Post 2 MEG

"Proffesor taylor, we’re all familiar with the discovery of the coelacanth, but there’s a big difference between a five-foot bottom feeder and a sixty-foot predator!"(9). As the elderly man raises his hand in the audience asking about the proffesors thoughts on the carcharodon megalodon and if he thinks it still exists or not. The elderly man continues to ask the proffesor many questions about the carcharodon megalodon, the only problem about that is the proffesor doesn’t know anything about the MEG. The whole study and research that all the scientists and proffesors are doing are just trying to prove even if the MEG still exists. They know that it existed many thousands of years ago but now that the change in the water temperature has dropped at such a rapid pace that it hurt the MEG and killed it. Now even with all the ice bergs in the oceans the proffesors think that there is a zero percent chance of the MEG still exhisting. They are saying that even the whales are starting to become exstinct because of their massive size, but they say a large whale or great white shark is very very small in size compared to the MEG. The proffesors are saying that the great white is the MEGs modern-day cousin with the same conical tail fins. Even the audience says that the proffesors are right by saying that the carcharodon megalodon does not still exist and is not roaming the oceans. Proffesor taylor is very agitated by the elderly man asking so many questions that the proffesor doesn’t have any answers to.

Post 1 MEG

"Wailing in agony as its rib bage was crushed within the jaws of its hunter, a fountain of blood spouting from its mouth."(4) A twenty-ton, sixty foot, nine-inch serrated teeth, Megalodon. As the "MEG" chases the T-Rex in the thirty-foot water, it grabs the T-Rex and thrashes it around like a rag doll. It crushes the T-Rex’s rib cage with its giant jaw. After the T-Rex fails to catch its prey, it all of a sudden becomes another creaters prey. Although the MEG has nobody else to share its catch with, it still devoures it as of nothing. As the T-Rex was trying to grip its massive claws into the muddy sandy sea bottom, it saw the six foot tall grey dorsil fin swim straight at it then dissapear under the mucky water of the sea. It feels its leg get pulled out from underneath him but cannot stop itself from being pulled out farther into the sea. The massive deep sea creature has the T-Rex locked in its jaws so it is not getting out. The shark throws it out of the water as of nothing. The shark is about three times the size of the T-Rex. As the shark dissapears underneath the mucky stirred up sea water with the T-Rex, all it leaves behind is a thick trail of blood and a few ripples in the water from the massive fin on the sharks back. The Hadrosaurs that were being hunted by the T-Rex have been watching the whole thing with the shark eating the T-Rex. After they have witnessed it, they has run far into the forest to get as far away from the shark as possible. Basically, land creatures don’t belong in water.
