00:00Good evening, Kapuso! I am your brother Kim, who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
00:10In Peru, in South America, a fossil was discovered that was believed to be led by one of the most terrifying creatures in our ocean, the Great White Shark.
00:20How old is this shark fossil?
00:23This is one of the most recent discoveries by paleontologists in the Pisco Basin in Peru.
00:33This is a fossil of Cosmopoliditus hastalis, a type of shark that is estimated to be 9 million years old.
00:39These sharks are extinct, but their jaws can reach up to 8.9 centimeters.
00:45While adult Cosmopoliditus hastalis can reach up to 7 meters in length.
00:50Did you know that this shark is believed to be the ancestor of one of the most terrifying creatures in our ocean?
00:59The Great White Shark
01:01Just like the Great White, the Cosmopoliditus hastalis are also predators.
01:05Their favorite prey is sardines in the Southern Pacific Ocean, where they live.
01:12But this is not the biggest fish that lives on our planet.
01:15Do you know what fish this is?
01:17Guess what it is!
01:25The Megalodon or Otodus Megalodon is the biggest fish that has ever lived on our planet.
01:30They can reach up to 15 to 18 meters in length, which is three times bigger than the Great White Sharks.
01:36Because it doesn't have bones or fins, most of what we know about the life of this fish comes from the growth of its fossil teeth.
01:45Just like the teeth of my fossil collection.
01:48This one is 5 inches long, and this one is 4.5 inches long.
01:53The Megalodon has the longest fossil teeth, which is 7.48 inches long.
