do you even know what a megalodon is well take a look at this bad boy
this may be a scene from a movie but the megalodon was indeed a real
big giant monster that actually existed if you think this was a scary sea
monster you're in for an even scarier underwater trip
here are 10 sea monsters scarier than megalodon
hold on to your swimming suit monster on the top of this list may repel you from
swimming forever number 10 the helicoprion
just look at it it's everything but something i'd want to come across
why is a shark allowed to have a buzz saw for a mouth
but lo and behold here's the helicoprion which is thankfully extinct
the fossils of this 270 million year old fish have long mystified scientists
because the only remains of the fish are its teeth as its skeletal system was
made of cartilage which doesn't preserve well no one can
determine how these teeth that look similar to spiral saw blade
fit into a prehistoric fish long assumed to be a species of shark
located in the back of the jaw the teeth were just like a saw
with a jaw creating a rolling back and slicing mechanism
the helicoprine is said to slice their prey fully in half

number nine the umibazu not all the monsters have to be real to give you a
fright some mythical creatures are pretty good
to keep you up at night playing with your imagination
the umibazu is a sea dwelling creature from japanese folklore
their true form is unknown as they're only ever seen from the shoulders up
but they appear to be roughly humanoid in shape with inky black skin and a pair
of large round eyes supposedly umibazu are the vengeful
spirits of priests who drowned at sea their appearance is that of a giant
human head with a shaved scalp and an eerie smile
they have also been described as having cloudy or misty shrouded bodies
with serpentine limbs according to legends movie monsters capsize ships
and drown seamen who insult or disrespect them
what other sea creatures could beat a megalodon let us know in the comments
section below number eight leopardon like many
prehistoric animals discovered in the 19th century
leopardon was named on the basis of very scanty fossil evidence
which consists of exactly three teeth each of them almost three inches long
excavated in a town in france in 1873. since then marine reptile enthusiasts
have found themselves saddled with a not particularly
attractive or transparents name which translates from the greek as
smooth-sided teeth if its massive appearance wasn't enough
with its four broad flat long flippers their paradigm could
thrust itself through the water at a considerable clip and perhaps more
important for hunting purposes quickly accelerate in pursuit of prey
when circumstances demanded one convincing hypothesis based on the
forward-facing position of the nostrils on its snout
is that this marine reptile had a well-developed sense of smell
and could locate prey from a fair distance away
number 7 the kappa kappa a seemingly comical creature is nothing
of the sort if you just imagine this thing
pulling you underwater kappa is generally the size and shape of a humans
child with scaly skin their bodies are built
for swimming with webbed thumbless hands and feet and a
turtle-like beak and shell their elastic waterproof skin reeks of
fish and is said to be removable their preferred method of attack is to
drown or bite their opponent to death underwater
they particularly despise cows and horses and will attack animals for no
reason at all they have been known to kidnap swimming
women and devour humans alive offering of cucumbers seemed to get them
on a right track so keep one in hand around riverbanks
just for safekeeping
my picks for today is the story of a beautiful lady turned into a nightmare
that being number six gila skila was a supernatural female creature
with 12 feet and six head on long snakey necks each head has a
triple row of shark-like teeth while her loins were full of heads of
bane dogs from her lair in a cave she devoured
whatever ventured within reach her counterpart is charybdis a
whirlpool-like sea monster that consumes water and ships in some stories she
boasted her beauty and compared it to the gods in another
tale circle tricked her lover into poisoning her out of jealousy she
tried poisoning her rival's bathwaters but she turned into a ravenous monster
instead in other tales she was pursued by
poseidon whose wife amphitrite transformed her jealousy if you learned
something new don't forget to smash the like
and subscribe button number five leviathan here is one of the worst
mythical demons of the sea great leviathan this dreadnought derives
its name from the old hebrew name leviathan which means twisted or coiled
when the old testament was translated into greek it meant the word dragon
the leviathan is a biblical sea monster almost unanimously it is said to be a
sea creature of immense size some report that its body resembles that
of a whale with a thick cylindrical body and fins sometimes it
is depicted as more of a dragon like creature
covered in a body of scaly armor sharp claws
rows of razor teeth the ability to breathe fire and
a thinner more serpentine body either way
it's sure a trembling sight number four the leviatin melville it is not uncommon
to know the fact that killer whales hunt other species of whales
working in packs to take down much bigger prey but living whales have it
easy those that swam off the coast of peru
around 12 million years ago were hunted by a far bigger predator a
recently discovered animals with a very appropriate name leviatin
vietnam villi was a giant sperm whale that has just been discovered by belgian
scientists at around 42 to 59 feet in length it was
no bigger than the modern sperm whale but it was clearly far more of a
monstrosity leviathan's mouth was full of huge teeth the largest of
which were a foot long and around four inches wide number three
the ikku torso ikku torso is a malevolent
sea monster in finnish mythology his appearance remains unclear but he is
described with several names and meanings such as the one who lives
on the brink death thousand-headed or even thousand
horn this creature of the sea is pretty much
pure whore it was sometimes said that he lived in
pogiola but that may be because pogola was
often perceived as the home of all evil he is also mentioned as son
of the god of sky which would make him a ridiculously powerful creature
number two bobbit worm it truly is unnerving that we have
explored about five percent of the ocean and that we still discover creatures
this horrifying this ghastly creature is the bobbit worm
found hiding on the sea floor at depths of 30
to 130 feet the bubba worm can't see but has five antennae that it uses to
sense its prey as soon as its antennae are disturbed
the worm senses a heavy shadow above it snatches at prey using a complex
feeding apparatus called a pharynx the mandibles on the
end of the pharynx are so sharp and strong that the habit worm sometimes
cuts its prey clean in half while snaring it and will store the
remains inside its burrow for feeding after those horrendous mandibles perhaps
the second most intimidating thing about the bobbit worms
is how big it can actually get they range from the size of our arm to a
scary 10 feet long dug deeper under the seabed number one
cthulhu cthulhu is a powerful creature who lies in a death-like slumber beneath
the pacific ocean in his sunken city humans can never
fully understand cthulhu because his very existence
is beyond moral comprehension the creature is designed as a monster of
vaguely anthropoid outline with an octopus-like head whose
face was a mass of feelers he has a scaly rubbery
looking body prejudice claws on hind and four feet
and long narrow wings behind it is said to be so terrible that it destroys the
sanity of those who see it for the reason of it being so massive
and definitely scary it deserves our number one spot thank
