crap a night howler
actually been able to recreate
A Megalodon?!
this calls for an investigation
Hey guys Bill here as many of you already know I have been on the hunt for evidence proving that Megalodon still exists today
I mean if you've even been at Bill's channel since like say subscriber
500-thousand you know this is a big issue with me and I have to say that a lot of you guys have responded earnestly and
Honestly, but unfortunately every single thing that gets sent in is a big fat fake!
So you can imagine my excitement when I received this screenshot of a news story on CNN about a Dubai
Billionaire prince who found a way to resurrect the Megalodon and not only that there's a picture
Claiming to show this new Megalodon in a huge aquarium in Dubai
The screenshot was sent to me by a young man who goes by the name of shark bait
He wrote "Bill, Can you tell me if this is real or fake?"
Well, Mr Bait you know when I first heard it
I was like no way, but then again that screenshot you sent in was from the front page of
CNN a very big reliable news source
unless you watch fox which in that case you.. well, that's a whole different debate.
But anyway in addition to this I've also been reading a lot of stuff lately about something called resurrection
Biology now that's a method where scientists are now able to bring
Extinct species back to life using Dna from their dead bones or whatever they can find, it's a little complicated
but they call it 'De-extinction'
and scientists have already brought back an extinct goat called Abu carta
They did it by collecting frozen cells from the corpse of a Bucardo to create an embryo
They then injected the cells into goat eggs and place those into a surrogate
Moma goat who later gave birth to?
to a Bucardo now to be honest a Bucardo did not live very long
But it does prove one thing and that is it can be done
So here's the question if it can be done with the Bucardo couldn't it also be done with a megalodon?
especially if you've got
Billions of dollars to spend see where I'm going with this
I mean who knows maybe you could get the dna from an old megalodon tooth and then use a mama great white Shark as a
surrogate mother
"Thats good!"
I was very anxious to read the whole article and immediately went searching around the internet for the whole story and
That my friends is how I came up with this the official answer, but if you watch this show
You know not even a megalodon could make me open up this before you open up that
Now when I say go what I want you to do is yell out as wide as you can't do this real
Okay, now if you can't do that
It's okay to pause the video go to the comment section
Leave your answer there
and then come back here and play the rest of the video to see if you're right or not
A third way to go is just to vote right up here. You're ready and
go
Okay, did you do it good because without any further delays I'm going to get right into this envelope no other pictures no other videos
nothing because
Actually, I am really excited to learn about this. I mean if there is a megalodon back in this world
I want to be the first youtuber to go to Dubai
Jumping that tag with a gopro and get some up-Close evidence
Actually, I'll probably be on the other side of the glass, but hey, that's good enough anyway
Let's see what it says here the news article claiming a billionaire prince was able to recreate a megalodon has been carefully examine
I havent been this excited about an answer for a long time. Anyway
Based on all the evidence presented we have determined that the story is
This is more than i expected
SO FAKE ITS FUNNY!
All right one more time
A big fat fake, but hey if you're thinking about clicking away right now listen
Don't do that because I want you to hear something because there's a whole lot more to that story
And it's really about something else. It's really about a moron who tried to
Prank Bill's channel and the Chewy Piranha now you got to be a real idiot to do that
But if you do do it you better be pretty good at which this guy was it listen to this when I searched the internet
I really couldn't find the story anywhere, so I went back to shark bait email now maybe one of the reasons
It wasn't showing up on my search is it because shark bait told me. He's got this screen capture from a news article in 2013
He said it was a screengrab that he took from his very own computer
I was about to dig even deeper, but then I noticed something very suspicious on that screenshot
And that is this a picture of president Donald trump right next to that Megalodon
I went back to shark bait and asked if the screenshot is from 2013
Then why is there a story on President trump?
Who didn't become president until 2017 shark bait wrote back?
Sorry, I guess I explained it badly the screenshot is actually from three days ago. The story popped up as a
A flashback story because just that story was from 2013 the other stories on that news page were
contemporary news stories
"explained it badly" excuse me you just
Wrote me, and told me you made this screen grab in 2013 and now you're like oops. I actually did it three days ago
All right, okay, all right
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I've got another question
since when did CNN start putting
Flashback stories on the front page and not telling anyone, it's a flashback story "say whaat?"
"dear Sharkbait
I'm going to have my team contact Cnn to verify the information you provided before I do that
I just want to make sure you are certain. You're telling me the truth. Is there anything else you want to tell me?
Thanks Bill"
Sharkbait, "okay, let me check it out one last time like I said I wasn't the one to take this screenshot
And I also mentioned that my friend could have been playing a trick on me. "Okay, so let's say now
I couldn't remember what I did a screengrab four years ago, or three days ago now
Maybe I didn't even do this screengraph. Maybe it was my friend who did it and was pranking me?
guys I
Don't mind if you want to prank me. I mean, you know it's a lot of fun
I love the back and forth and the whole thing, but the only thing I have is
if you're going to do that can you at least at least have a single shred of
Intelligence about it get your story straight and don't actually be somebody so dumb that you really are shark bait what?
"What an idiot. ahhh!"
what a loser
in the end shark bait sent me a screenshot of a
Conversation between him and another guy named Alex Alex admitted the whole thing was a prank
Even though shark bait blamed the whole thing on Alex
He followed up by sending me all the pictures he used to create the prank and apologize for wasting my time
The so-called Megalodon in the picture was really a great white and the aquarium is actually in Japan
Not Dubai and so my friends
I think the real lesson of our video today is how easily fake news can be cooked up
I mean if the kid as young as shark bait here can pick up some fake news can you imagine what?
Professionals can do I mean that's pretty scary
There's a lot of people out there that say we live in a post truth world
I'll be honest with you. I don't think that's the truth. I think the truth is out there
99% of the time, but you got to use your noggin you've got to look for second sources
You've got to think critically and most of all you have to watch
"Real or fake" see you next time
