The marine biologist talks the ramifications of finding the larger-than-life fish.
While a majority of shark species are relatively small and might not even surpass the scale of other fish, part of what has captivated the excitement of so many Shark Week enthusiasts is the staggering size some shark species grow to be.
Tom"Blowfish" Hird: I suppose it probably is one and the same. From the non-shark community, the question that I certainly feel I get asked the most is about Megalodon."Is Megalodon still around?" And no, just no. We've got tons of fossilized proof and evidence and we've got living proof that Megalodon isn't here, which is down to the fact that we have predatory toothed whales. So yeah, that's the question, it's like,"Oh, is Megalodon still...
Oh, yeah. I mean, sometimes you'll get a question so dumb you'll be like,"Oh, I think you've just given me brain cancer." And yeah, you get a question that shortens your lifespan and you think,"Oh, I could just go and play in traffic instead of speaking to you." Even here and now, you've got Elon Musk. When he is not trashing social media or building trucks that look like they wouldn't withstand a strong breeze, you've got him saying,"Let's go to Mars." Like,"No, no, no, mate, why don't you try and go to the bottom of the ocean first, then let's go to Mars."God, no. Yeah, oh dear.
