There's a huge difference in the fact that the whales would have sonar and could use that to detect food.

Megalodon on the other hand doesn't have that advantage,

而巨齒鯊就沒有這方面的優(yōu)勢(shì)，而且它們反倒有劣勢(shì)，

and they actually have a disadvantage in that they have to stalk these large prey, which can detect them in the case of whales using sonar.

大型游動(dòng)的爬行動(dòng)物，如海豚似的魚龍，

that looked like a giant, long neck turtle, once ruled the sea and influenced the evolution of the Megalodon.

和看起來(lái)像長(zhǎng)脖子的巨型海龜一樣的蛇頸龍，曾經(jīng)統(tǒng)治過(guò)大海而且影響到了巨齒鯊的進(jìn)化。

During the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods, huge swimming reptiles filled the same role as Megalodon did during its time.

在侏羅紀(jì)和白堊紀(jì)時(shí)期，巨型游動(dòng)爬行動(dòng)物扮演著巨齒鯊在它的時(shí)期同樣的角色。

And so these whales, in order to compete with this massive shark, found safety in numbers, and they also found power in numbers as well.

所以這些鯨，為了能夠與這種龐大的鯊魚競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，在群體里找到了安全感，而且它們也發(fā)現(xiàn)了群體的力量。

通過(guò)研究這些史前巨獸后代的行為，

experts have been able to uncover new insights into the fascinating details of how they ruled the seas over 15 million years ago.

鯊魚有非常出色的一套感覺。

It can actually feel the whale moving through the water.

能夠感受到鯨從水中的移動(dòng)。

Receptor's in its nose allows it to pick up these tiny electrical impulses that are put off every time the whales move a muscle.

它鼻子里的感受器讓它能夠接收到鯨每一次移動(dòng)時(shí)所發(fā)出的微小電脈沖。

The Meg is able to size up its prey before it even sees it.

The Megalodon's skin was covered with tiny taste buds called denticles.

巨齒鯊的皮膚覆蓋有稱作髓石的微小的味蕾。

These allowed it to taste through its skin which helped it more easily find and identify its prey.

And if you were beneath the Megalodon looking up, you wouldn't be able to see him.

要是你在巨齒鯊下方向上看，也沒法看到它。
