them whales apparently eat. So maybe it's possible that these huge creatures are there and just have managed to avoid detection the way that most of the giant squids do?
I think Megalodon can be still alive. They found the Coelacanth in 1938 off the African coast. Scientists thought that the Coelacanth went extinct with the dinosaur.
The ocean is massive, and we know more about outer space than our oceans. It's super possible.
Quite doubtful. Megalodon was a creature that lived near the surface. There are other ancient creatures on Earth still, but not dinosaurs really.

Well there are some prehistoric creatures that still exist today, there's a species of jellyfish that never dies from old age and is actually immortal. Crocs and gators are in fact prehistoric creatures, the only difference is they used to be much, much bigger.
And there are legends of several prehistoric creatures going back as little as 100, 200 years.
Not to mention consistent reports of people seeing some of these creatures for hundreds of thousands of years straight, think that's a coincidence?
Lets also keep in mind that only 1% of our oceans have even been thoroughly explored or explored in general at all. It's really not that hard to come to the conclusion that some species of ancient creatures could still be alive today and even thriving in some places in the ocean.Certainly, but not megalodon. If I recall correctly, it lived in relatively shallow waters, the kind where you cannot possibly hide a 40+ foot shark.
There are many regions of our planet we haven't investigated yet, where the terrible lizards could still live, but the megalodon does not live in one of theseI fought it doe to food supply but I'm sure size of fish that eats flesh would be about 30ft max. But thats personal guest with knowledge base of books, and programs. And what is wash up on shore. I don't think megaldon still around but a great white maybe. They have been found is waters that deep.
aren't komododragons actually dinosaurs? thought I saw that on discovery channel one that. something about that this animal stayed the same over all these years. like same with crocodiles. but crocodiles evolved 🤔. I always find this a interesting topic.
there are definitely monsters down there, but i don't think they will be like megalodon.
their body structure is just not suitable for such deep pressure.megaladons lived close to the surface so unless they evolved and are illusive no, but its possible that some are still alive in the depths of the ocean, it would explain all the sharks getting eaten of South Australia
Its feasible but I don't think so. Maybe somewhere in the dark recesses of the ocean they linger in smaller numbers than during their prime but primarily I think they just became great whites because the food supply couldn't sustain them at their size. I would be terrifed to think there's still any out there.
the sea is only about 12% explored, so we dont know whats in the other 88%... theorethical there could be another intelligent lifeform with a civilization...
No I doubt it. Fishing trawlers have been pretty much everywhere in the world that has a lot of marine life. Most the big fish have been wiped out or close to it.
Who knows what lies in the bottom of the ocean floor. I think it could be possible if megalodons existed today.
Do not disturb the underground sea monsters, they are our last line of defense in case we get invaded by Aliens.
If they do they wouldn't look like that in the picture, they would have adopted to deep sea strong pressure and no light environment
Lol that image is giving me OCD... why is it labeled megalodon twice?
If they're still alive, it would be in deeper water, not shallow water.
It'd be awesome and not completely impossible, but expect to be dissappointed
Not those big animals but micro organisms just as old could be alive there.
I Agree man it is possible
Crocodiles are dinasours.
Anything is possible
I seen one before i seent it
