What Monsters Ruled the Ancient Seas? | For Sleep, No AI Documentary

Video Description

No AI is used in this documentary. So enjoy knowing you're watching real content, by real storytellers and scientists! Who swam alongside Megalodon? What monsters ruled the ancient seas? And why did so many vanish from a world they once dominated? Our team explored the ancient marine world of the Miocene, featuring the massive predatory whale Livyatan, seafloor-foraging marine sloths, and of course, the iconic Megalodon. With help from the team at @NaturalWorldFacts, we researched how the Humboldt Current shaped this ecosystem, and what eventually led to the disappearance of these giants. This isn't just about fossils; it's about understanding how ancient oceans, fueled by the powerful Humboldt Current, supported these astonishing creatures. We’ll unravel the science behind these ecosystems and look at how these giants eventually disappeared. 00:00 - What Don't We Know About the Megalodon?
