Why did Megalodon become extinct? - Jack Cooper and Catalina Pimiento

Description

Dive into the ocean’s depths to see how the gigantic megalodon ruled the seas, and find out what caused its extinction.—20 million years ago, the ocean housed a creature so colossal that its stomach could reach volumes of almost 10,000 liters— big enough to fit an entire orca. It was the megalodon, the biggest shark to ever live. So, what was it like when megalodon ruled the seas? And what brought this formidable predator to extinction? Jack Cooper and Catalina Pimiento investigate.Lesson by Jack Cooper and Catalina Pimiento, directed by Vitalii Nebelskyi, and action creative agency.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-did-megalodon-go-extinct-jack-cooper-and-catalina-pimientoDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-did-megalodon-go-extinct-jack-cooper-and-catalina-pimiento#digdeeperAnimator's website: ----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
