Whats withe the creepy music? This thing was pretty much like a gentle giant.
Still think this sounds better than the benny hill theme, don't you? ;)
Also, when you want music to go with massive creatures in the dark depths of the ocean, you usually set something ominous to it, dangerous or not.
this guy knows these thing are here today right I mean well they are basking sharks . come on only an idiot wouldn't know that
+awww! its gunter Basking sharks are cartilage, leedsichthys was a boney fish. The difference is that the basking shark is a "shark" and leedsichthys is basically a mega sized tuna fish.
+Nebetus mega sized tuna ! yum lets hunt it
+Nebetus The Leedsichthys Problematicus still contained chunks of cartilage.
this is why I love pools
I'll ruin that for you.Look up "drain disembowlment."
MarsRacingNetwork This is goin final destination fast
MarsRacingNetwork I'm tempted but the pool is all I have left

Whale sharks are adorable!
Yeah they are Soo cute and adorable mouth is Soo cute
They are just giant vacuums
Yes the vicious cute whales who mercilessly kills sea lions just for thrill n plays with dead body b4 consumption so cute
@@jamsib7608 u might be talking ab orcas
Ahhhhhh... No thanks. 😳 imagibe being in a slimy small water hole with 12 of them all hungry ass hell trying to break you dont and eating you...
whale sharks don't hurt people they are nice guys
they actually give people rides around the oceans (;
all sharks are nice guys, they're just hungry and don't like people invading their home >:(
Theo Lupin no the main reason sharks attack humans is because of mistaking them for seals and sea turtles.
Saiyan Karock - exactly.. they’re hungry...
Giovanni Nero u didnt know that
nice sand art
Clorox Bleach can I drink

SHIN GODZILLA Again!?
Clorox Bleach we meet again...
TaichiPanda is Debt there are more than 1 clorox bleach I Fucken hate when people are stupid like you and think there is only one
whale shark is not dangerous not at all!
but they are big
no, but they have the potential to be if you freak one out. a full force blow from a tail that large and powerful would be more than enough to kill you, if not from the sheer force then by knocking you unconscious underwater, which would likely be a death sentence if there was no one close enough to clap a hand over your mouth and nose and swim your limp ass to the surface
Kaecey the panda You'd have to behave mighty stupid under water to get a whale shark to hit you.
well, you would be surprised at how stupid some people can be
"WHOA THAT THING IS HUGE! LETS PUKE IT, STEVE!"
I thought blue whales were the biges...oh wait...'fish' not 'mammals.'
Yes, a Blue Whale is a mammal... Well done 👏👏!!!!
Everybody knows a Blue Whale is a mammal.
lol the video said the whale is a fish
a whale shark is a fish a whale is not. the whale shark is a shark. a whale is a whale.
For those who are staying it's extinct. So is the fish in this video. Megaladon as well as other sharks have bones and are considered fish.
not everyone
this coment section:
40% blue whale is bigger
30% what about megaladon?
10% would hug whale shark
10% random
i didnt even watch the video, and am just looking thought the coments... i dont even know what i am doing with my life anymore....
robo-suport_cz robofactory no it's
40% Blue whale is bigger
40% what about Megalodon
1% I would hug a whale shark
And 9% random
nah nah its
40% Blue whale is bigger
40% what about Megalodon
1% I would hug a whale shark
1% describing the coment section in percentage
and 8% random btw.... 40% + 40% + 10% = 90% so you gotta add another 10% for people who can"t count :x
Nobody except for me: Luna fish is bigger
It's ok...I'll stick to a goldfish.

Lucifer sama well the show is called rivermonsters so...
The expensive stuff vs off brand
Ye
And now leedsychthis is the most feared beast of the Ark for sailors
Ark survival evolved, or wat...? Wat u talkin bout?
Irish Boy yeah, ark survival evilved
Irish Boy yes. In ARK: Survival Evolved, Leedsycthis is a territorial aquatic hazard for people piloting rafts, as they will chase down ships and ram them from underneath. This was especially bad on a server I play on with my friends, where we made our entire base on a giant raft.
ShadowRaptor1O1 haha rip man got my prayers
That’s why I use a mosa with platform
It just wants to sing karaoke :(
He's not gonna eat you!
Jerry...?
Jerry.......?
I stand corrected you rebel.
Dang, 1 year later I find a comment from Hats...

Just imagine the size of the sushi
Would it be giant sushi or a lot of regular sized sushi?
Considering the size of the thing...
WHY NOT BOTH TYPES
João Paulo .😂😂😂
The sushi would be fucking delicious
Or a atom LOLOL9LOL
Megalodon fanboys flaunting their shark while I'm here with a leedsichthys
The game ARK: Survival Evolved has very accurate representations of both these prehistoric beasts. The megalodon is very noticeably smaller (took three tries to line up properly because big fishy kept moving around) being around only a third the size. The leedsichthys has been speculated to have has the same temperament as every other plankton-feeder, which has also been reflected in ARK. Shame you can't tame the leeds in the game; however, you can pen them up as my tribe has had three and can be manipulated as a form of defense, one of said three took out 5-6 enemy-tamed megalodons as well as a few other things before it was killed.
It's like a fish thats whale sized
Azura's Cape Fanboys?? What abou fangirls..
Azura's Cape have you heard about our lord and savior the Leviatin? Devourer of megaldons?
So true
megalodon is bigger
than a gold fish right?
nice
Goldfish = 100x bigger
Gold fishes are way bigger than megalodons
THE ALASKAN BULLWORM
gold fish are 10000000000000X bigger than the megalodon

Monster?! It's adorable.
Whale shark isn't too small compared to the giant river monster, if this monster is about 8 times the size of a human being, that means it's Close to 45-48 ft, but the average whale sharks range from 41-45 ft which isn't too small.
agnidipta hom roy Uh, they are refering to a Basking Shark...
Carl Theodore I. Delarmente the basking shark is still alive
Carl Theodore I. Delarmente Basking sharks are not mentioned or referred to in the vid.
Giant river monsters still exist, they're called crocodiles and over sized catfish.
@Del Deleon That's right the full name of this Fish is Leedsichtys Problematicus because they cant figure out it's right proportions. The estimated size varies between 9 meters (29,5 feet) to up to 27 meters (90,6 feet)
Is it just me or am I the only one who would willing hug a whale shark? IDK WHY BUT I JUST WANT IT
Not just you. I'd do it too.
Ok and for all we know there is shit 3x this big just chillin down there in the ocean
Not really. Dont beleive the commercial propaganda people sell. The idealized fantasy of the mysterious ocean isn't that mysterious. We have a pretty damn good grasp of whats in the ocean.
we have not thoroughly explored most of the ocean, but if there is anything worthy of the title leviathan, then we would of noticed it. large animals need lots of space, and lots of food. we would also see it on sonar, and we have used sonar pretty much everywhere.
jerrod lapham we Have mapped our the deep ocean trenches. Do you know how much exploration that took? There is plenty we Haven't explored but thats because we have a pretty good grasp of what's there. It costs too much just to find and study new microscopic species and trash and etc.
precisely. we have a pretty good idea of what is there, but we don't have the time and money to put each microlitre of water to intense study. its not worth it.
We know more about space than we do the ocean. Only a few times have we successfully went down to some of the deepest points. The ocean is bigger than all land masses combined. That's a lot of water to explore. So yeah there could be something huge down there and we would never see it. Actually it doesn't even have to be at the bottom of the ocean. The ocean is so vast that there could be a rare species of some creature that is only a couple hundred feet down.
I don't feel like calling them "Monsters" is very accurate. No matter what they look like, they are beautiful creatures.
m.czcams.com/video/o1afjgKlkY4/video.html
Not sure about you but I wouldn't consider this as "beautiful"
WindfallKid I think he calls them "monsters" because they're really large
That's a contradiction.If they look awful or are very big,they're monsters.
I completely agree with you we only think of them as monsters but are beautiful creatures and we are stepping into their territory
Jack Phillips Well at least Leedsichthys doesn't really care about people stepping into its territory anymore. Becouse its dead. And has been for over a 100 million years.
So that prehistoric monster is 50 ft long? Well perfect size for other predators that top the scales
There are only a few predator larger than it and they did not live in the same time
@@himynameisbob1568 yea the fish bigger then this 50 foot long fish is the megalodon and blue whale
It's not a 'river monster' more like a sea monster LOL
THE WHALE SHARK IS SUCH A BEAUTY. IT DESERVES IT'S OWN MIRROR!!!! MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL.... SO LOVELY TO WATCH & COMMUNE WITH.
English.
ITS OWN
Yeah, a "river monster" that only lives in the ocean... what is this guy on?
Fat Yolk Maybe they made him talk about this? Anyways, if you watched this show you would know he only goes fishing in the river.
Crack and hookers
seaWEED
Fat Yolk
Oceans are technically much bigger rivers
And rivers much smaller oceans...?
He ran out of RIVER monsters. Went to ocean
How many times did u practise drawing that fish on the beach with a stick?

Ghost Dragon yup. That's not a good wife.
In soviet russia, fishsticks eat YOU!

And a whale is a big Mack
A human is a tin fry
A shark is a burger
Tiny fish are straw berrys
A snake is a edible straw
Cthuluh for him its a big Mack
That's how big it is
joemar Legaspi it's spelt big Mac
joemar Legaspi if I was in the water and something that big were near me I’d die of fright if I lived I’d shit in my pants knowing I was nothing more than a sardine to that giant.
Nah man whales get way bigger than this thing.
Cthulhu*
It's amazing to know that the sea once harboured such mighty and large creatures
It still does
WE ARE LITERALLY AT THE PEAK OF BALEEN WHALES
*Blue Whale shows up*
Whale Shark: Fuck Tom is here
Whales are mammals.
Everyone knows what was that giant filter feeder! It was a Leedsichthys!
didn't it eat krill?
Evil Dogger filter feeders eat krill
Offtrailed Dino I
Ivan Pascuttini not just krill, small animals in general (usually invertebrates) that get caught either in baleen (ceticarids come under this category) or in a large mouth
Here's a fun fact for ya. This monster only has 1 descendant living today. The bowfin. I've actually caught a bowfin in far East Texas before. Pretty cool catching a descendant of the largest fish that ever lived! Someone should have informed Jeremy Wade that the bowfin and Leedy are related! Would have made for a nice catch opportunity. Plus bowfins themselves are kinda scary.
As a fish tank hobbyist, fisherman and someone who is heavily into paleontology, i appreciate leedsycthis getting some love.
After years of seeing this in my recommended i have finally watched this
3 stars
This is why I stay at the pool
Both Leedsichthys and Xiphactinus are not freshwater fish, but they are both monster fishes.
I get more contenders for the greatest river monster:
1. Pannoniasaurus inexpectatus (Freshwater Mosasaur)
2. Spinosaurus aegyptiacus (the Sail-backed Predator of the Bahariya)
3. Sarcosuchus imperator (the crocodile from Hell)
4. Deinosuchus rugosus (Monster Gator)
5. Purussaurus brasiliensis (Super Caiman )
6. Titanoboa cerrejonensis (Titanic Killer Boa)
We don’t even truly know what the hell is down there? But what’s scarier is that we can’t even reach the bottom.
So, it eats Plankton from Spongebob Squarepants?!
Leedsichthys biggest fish to ever live
The Whale Shark is awesome! :-)
I have one of those living in my back yard, his name is bruce
0:47 - 0:53 me looking for new lies I should give to my therapist
iT MUST HAVE BEEN A MAGNIFICENT CREATURE. HOW UNFORTUNATE IT WENT EXTINCT THOUGH. WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT MARVEL TO SEE.
DONT YELL AT ME!
Knew it would be Leedsichthys. Thank you Ark Survival
I just LOVE the title of this video
hey victoria a few days ago i saw you at starbucks
A Whale Shark is harmless, Jeremy, you big baby!
It might not be as big as a blue whale.but damn for a fish that's massive. I mean imagine going fishing and that biting the line
Wolf ofDimensions your boat would break in half, your going to need a bigger boat*
Wolf ofDimensions OMG A COMMENT ABOUT THE FISH THAT WAS IN THE VIDEO THAT DOESNT BRING UP megalodon
If your profile picture is anime your opinion doesn't count
Blue Whales arent fish.
Omg I wouldn't go in the water holy snitzel
Love the sound affect when it opens its mouth! 😂Xd

Sand drawings, the new cgi
Daniel Blinder his drawing actually looked beter tbh
I love Jeremy wade
There's a giant shadow in the water... Time to jump in..!
what
Megalodon,mosasaur and dunklossues should work together
Dunkleosteus*
BROKEN DEMOLITER WILSON none of those were bigger
They all pale to compare with yo mama
I’ll stop :|
3:29 my reaction to the red wedding
Well I haven't watched Animal Planet in years but their quality content keeps dropping.
Megalodon wasn’t the largest fish to ever exist???
WesleyAPEX no megalodon was the biggest shark but I'm sure leedsithchtys was bigger
No
Leedsichthys can grow to 90 feet if you are being generous
Megalodon's size is often exaggerated in pop-culture. There isn't even a consencus on its size. The approximations vary, going from 11 meters up to 16, similar to large Mosasaurs. Whale sharks can grow bigger than that. But yeah, Megalodon is the largest predatory shark we know of. Compare that to the largest recorded male Physeter macrocephalus sizes, and it's clear that even though Megalodon was monstrous, modern day sperm whales are substantially bigger. They might even be the biggest predators that have ever existed. Leedsichthys is now estimated to have been around 13 meters on average, with large individuals reaching up to 16 meters. The body sizes of these prehistoric creatures tend to be over-estimated at first, but it's quite typical that over time, as our knowledge grows, such estimations are reduced and lowered. It takes a while for this to reach the masses, though, and so when you read up to date scientific papers, you'll see more realistic size estimations, whereas pop culture still lingers on those truly gigantic estimations. Look at "The Meg", the movie, for instance. People just like to hear about 30 meter long Leviathans, and everything has to be bigger and larger and more mysterious than it actually is. I blame America for this, lol.
@@ooga_8046 Leedsichthys*
a leviathan *gets memories of a reaper leviathan*
"I wonder if I should" what are you scared of, Whale Sharks are peaceful as hell.
Omg when it opened its mouth I was like “gasp nope!NOPE!! IM OUT!!”
Oh my fuckin god why does it take so long to say the name of the fuckin fish
Eric Lewis suspence
What about the megladon?
ImNord Read the title.
Clap your hands to the Leedisichthys, the largest fish in the Mesozoic and the largest fish ever to live.
Hey Kathalina ===>. M-E-G-A-L-O-D-O-N
It's not a bony fish, most of their "bones" were actually cartilage.
A LEEDSICTHYS IS BIGGER THAN A MEGALODON
I love this show, I watch it whenever I can.
3:30 fish pog
I stopped watching Animal Planet because it isn't "animal" planet anymore. I switched to Natgeo Wild. Anyone else know what I mean?
Animals in My House me too, animal planet sucks now, natgeo wild is the stuff
Elven Rune yessss I swear I did the exact same thing. Natgeo is actually dealing with the stuff I’m looking for
Elven Rune same, they should call people planet.
**Megalodon** : “I thought I was the biggest predator
Megalodon:hah I'm the king here I'm biggest
The bloop:what do you mean you are huh?
The true shark pog
A whale shark is a small fry compared to the largest fish (a whale shark)
Drew Bolton Leedsichtys*
Makes you feel puny doesn’t it?

I died at that drawing 😂
“A big shadow form under the water “

O-O if the ice caps melt humanity is ded
not all of humanity
what if it ate meat........
Two Girls, One Cuphead true
T4piok4 I be afraid of being swallowed like a sardine were just tiny insignificant things compared to those things!
GOOD MORNING MASTER No one plays in the water besides me ;-;
Megalodon is nothing compare to him
It couldn't survive... with it's immense size it'd never be able to hunt and eat enough.
Me at 3:25 - 3:30: Welp there's my nightmare fuel for the next year
Sharks are so scary, more when it's 1:00 am and you are watching shark videos xD
That is a beast of a animal pherhaps it might still be alive because plantons are still living today.
Can you not? Planktons are still alive so Filter Feeding Fishes fan eat them.
Technically its possible, considering barely 1% of the oceans has been seen by us, so however unlikely it is, megalodon could still exist, hunting whales and such, mosasaur could also exist, doing its thing and spongebob could, THEORETICALLY exist.
Chun Meng Quek But due to Darwin's law of competition, the Leedsichtys would be out competed for food by todays more efficient modern whales.
Mosasaurs are giant
Supercooper28 no the one in Jurassic world is inaccurate they are a foot bigger than a whale shark
They weren't fish though.
Supercooper28 MMMMMMM THEY WEREN'T BIGGER THAN A GOD DAMN BLUE WHALE, YOU GOT THAT???????
Not that much, actually. Jurassic World was as far as it could be from the real Mosasaur. The largest Mosasaurus Hoffmanni could grow up to 12 meters. It obviously can't be considered small, but looking at beasts like the blue whale, Leedsichthys or Carcharodon Megalodon, it's just a small lizard.
They're not fish tho
I like how his scanning the ocean and hoping this whale shark just magically jumps out and shows itself
It"s so terrifying and beautiful at the same time.
Isn't Megalodon 60 Feet and that 50 Also if you say MEGALODON WAS A SHARK What's the biggest fish now? Yah a SHARK!
lisami219 no Megalodon grows 60-80 Ft
Of it was preserved it will grow 40-60 ft
Please do include evidence in arguments because I'm still neutral in which sides are bigger
I wanna see proof it exists, not some digital created model.....
Coolness94 It's extinct. There's only fossils to prove it.
yea, I wanna see the fossils.....there is no fossil proving this large creature....
Search it on Google do something, research if u care so much
I'm thinking you maybe don't buy into this whole Evolution thing... Do you
You sound exactly like one of the people who would shit their pants and curse me to hell and back when I wanted proof that god exists.
I somehow went from watching Bowling trick shots , to watching Animal Planet ._.
Basically Gordon Ramsay in fish form 😂
R a w .
The biggest fish is THE MEAGALON plus xifatinus is only 6-9 meters megaldon is 30m blue whale is 24m soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
pilkers2 ur not being serious are you?
Megalodon is 18 meters on average, the blue whale can be over 100 feet (which is much, much bigger than 18 meters)
Please for the love of god get a scientific book about fishes (plural of fish species, for your concern) and please learn proper grammar before you comment something on CZcams
Megalodon fanboy
butttt LEEDSICHTHYS is 80+ meter so what BITCH
sharks are also fish so whats with the megalodon
Anja R. No megalodon wasn't small
NO DUDE
THE MEGALODON WAS 20 METERS LONG
Boney fish are more closely related to us than to sharks.
Max Michels
GAMP The Biocomputer The dunkleusteus is larger
Ohhh yes I used to watch this show then forgot what its called. Happy to find it again!
Whale sharks are the most gentle giants, they feed off plankton and have never harmed a diver, young ones will even swim around with divers to play in the bubbles their tanks expel
I think I'd rather have a Goldfish, thank you- bye *leaves*
He would be good at sixty nine
I'm more scared about those yellow things in your mouth
"theres a gaint shadow under the water!"
*jumps in the ocean*
I still freaking love this man
okay time for me to correct all those people saying the megladon was 50 feet even though the biggest one was 88 feet and the average length is 80 feet... NOW PLEASE HATE ON ME FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS
Gerson Pontes Defective
Gerson Pontes megalodon was not 40-50 feet. It 60 or more
Gerson Pontes 40 was the minimum length not average. But yeah they never grew 88 ft. Tbh we don’t know for sure exactly how big they were.
Welcome to the under 301 club. Are you tough enough?
He's out in the freaking ocean with a snorkel lookin for whale sharks! What a guy.
The Bloop: That's cute
