An Interview With Sharkzilla AKA The Shark From Shark Week

One of the best, most exclusive interviews we landed at VidCon 2013 was with a 52-foot animatronic fish with seven-inch steel teeth that goes by the imposing name of Sharkzilla. The manmade megalodon is the mascot of Discovery Channel’s Shark Week. And after an epic appearance at Comic-Con, he made his way up the California coast to Anaheim to grace the halls of VidCon with his massive presence.

The progeny of a 1.5 million-year-old extinct species and savvy mechanics, biologists, and engineers with a fantastic sense of internet culture showed off an insatiable appetite in the presence of YouTube auteurs, aficionados, and fans. He easily chomped down on a bicycle, a couple of surfboards, and the beloved SourceFed

In between meals, Tubefilter’s very own Drew Baldwin was able to catch up with the hungry fellow in an attempt to get to know the fish a little bit better. The resulting interview with Sharkzilla is equal parts ominous, entertaining, and enlightening. Give it at watch:
