And to date, not one has been found, filmed, or recorded. I'll wait until that actually happens before I come out and say I believe they exist.

Look at deep blue, the pregnant GW shark.
20 feet at least.
Despite our best efforts to kill or poison them or pollute
Them to death.
They are out there....

for a Great White. The average size of a White is 14-16 feet, with some of them getting up to 18-22 feet. What this video is trying to say is that there could be a White as large as 35 feet, which would pretty much make it Megalodon.

I myself remain very skeptical that we would not have discovered such a creature if it existed by now.
