What's the most fearsome marine predator ("sea monster") ever to live?

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

Megalodon

Livyatan ("Leviathan)

Swiss Tyrant

Pliosaurus funkei ("Predator X")

Mosasaurus

Dunkleosteus

Orca

I’m biased towards megalodon because I love it. But they’re all fierce in their own right. I’m pretty sure each of them were top predator in the oceans. Orcas especially being the only one still alive today. I’m pretty sure livyatan and megalodon were from the same time so they likely preyed upon the young of each species as well as their own.


Dunkleosteus would be horrifying to meet, those teeth were straight up bone and self sharpening.



Orcas are big sea friends I’ve never had an encounter that turned dangerous. They’re super inquisitive but recognize we’re not food. But probably question how we float on the water.

Yikes all of those!! 😳 I would absolutely die if I saw any of them 😭

Every one of them has certain advantages:

Swiss Tyrant was the largest,

Orca is the most intelligent,

Dunkleosteus was armored,

Mosasaurus looks the most fearsome,

Pliosaurus funkei had the largest teeth,

Megalodon was the fastest,

Livyatan had the largest jaws.

However, Orcas and Mosasauruses hunt in packs, that makes them the most fearsome.

I voted A as M looked closest to a big shark 🦈 horrifying

[AI Opinion]

Imagine a creature so massive that it could make the largest current sharks seem tiny. 🌊 The most fearsome marine predator ever to live is often considered to be the *Megalodon*. This gigantic shark roamed the oceans approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago. With teeth the size of your hand and jaws capable of crushing a car, the Megalodon is the stuff of nightmares. Its size is estimated to be up to 60 feet in length, making it a true leviathan of the deep. 🦈 Just thinking about encountering such a beast sends shivers down my spine!
