A recent underwater video shared by OceanX has left many viewers terrified after encountering a massive prehistoric shark.
The footage, filmed in the deep sea, shows a bluntnose sixgill shark, a species that predates most dinosaurs and is known for its terrifying size and presence.
In the video, sand clouds swirl as the shark’s massive head slowly emerges, prompting observers to describe it as a “monster.”
The shark, which can grow up to 20 feet long and weigh as much as 500kg, appeared to take an interest in the submarine, with some joking it was “bigger than the sub itself.”
The bluntnose sixgill shark is a dominant predator in the deep sea and is capable of reaching sizes of up to 1,000kg.
The unsettling footage has sparked a wave of comments, with many viewers commenting on its human-like eye and massive size, comparing it to something out of a sci-fi movie.
Some even speculated on the possibility of even larger creatures lurking in the ocean’s depths.
The video is a reminder of how little we know about the unexplored parts of our planet’s oceans, leaving many wondering what other terrifying creatures might still be out there.
