We've explored 5% of the ocean. What has evolution been doing in the other 95%?

We've only explored around 5% of the ocean. Given how evolution works over millions of years, is it theoretically possible that a descendant of Megalodon could have survived and adapted into something we've never seen? Not the original animal, but something that evolved from it into a deep ocean apex predator. Genuinely curious what the science says.

I was just watching a video that mentioned it and was written pretty well. Just made me wonder.

Here's the video if anyone is wondering - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcuKTOmi5G8&t=128s

Just posted my first mystery/documentary animal video. Complete beginner here, I just posted my first video after weeks of work. Nervous but excited.

Would love any feedback from people who've been at this longer than me. Still figuring out editing. This is not intended for self promotion, I just wanted to get tips on the editing. I get help from my brother who edits videos a lot and has helped me along the way, but I just wanted to see if anyone had anything else to say or help me with.

Thanks My channel

If anyone wants to see the video, the channel name is Ghost Species and the video is about a Megalodon. I did some research and found out that the best time to post long form content is Sunday mornings and end of weekdays. Lmk if that is right or I should change my posting schedule.

The US government recorded the loudest underwater sound in history, said it sounded biological, then quietly changed the explanation 15 years later

NOAA’s hydrophone network listened to something across the Pacific Ocean in 1997. They named it The Bloop.
Their own scientists had said the acoustic profile seemed biological. Like a living thing.
And then for years they sat on it.
When the official explanation finally came—they didn't exactly announce it loudly.
The hydrophone array was built to listen for Soviet submarines. We don’t get to see everything it records.
What did they really hear?

I was just wondering if the Megamouth discovery in 1976 changes how you think about Megalodon's extinction at all?

A 36 million year old shark. Never documented, never theorized, found completely by accident when a Navy anchor snagged one off Hawaii. It had been there the whole time.

I find it hard to square that with the confidence some people have that Megalodon is definitely gone. The fossil record going quiet isn't the same as confirmed extinction — especially in an ocean we've barely looked at.

Not trying to start a cryptid argument, genuinely curious how shark people think about this.
