Had a dry spell in interesting news and media this week but this is just to good to be true. This video shows a huge giant shark claimed to be a Megalodon filmed by I think some Japanese show. It also has a few giant squid shots in it.
If this shark isn't a megalodon then what kind of shark is it because it is so dang huge, Basking shark? What could it be?
Edit: most people seem to think its a Greenland Shark.
Liked this giant shark video? then check out this huge 6 gilled shark video, could be bigger and also lend support that the above video isn't an illusion of some sort.

I recently found a very interesting website:
http://alreadylinked.com/
There you can purchase ad space for your Blog etc.
Pacific Sleeper shark: Somniosus pacificus can grow to over 20 feet. Remember in the deep where this was filmed, light only penetrates only a few feet so everything filmed is actually very close to the camera and looks larger than it actually is. Plus the water actually magnifies images also making everything look larger.
Looks like a Basking Shark to me.
It's a Pacific Sleeper Shark. You can see a better video of one on National Geographic's website: http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/sharks/rareshark.html#video
It's in the clip titled "rare shark"
Even if I didn't know what type of shark this was, it's obvious it's not a megalodon. The megalodon looked a lot like a great white, dark gray on top, white on the bottom, and much larger than the shark in the video. Even if they did still exist, they weren't black. They had teeth almost identical to the great whites, indicating a similar habitat and diet, and we know the great white is the closest living relative, so it's a pretty safe bet they looked similar.
The idea that this is a megalodon shark is absolutely ridiculous. Megalodon were ancestors of the Great White, this bears no resemblance whatsoever to Great White Sharks. It is probably a megamouth shark or a pacific sleeper as someone else has said.
Awwww...That's a Greenland Shark! Also Known as a Sleeper Shark or Pacific Sleeper Shark... yep yep! Megalodons are extinct.... the nearest thing we have nowadays to a Megalodon is a Great White. They look pretty much exact in appearance however the Megalodon was believed to be considerably larger. And it's not a basking shark either... They are a hell of a lot bigger! I've seen one myself in cornwall!
Hi, i am a shark lover. I have been ever since i was a kid. Do any of you guys know where i can get a REAL megalodon tooth online? maybe about $100 or so..somewhere in that price range?
I know I've seen meg teeth on ebay before, not sure if they are real or replicas though.
That may not be a megaladon, but the idea of megaladons still being alive is not ridiculous. As for this shark being a pacific sleeper, I don't know. Yes the water and the camera may make things look bigger, but come on. It doesn't make it look that big and if you truly think that’s why the shark looks so big you are an idiot. Megaladons may be ancestors of the great white, but that does not mean that have to look exactly like each other. I mean scientists say that birds are the ancestors of dinosaurs and they look nothing like each other. No one has ever had a clear view of a megaladon so the color of the shark is unknown, we can only speculate on what it looks like. Not to mention that the camera was in murky water or a reflection could hit the camera to make the colors look different. So as for this shark being a megaladon, maybe, maybe not. As for the idea of megaladons still being alive, I strongly believe.
yea this is not a megaladon plus japan does not have the right waters for it to live in. the megaladon needs bigger foot sources and wouldn't be in murky or shallow waters. but the open ocean is like outer space we haven't discovered all of the open water yet but if anything i been hearing sightings in Australia
around the new Zealand area's. i wouldn't be surprise if anyone would get a picture of that but this shark not megaladon most likely either a large sand tiger shark or a Basking shark
The idea of Megaladons being alive is not completely insane. Modern sharks have been around since before the dinosaurs but most have evolved. It's possible. However, if you saw a Megaladon you would know. They were over three times the size of a Great White. A Megaladon wouldn't of even fit in that shot. If this was filmed off the coast of Japan it most likely is not a Greenland shark, Greenlands typically inhabit oceans near North America, off the coast of Canada and near Greenland as the name implies. Also they live in water that varies between 2-7 degrees C. Not to mention they live between 200-2000 m.
Chances are it is a Pacific Sleeper, a close relative to the Greenland shark. They're typically more gentle. It most deffinatly isn't a basking or a sand tiger. It's the wrong color.
That shark is a Basking shark. Megladons are possibly extinct. If they were living they would be in the deepest trench in the world. The Marinas trench. Millions of exotic new species were found. Those teeth are not real. The one's that are about 6 to 7 inches are real. It's all a bunch of crock.
That is most definitly a basking shark you can tell from the mouth and if you want you can search up pictures of basking sharks they live in japan and i am a cryptozoologist(study of hidden animals
Is ja wohl der GRÖSSTE mist, den ich je sah!!! Megalodon am Arsch! Dieser Hai sieht nicht einmal annähernd so aus wie einer. Zu lahm, zu komische anatomie und zu falscher ORT! Peace, ich bin raus...
I wouldn't like to contradict a "cryptozoologist", I am not expert in sharks, and I don't know what it is but one thing is sure: it is not a "basking shark":
Look at the movie, look the size of his Gill. Ok now look those pictures and tell me is there is something of similar:

Thanks Mr the "cryptozoologist"
Cheers.
its not a basking jst look at the snouts u morons
its not a megalodon it wuld hav eaten those sharks too they use to eat larger animals such as baby whales adn smaller sharks
its a greelnad shark
and the fact that the megalodon is still alive culd possibly be as there was sightings of a female eel lik shark that was from prehistoric times sighted in this day and age
and the fact that some areas of the ocean we cant reli investigate due to the water being too deep and the pressure doesnt help
i believe that it is still out there but only a few very few
I really do hope and still believe that it exists. It would be incredible to witness and understand exactly what this shark is. I do know as a fact it is not the megalodon in this video, it is a pacific sleeper. I truely do beleive that it is still out there but there isonlylittle, very verylittle.
