Starts tomorrow on the Discovery Channel. Wonder if anyone else enjoys this yearly event every Summer on the Discovery Channel. I've been a Shark Week fan since the 90s and for me this is the only time the Discovery Channel has been worth watching since pretty much the end of the 90s. It's always a fun event. Sharks have always fascinated me since I was a kid.

I don’t watch shark week often but I’ve always been fascinated with sharks probably since Jaws. I was watching a doc on Megaladon and when you see the size of their teeth you’re thankful they’re not around anymore

Sharks have always fascinated me. I wonder if the Megalodon and other massive underwater carnivores like it really did go extinct or if they've survived and only dwell in the deepest, darkest ocean depths not possible for us to reach.

I’m pretty sure they’re gone. Sharks like that would need a ton of food to eat and at those depths there aren’t a lot of food sources for them. Kind of the lochness monster it’s cool to think about them existing but at some point we would have seen some evidence by now

You just never know for sure. The ocean is like it's own world within this one and so little of it is charted. It's amazing the kinds of lifeforms that have been discovered in the deepest ocean depths, like bioluminescent sharks.

Absolutely. 70 percent of this world is water or something like that do who knows

There's also prehistoric predators like the Mosasaurus, Kronosaurus, Liopleurodon, etc. it's amazing and frightening to think they dominated the oceans millions of years ago.

Some may well still be alive today, just undiscovered.

There was also a pretty famous photo of a giant snake in the Congo in 1959 taken by a respected war hero/pilot

And being that long ago that was long before photo manipulations were a thing, so that would've had to have been real.

That was very interesting. I bet more giant snakes exist, especially deeper within the jungles. Jungles are as beautiful as they are dangerous.
This reminds me of cryptids and giant animals. Always been a subject that's fascinated me.

Yeah when you think of the Amazon or Congo you realize that so much of it is either undiscovered or barely visited by anyone so who knows what’s out there
