Which sea monster in the movie is more powerful than mosasaurs?
"Megalodon 2" will appear the largest shark king ever, do you know how much bigger it is than the two that appeared in the previous game, in this issue we will talk about the puzzle about megalodon.
25-meter common megalodon
The description in the movie is different from the paleontological world, and it is good when you look at science fiction.
According to the second trailer, they have appeared 65 million years ago, and once became the largest marine predator with almost no natural enemies, every second Tyrannosaurus rex, about thirteen or four meters of Tyrannosaurus rex was directly swallowed by it.
Megalodon swallowed Tyrannosaurus rex raw
In the face of the huge prehistoric sea monster, the most classic image on the screen Tyrannosaurus rex has become a foil and is described as vulnerable.
Either let the mosasaur swallow it or swallow it with a megalodon to highlight the strength and invincibility of the prehistoric sea monster.
Megalodons disappeared from the earth more than 2 million years ago, and the premise in the movie is that the normal waters above the human ocean are not within their range.
If it did, all the sea creatures would be eaten by them, and its teeth and bite force were strong enough to bite off a whale about 10 meters long in one bite.
Megalodons prey on whales
A scientific outpost built on the sea is studying the waters under the sea 10,000 meters below, giving us a sci-fi world.
At the deepest part of the seabed, there is a thick insulation layer, which completely separates the world below from the above, and at the same time ensures the temperature inside.
Giant octopus at the bottom of the stratosphere
This makes two completely different worlds on and off the water, and the interior of the stratosphere is an underwater paradise that has never been discovered by humans, where a variety of strange luminous creatures grow, and even octopuses can easily reach more than 10 meters.
It should be these giant creatures that have become the food of megalodons, which is enough to keep them alive until now.
Megalodon prey on octopuses
When humans were rescuing at the bottom of the stratosphere, one of the submersibles was attacked by megalodons and exploded, and the violent heat impact caused the stratosphere to be briefly blown open a huge gap.
This gives megalodons the opportunity to follow the gap in the stratosphere, and it is not clear how many of them came up, and it is said that in the moment when the gap briefly opened, it was enough to allow 20 megalodons to pass through.
At present, it is known in the movie that there are just two of them, they are a male and female pair, and the smaller one is a male megalodon.
The average great white shark can usually reach about 6 meters, and this male megalodon reaches a body length of 18 meters, and the male is much smaller than the female.
18-meter male megalodon
Megalodon may also be a creature that eats its own kind, and after the smaller male shark is caught by humans, the larger female shark jumps directly from the water and swallows it away.
Through comparison, it can also be clearly seen that the female shark is not only longer and thicker, and the personal estimated tonnage should reach about 1.8 times that of the male shark, and the length of the female shark is about 25 meters.
The movie lists the size of some creatures, which show that the average megalodon may reach 23 meters, this female is a little larger than the average one, and the megalodon's teeth reach 7.48 inches, which is almost 20 centimeters.
25-meter female shark
The film also has two small details that describe the characteristics of sawtooth sharks, the first of which is that they will have some small parasites on their bodies, and when swimming through the water, you can see that there are a lot of attachments to their backs.
Four small parasites can be seen on the back of the female shark
This is a nice detail, because indeed many large underwater creatures such as whales have some parasitic little creatures on them.
Another is that when the female shark received the boxed lunch, a small megalodon came out of the mouth, it should be about to be born, but it didn't have time to be born, and the female shark was attacked, and then it came out of the stomach, which just left a foreshadowing for the sequel.
Young sharks in the mouth of female sharks
There should be many megalodons in the sequel, not only will they tell some of their scenes before 65 million years ago, humans may also continue to explore the underwater world below the stratosphere, and then for unknown reasons, it should be the release of a large number of megalodons.
There is a frame in the trailer where three heads appear at the same time, and the middle one is the largest, which may be the shark king mentioned in the movie. So how big is it?
"Megalodon 2" trailer three sharks
Through the comparison of megalodon and Tyrannosaurus rex in ancient times, it is initially estimated that the size of Tyrannodon rex is about 13 meters, and the megalodon that hunts Tyrannosaurus rex, its length should be at least above three Tyrannodon rex, which may reach nearly 50 meters.
I think there are many huge creatures in prehistoric 65 million years ago, megalodon has abundant food, in addition to hunting various large sea monsters in the ocean, it can also hunt some dinosaurs and the like on the shore, and its size can naturally grow very large.
"Megalodon 2" Shark King
The shark king that appeared 65 million years ago should not be the same as the shark king that appeared in the trailer, even if it is a science fiction movie, I think a shark cannot live for 65 million years, which is directly comparable to Godzilla's ancient titan behemoth, which is no longer a creature of the same latitude.
Personally, I think that the common megalodon that survived in the strattosphere of the seafloor are unlikely to reach the prehistoric size level, because there is not so much food to nourish them, and they should form a set of their own ecological balance in a relatively closed world.
For example, compressing the volume in order to survive, this theory appeared once in the Godzilla Monster Universe, that is, when the King Kong family lived in the hollow earth in ancient times, their volume reached 100 meters.
Later, after escaping to Skull Island, because the food on it was relatively scarce and there was not much space for survival, in order to ensure the continuation of the race, the King Kong family compressed the volume and shortened the lifespan, and the one that survived was the oldest and the oldest and the largest.
Its parents are only about half its height, probably 50 meters up and down, so I think the largest shark king should probably be the same as the prehistoric one, almost 50 meters.
Let's take a look at the comparison between the shark king and the Jurassic World mosasaurus, the size of this mosasaur has always been a mystery, there are many theories, we use the reference objects in the movie to estimate how long it really is.
The female host of the Jurassic pavilion has a net height of at least 165, and the European and American sides are relatively tall, and she wears a high heel that is less than 8 centimeters, so the overall height is estimated to be about 1.75 meters.
Through this panorama, I can estimate the length of the shark feeding, and I compared it with an object on the screen, and the length of the shark is probably 1.8 times that of the female host, that is, about 3.2 meters.
It is a growing medium-sized great white shark, but it is not the largest, the largest great white shark can grow to more than 6 meters. And the length of 3.2 meters is probably to the eyes of the mosasaur.
Through a panoramic picture of the mosasaur, it can be seen that the length of its entire head is estimated to be about 5.7 meters, and the overall length of the mosasaur should reach 45 meters according to the head-to-body ratio of 1:7.
Therefore, I think this mosasaur is relatively close to the king megalodon in terms of length, and much longer than the small megalodon.

But in terms of the thickness of the torso, the mosasaur is still much smaller than the shark king, I think the tonnage of the megalodon king will be much larger than the mosasaur, its bite force should also be stronger, the mosasaur of the Jurassic world should not be able to dry this megalodon king, do you think this is the case?
