When megalodon and leviathan whales meet, who will become the real ocean overlord?
About 10 million years ago, a sea turtle was swimming leisurely, but he did not know that a megalodon was lurking behind it. This terrifying ultimate hunter was about to attack the defenseless turtle, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, and there seemed to be other creatures lurking in the darkness. Soon, a huge figure slowly emerged, this is the Leviathan whale that makes megalodons wary.
Leviathan whales lived in the same era as megalodons and were also apex predators in the ocean. In order to compete for limited food resources, a battle between the two hegemons is inevitable. So, who will be the ultimate winner of this battle for supremacy?
Megalodon roamed the world's oceans about 28 million years ago and wielded feared dominance. They are prey for almost all marine life, including sharks and whales.
The megalodon is about 20 meters long, weighs about 100 tons, has 276 sharp teeth up to 17 centimeters long, and bites up to 18 tons. In contrast, the Leviathan whale is slightly smaller, measuring about 17.5 meters and weighing about 100 tons, but it also has 22 huge teeth and a powerful head weapon.
While megalodons and leviathan whales are both apex predators, they hunt differently. Megalodon is better at sneaking up on the seabed, while Leviathan whales are smarter and good at chasing their prey until they are exhausted.
When these two giant creatures of equal status meet, will their strategy still work? The megalodon saw the Leviathan whale and accelerated without hesitation. The Leviathan whale did not flinch, but greeted it. When the megalodon approached the Leviathan whale, it suddenly turned and swam downward.
The Leviathan whale could only turn slowly, while the megalodon seized the opportunity and crashed headlong into the belly of the Leviathan whale, trying to force it into submission with brute force. However, its attacks did not work. The speed of the Leviathan whale is too slow, and the megalodon has been attacking fiercely. What is the outcome of this fierce battle for hegemony? Can Leviathan whales beat megalodon?
Let's move on. The battle between the two sides is still deadlocked, and the Leviathan whale tries to fight back, but the megalodon is too fast, dodging the Leviathan whale's attack each time, and constantly attacking the Leviathan whale's fins and tail. This strategy is very effective. The Leviathan whale's injuries are getting worse, but the megalodon's physical strength is also constantly depleting, and it must constantly attack to maintain its strength. The Leviathan whale seemed to be on the verge of being unable to withstand the megalodon's attack, and it wagged its tail desperately in an attempt to get out of the battlefield. But the megalodon apparently did not want to let it go, closely following the Leviathan whale.
This chase battle has left both sides with constant physical exhaustion. However, it is clear that the Leviathan whale is much better off, and it wisely conserves most of its energy. During the chase, it deliberately slows down and pretends to be about to run out. Megalodon sees the weakness of the Leviathan whale and will unconsciously accelerate, causing the energy to be consumed faster. Soon, the megalodon's energy was completely depleted and remained in place. The Leviathan whale took the opportunity to swim back quickly, opening its blood basin and biting the megalodon fiercely.
The battle ended with the victory of the Leviathan whale. By virtue of its own wisdom, it has become the overlord of the seas. Unfortunately, due to a sharp drop in Earth's temperature, the Leviathan whale eventually went extinct. Fortunately, there are now killer whales that have replaced the Leviathan whale, perpetuating its myth.
