7 Deep Sea Mythical Creatures That Actually Actually Existed - Part 2 | Deep Seekerz

Think of a place which is 70% part of the world, but only 5% of it has been explored, and 95% of it is unexplored. What can happen in that unexplored darkness? Are there any monsters hiding and waiting for humans for millions of years? And these creatures are so dangerous that one of them is such that it can easily drown a big ship like Titanic. And was there any such monster in drowning Titanic? Yes friends, in today's video, we will learn about some such mythical deep sea creatures. So watch the video till the end. Friends, Nothosaurus means False Lizard, but it would be better to call this hidden creature Sea Assassin. This creature lived in the Trisic Period, about 240 million years ago. Its body was streamlined and like a lizard, but the neck was long and the teeth were sharp like a snake. This creature used to attack by hiding. First it used to swim on the surface easily, and then it would attack the prey with lightning speed. Scientists say that it possibly had a dual lifestyle, which means that it could live in both water and land. But its most strange feature was its jaw structure. Its teeth were at such an angle that once the prey went inside, it was impossible to come out. Just like a snake, a trapping mechanism, where every movement pulls the prey further inside. If you look at Nothosaurus, it looks like a hybrid of an ancient crocodile and a marine lizard. But the behavior was more dangerous than that. It used its long neck like a spear. Friends, Tusotethis is the name of a prehistoric squid. It was so big that if it was near the Titanic, people would consider it a Kraken. This squid lived in the Jurassic and Cretaceous Period. According to some experts, its size could be up to 30 to 40 feet. Which means that it was as big as a school bus. That too in the middle of the sea, silently swimming. Its body structure was like a modern squid. But the tentacles were longer and more muscular. And its ink cloud was like a black fog, which blocked all the vision in the deep sea. And the most important thing was its beak. It was curved like a bird and so strong that it could even break the shells of an armored fish. Friends, it was a predator and a strategy-based hunter too. First it would confuse, then it would turn around and rap. And in the end, a sudden bite. Tusotethis's fossil was first found in the Kansas region of America. Which means that the sea was spread there at that time. Imagine you are in a submarine and a giant shadow stops in front of you. The tentacles slowly tap on the glass. So how would you feel? Friends, if this name was in Jurassic Park, people would have considered it a villain. Talosaurus was a marine creature. Means Sea Dwelling Reptile. And its size was up to 50 feet long. Which means as big as a two-story building. Friends, its body was long like a snake, but with powerful flippers. Its skull was long and had a double-hinged system in its jaws. Means it could open its mouth extra wide. And it had curved, backward-facing teeth. Which would never let go of anything once it was in its grip. Talosaurus was not a normal hunter. It was an apex predator. Friends, in its stomach fossils, there are many fossils of other Mosasaurus. Which means that monsters like us were also its prey. And friends, its speed was also terrifying. 30 to 40 km per hour. That too underwater. And when it would jump from the surface, it would literally look like a blue missile. Imagine a 50-foot monster floating under a cruise ship. How would you feel? Friends, even though the name is Saurus. Basilosaurus was not a dinosaur. It was an ancient whale. But it looked no less than a giant sea serpent. And friends, it lived in the Eocene period. Approximately 40 million years ago. And its size was 60 feet long. Its body was like a snake. But its body was like a mammal. And it had all the qualities of a predator. And it was not at all like today's whales. Basilosaurus's brain was small. But its aggression was very high. It would kill even small whales, fish and turtles and eat them. And the strangest thing was its hind limbs. Very small useless legs. Which was a sign of the evolution of land mammals at that time. Friends, Basilosaurus was first considered a myth. But now its fossils have been found. Where we talk about deep sea monsters. Not everything is a killer there. There were some monsters that were terrifying in size. But peaceful in nature. Leedsichthys was a prehistoric fish. Which was 16 meters long. That is, it was up to 52 feet. And its name came from Leeds. Where its fossil was first found. And it was the largest bony fish in the world. Think of a fish that is as big as the whole boat. But only eats plankton. Its mouth was big. But there were no teeth. Friends, this fish was a filter feeder. Just like today's blue whale. But the difference was that the blue whale is a mammal. While Leedsichthys was a proper fish. Friends, science first thought it would be aggressive. But when the skull structure was studied. It was found that it was the silent queen of the sea. Some people say that ancient sea monster myths. Like giant fish swallowing boats. May be based on its sightings. Friends, where Megalodon is everyone's favorite sea monster. People forget Kratoxyrena there. But it was the shark. Which used to be the king of the oceans before Megalodon. Kratoxyrena is also called Ginsu Shark. Because its teeth were just like Japanese Ginsu knives. Very sharp, serrated and deadly accurate. This shark was 25 feet long. And ruled in Jurassic and Cretaceous period. Its fossil record was found in the Midwest of America. Where there were oceans at that time. Friends, Kratoxyrena's bite force was less than Megalodon. But it was more aggressive than that. Its hunting style was stealth and speed at the same time. That is, attacking the prey with silence and a lot of speed. It detects slow-moving prey. Approaches silently. And then tears it in one blow. Ancient turtles, marine reptiles and even small Mosasaurus have been found in its stomach contents. Which means it was not a small fish. But it was an apex predator. Squalicorex Friends, Squalicorex is a strange name. But the history is even stranger. This creature was called Crow Shark. Because its behavior was like a scavenger crow. This shark was found in the Cretaceous period. And its size was up to 15 feet long. But its behavior was the most special thing. Squalicorex did not just hunt. It was also a scavenger. Which means it also ate the leftover meat of other predators. And sometimes it also attacked weak prey. Which cut dead bodies efficiently. Science has also detected its bite marks on dinosaur bones. This is proof that it also went to the corpses of land prey. And when fossils were found where the teeth of Squalicorex were embedded in the dino bones. Then theories were made that it was also a shoreline killer. Friends, these creatures were not imagination. All this was true. Deep sea where light cannot go. There were such monsters who broke the rules of the world. Alien in appearance. Ghost in behavior. And nightmares in size. So friends, are these monsters really extinct? Or are they still hiding in the depths of the sea? That too in the darkness of the deep sea forever. And friends, which creature did you find the most dangerous? Do let me know by commenting below.
