Most will think the megalodon would win because it has been stereotyped to be SUPER powerful. So, they changed the name to the Hebrew spelling. Depends who gets a bite in first. leviathan would be too hard for meg to win and colossal squids which grow up to 22 meters or sperm whales up to 19 meters or liopleurodon which can grow up to 26 meters all beat meg (meg grows up to 18 meters). Imagine being so stupid that you think 3 let alone 2 killer whales could beat an average megaladon. Had they continued to thrive, and shape the ecology of the world’s oceans, surely our seas would look much different today. Let’s take a closer look at each of these prehistoric sea monsters. Among the possible guesses, one of the most interesting is that Livyatan may have subdued larger prey items by head-butting at high speed, thereby knocking them unconscious at which point those formidable teeth would have come into the picture. Granted livyatan is smarter than the megalodon but they have the same size and strenght and the megalodon is faster and more agile. Granted we will never know 100% what occurred back then but I’d also reference the social groups that most whale species seem to travel in specifically the predatory whales and dolphins (sperm whales, orcas, and other dolphin species). Livyatan attacks with its tail using blunt force like a cane, club or hammer. If megalodons are 60ft on average, and you go by the biggest example of all time with like 80ft, you should do the same with the whales, what would make them 50ft. shark, it can equip up to 3 pets at a time and can break purple crystal walls. Dolphins that are smaller Than a Big Shark or sharks that are smaller than Orcas already cause problems for the larger animal depending on the circumstance. it will probably bite off megs gills and meg wil be a dead fish... leviathan has 2 times bigger teeth and its smarter. Megalodon's bite force was 40,000 pounds of bite force. but if meg bites first, it will kill livyatan. Oh and to livyatan meg is right they were both 18 metres(60 feet). But what about in a head-to-head encounter? But of the two massive animals, the killer whale may be the more formidable one, a new study has found. But why did these monsters die off when other sea creatures of the same time flourished? Some of the arguments in the comments seem to be based on false assumptions: "I think Leviathan wins due to present day evidence of similar interactions between great whites and orcas.". Or was it Megalodon? With such an impressive set of choppers, one theory regarding Livyatan’s hunting strategy might be surprising. They said megalodon because it had a stronger bite force and more robust body so If livytan rammed megalodon could endure the hit and I'm a smart biologist man so believe me so megalodon win 51 % of the time livyatan 49% of the time. they are idiots. Livyatan was a sperm whale, not an orca. Also, say it's 4 Orcas and 1 Great White, all the Oracs have to do is flip the shark over and it's immobile. Both of these predators lived in every ocean of the world, which were much warmer at the time. Actually sperm whales and Livyatan are not the only cetaceans with thick skin. The leviathan is very bulky and is more likely to survive a seriour injury than the megalodon. so duh leviathan would win. There other animals that could beat megalodon like the Triassic "kraken", which fought off nine 45 ft long Shonisaurus and maybe a sperm whale, Mosasaurus or Shastasaurus. So Livyatan definitely wins. So, what do you think? Sure its a guranteed kill with a bite that could crush a car, but remember that livyatan also has an instakilling bite, so all it matters is who attacks first. The Combatants: Megalodon VS 100 Orcas Rules: Megalodon is 60 feet in length. The Livyatan would win because the Meg went extinct while the sperm whales still exist. Now replace it with a 20m 75 ton shark with skin 20 cm thick and jaws wide enough to bite even the largest orca in half. Even though these beasts had gone extinct long before modern humans were even around, there is still something in us that fears the deep abyss of the open ocean, and what may lurk in its depths. meg is not bigger it is 18 meters and leviathan is 18 meters and its teeth would sink in and kill meg. Since it's a shark it's faster and more agile than the whale. Great Whites can be considered prey of Orca Whales, even though I believe that a Great White could we in s fight against an Orca if it's alone. but much like modern cetaceans (whales, dolphins , and porpoises) its likely that the livyatan did not live a solitary life. Depends. There is some debate over whether it is closely related to the Great White, or whether it was the last in a lineage of giant toothed sharks. During the Miocene Epoch, some 13 million years ago, they competed for the same food and the same turf. Once 9 sperm whales fought slightly over thirty orcas(the most intelligent non human animals), the orcas were only able to kill one before being forced to flee despite outnumbering their adversaries by a factor of 3. TomCatX [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons. Whales today travel at 25-35 mph when scared. Megalodon teeth=7 inches. I think Leviathan wins due to present day evidence of similar interactions between great whites and orcas. That’s how whales escape orcas. I don't think livyatan hunts sharks considering there are no known evidences of that but the megalodon is used to hunting whales and livyatan is one of them. The Orcas want a dead Megalodon. Agility goes straight to the whales. Melville's sea monster may have been fictional, but a huge predatory whale called Livyatan did once stalk the world's oceans, along with the massive Megalodon shark. It also would have possessed much greater intelligence than Megalodon. Some say megalodon ate Livyatan but it was an ambush predator and Livyatan might have eaten it too. so livyatan would sense it and bite it off. In case one, the first attack of the megalodon could be fatal for any type of cetacean, but not in the case of lyviathan or sperm whale because of its layer of skin and fat reducing the impact. I was lowballing the whales size and high balling the shark to show that it stood no chance. There are many animals that could beat megalodon. the whale need air and while the whale have air,megalodon bite it body and then the whale tries to attack but it was too late.The whale sink and die. They were filter feeders, ill-equipped to defend themselves, and easy prey. During gold rush, its points multiplier is 8X. Livyatan wins but both animals are equally awesome. Megalodon has 180kn bite force. either of these relatives both work in pods for self defense. The megalodon however uses its agility to overcome bigger whales, its likely that they know how to turn corners while being quick. I don’t see how intelligence will be the most important factor. So, depending on the circumstances, it’s easy to see each of these monsters getting the better of the other. meg too so it is basically orca vs great white duh who wins? In other words, while sperm whales are a bit more intelligent than great whites, they're not nearly as intelligent as truly intelligent animals. Livyatan can seriously injure prey by making a noise(clicking). A genus of ancient whale called Cetotherium would have been a target for both Megalodon and Livyatan. As a whale, it probably had echolocation too. It was smarter, bigger, and that's not to mention the Livyatan's tooth size (over a FOOT long). At lengths of up to 60 ft. long the Megalodon would be twice as large as the killer whale (one of the only cetaceans known to hunt and kill sharks and other marine mammals). Again I don’t think it’s going to one or the other in every encounter but I’d put my money on the predatory whale. Yes, its teeth were more like those of a scaled-up orca, but in terms of other aspects like speed and manoeuvrability, I think it would probably have been more like a modern sperm whale, and we don't have any evidence of modern sperm whales attacking great whites. Until 2008 it was thought that Meg was the biggest, baddest thing in the prehistoric sea. In 2015 a small juvenile 18m 30 ton blue whale was attacked, and it took 35 killer whales 17 hours to severely injure it, and they didn't even succeed in killing it. animals ever lived 41.000 pounds that around 19 tons but the livyatan whale had twice bigger teeth megalodon was faster with 70 kmh and megalodon also had a thick body so it can take a hit mabye megalodon would go for his These are the kind of creatures that have spawned myth and legend since mankind first went into the water. If livyatan were to damage them the shark would be doomed. although shark can't do anything when they are flipped over but remember, Meg is way weighter than leviathan, so leviathan has no chance to flip Meg over before it ripped in piece by Megalodon. In the instance of a fight between a full-grown male of the former and a full-grown female of the latter though, I think given what we know about modern sharks and whales in almost all instances, Livyatan wins, barring poor health or a preexisting injury that would compromise its ability to overcome Meg. Baboons have high intelligence, yet are preyed upon by leopards so intelligence wont be the deciding factor. Today this is seen in whales that dive deep for their prey, but Livyatan is thought to have been a surface hunter. WHale is wrong because the Meglodon can kill anything, Megalodon wins because it is bigger and faster and more stronger bites and it will bite all the fins of the Livyatan and the Livyatan will headbut the Meglodon and the Meglodon will destroy the Livyatan life it is just like Carcharadontsaurus bs I mean vs T Rex which Carcha is bigger and TRex teeth is larger and Carcha is faster and more stronger than the average TRex, Meglodon will win it is not about it’s size because it is 40-60ft and the Livyatan is 40-60ft too so they are the same length but the Meglodon is 100tones and the Livyatan is 50tones but the true reason is it’s speeds which Megalodon is 56Km and the Livyatan is 50Km and the Meglodon bite was 18-20tones and the Livyatan is 10tones but the Livyatan got a bigger head which is used for headbuting which made the Meglodon 60% and the Meglodon bites all its fins but forget the killing one the tail and the Livyatan quick reacts using its bites and the Meglodon is 40% and the Livyatan is 50% and the bites the Livyatan tail and nearly managed to tore it off and the Livyatan is going to the surface to breath but the injuries slowed it down so the Meglodon did final kill chrunching the Livyatan heart and lungs and the Livyatan is no more, Meg would win because it is bigger faster and more stronger bits and bigger jaws but there is more advantages Meg can headbut the Livyatan belly but that would end in big trouble it can take huge chunks from the Livyatan but it must be ambush because it is not intelligent as the Livyatan and even it is fish so it can drown the poor beast poor Livyatan but if the Livyatan bellyflopped the Meglodon it is big trouble time for the Meglodon because it can not fight and it is having trouble because the Livyatan can throw it on land but the Meglodon still can play dead we all know that Meglodon has huge teeth but it turned out that the Livyatan has huger teeth but the Meglodon still wins, Megalodon would likely be the winner because with a much stronger biteforce and way faster and more thicker hide I mean skin and well adapted to the sea and slightly bigger but I think the Livyatan would win when the Meg is a teen and the Livyatan is a adult and Livyatan would because it is skater so it could react with a quick speed I wold give the winner to the Meg but it’s just slightly.
