An international Chinese-led scientific research project is underway deep in the Mariana Trench, but it is suddenly attacked by unknown creatures, and researchers are trapped on the seabed. Jonas Taylor, a former U.S. Marine Corps deep-sea diving expert, was tasked with rescue and was once again confronted by the prehistoric megalodon shark, which left him with a lifelong memory of years ago in the deep sea. Jonas joined hands with Zhang Suyin, a Chinese female scientist in a scientific research project, to successfully rescue the trapped people, but the rescue operation has a series of accidents, when the prehistoric giant beast Megalodon shark escapes from the deep sea, everyone will face an unprecedented disaster crisis...
Next month, the action sci-fi adventure movie Megalodon, directed by Joe Det Duba and starring Jason Statham, Bingbing Lee, Wren Wilson, Ruby Rose, Wenxuan Zhao and Shuya Cai, will be released soon. However, regardless of the plot, special effects, acting skills and other aspects of this movie, I think everyone should be most concerned about the prehistoric monster in "Megalodon" and the ocean overlord Canglong in the previous "Jurassic World", who is the real king.
Speaking of megalodon, the Greek word means "big teeth." The shark averages 14 meters long and weighs 40 tons. Some of the fossil vertebrae of the megalodon shark that have been found are much larger than the great white shark, and it is speculated that it may be more than 20 meters. It weighs 70 tons, but no complete fossils of vertebral bones have been found to prove its speculation. Its size is very rare.
The dragons, which lived in the late Cretaceous period, about 60 million years ago, were active in shallow coastal waters and belonged to the suborder Lepidoptera and the superfamily Macrosmode. The family consists of nearly 20 known genera, the largest of which is more than 10 meters long. The body is slender, the head is medium in size, the neck is short and thick, and the tail is equal to the length of the body. The body is snake-like and twisted during movement. The limbs are fin-shaped and play a helmsmanship role. The anterior and posterior feet are multi-toed segments. Up to 10 toe nodes are more. The teeth are tapered, large and sharp. It was a large and ferocious aggressive animal in the water at that time. Among them, the larger canglong resembles the Hoffman canglong, with a limit body length of 21 meters and a weight of about 33 tons. It can be seen from the above that if you talk about body size, the megalodon shark can undoubtedly crush the dragon, after all, the largest in the dragon is only medium in the race of megalodon sharks, and at most it is only a little higher. Moreover, the overall body shape of the megalodon shark is streamlined, while the dragon is as slender as a lizard, and it can be said that its tail also accounts for a considerable part of the body length. Compared with the two, there is no doubt that a tall and mighty fat man and a short and thin man are not comparable.
In terms of bite force, the megalodon shark may be one of the most powerful creatures found in the history of the earth, with the largest bite force estimated to be 36 tons, and its oral bite force exceeds that of the Tyrannosaurus rex. The main way of eating is similar to that of the current crocodile, and does not directly bite the prey into two pieces, so the megalodon shark is also the complete abuse of the dragon.
In terms of speed, limited by excessive weight, megalodons are relatively average, usually not more than 35 kilometers per hour on average, and slightly faster when chasing prey. Moreover, the megalodon makes sharp turns and has a poor ability to change direction. Even if they are still alive today, it is estimated that they will not be able to catch up with marine life such as dolphins or killer whales. With its streamlined body and oar-like tail, the dragon can guarantee its fastest march at a speed of more than 48 kilometers per hour. And canglong's advantages in steering and shifting are also more obvious. Therefore, if the two really want to go against each other, as long as the dragon does not make a mistake, at least self-protection is no problem. Moreover, the megalodon shark is not like the dragon, belongs to the killer species, even if there is no need to survive, the dragon will hunt nearby creatures, it appeared before the sea overlord Feng's dragon is a living example, Feng's dragon was almost exterminated. The most crucial thing is that the dragon evolved into the ocean by land and belongs to the amphibian species, and in these aspects, the dragon undoubtedly has the absolute upper hand.
Especially the dragon in "Jurassic World", in his few appearances, is a fatal blow to the opponent, clean and clean, but never lost. It should be in the production time, like the tyrannical dragon, adding the genes of other animals or other kinds of dinosaurs, there is considerable ability to think, so if it is a life-and-death duel, the megalodon shark may not be able to fight the dragon.
