For hundreds of years, rumors about sea monsters have circulated around the world. It is said that over the past 300 years, nearly a thousand people have witnessed sea monsters. Observation locations include North America, West Africa, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean, etc.
In December 1947, an ocean freighter in Greece struck and killed an unknown marine animal. According to witnesses, the slain monster was approximately 2.5 feet wide at its widest point. about 5 feet long and a very long neck. The entire body is cylindrical, with a diameter of 5 feet. The outer skin is dark brown and hairless. In 1966, two Americans decided to row across the Atlantic to create an astonishing career. Around two o'clock in the evening of July, they suddenly saw a long shiny object emerging from the phosphorescent waves. , an animal head that had never been seen before emerged from the water. A pair of protruding eyes,flashing green light, looked at them coldly, swimming slowly and turning its head on its long neck. While fishing in southern New Zealand, a Japanese fishing boat trawled a dead monsterfish at a depth of 300 meters. The monster was nearly 10 meters long and weighed 2,000 kilograms. It had a long neck, a long tail and four large fins. the head is small and flat, with many teeth in the mouth and a crocodile-shaped tail. This is obviously an animal that people have never seen before, the stench emitted by the strange fish must have made the crew unbearable. throw it away. Japanese scientists only saw photos of the dead monster taken by the crew. Based on these photos, they thought the monster might be a descendant of a plesiosaur from 160 million years ago, while French researchers thought it might be an ancient giant species . have disappeared. The sealss lived about 20 million years ago.
So far, people's opinions about sea monsters are still divided. Some people think that, in theory, no animal can exist alone in the world. Once the number of organisms is reduced to a certain critical number, it will inevitably lead to extinction. Therefore, there cannot be any sea monsters in the ocean. sea monsters are just an illusion. But some say human understanding of the ocean is too limited to rule out the existence of some little-known underwater creatures. The discovery of the coelacanth, thought to be extinct 70 million years ago, is one example. Are there sea monsters? What is a sea monster? This still requires time and practical testing.
