He wrote in a related book, "When the giant octopus was alive, it had frightening arms, each of which was at least 30 meters long and as thick as the mast of a big ship. It has hundreds of disc-shaped suction cups, and the largest suction cup has a diameter of at least 30 cm. " The longest record of the straight arm of an ordinary octopus is only more than 6 meters. In addition, the monster on the west coast of Tasmania and the Norwegian sea monster (Kraken Tentacles Of The Deep) are also giant octopus or squid, but there is no conclusion.
Further confirmed as whale tissue.
Before a biological research team led by Sidney Pierce intervened in this research, people had been arguing about these sea monsters for centuries. Since 2004, the biological research team, led by the biologist Sidney Pierce of the University of Southern Maryland, has examined all the accessible corpse samples of sea monsters. They used photoelectric microscope, biochemistry, molecular analysis and DNA test to confirm what kind of animals these mysterious sea monsters belong to. Sidney's research team pointed out in the biological announcement that through microscope and DNA analysis, they have been able to confirm that the "meatball" sample genes found on the beaches of Tasmania, New Zealand, Bermuda and Newfoundland in Australia are very compatible with the sample genes of several whales in the sea. By dissecting the meat balls found in Chile by 1986 under the microscope and comparing their chemical compositions with those of the sea monsters found all over the world, it is found that they are very similar, neither belonging to giant octopus or squid nor other mysterious invertebrates. These samples are all from the same creature-whales, which may be tissues of whales or sharks.
The third guess is 1 100 million years ago paleontology.
Judging from the materials about sea monsters in this century, the news varies greatly from place to place. For example, it is said that the sea monster has something like a mane around its neck, and it is very big. It is also reported that the head of a sea monster looks like a lizard, and it is not very big. It is also said that the monster's body is cylindrical and its skin is dark brown. Even more bizarre, an American witness in 1966 said that the sea monster he saw had a long neck like an ox, no horns and no ears, and his eyes shone with frightening green light. Some people have also comprehensively studied the materials that found sea monsters in a period, and reached a third conclusion: sea monsters may also be plesiosaurs or other paleontological species 65.438+600 million years ago. People can't help but ask: How did animals 65438+600 million years ago survive to this day? In fact, considering the stable environment of the ocean, it is possible for some ancient creatures to survive. You can also find such an example. 1964, scientists obtained sea lilies from the ocean at a depth of 540 meters. A few years later, bright red sea urchins were obtained. These animals were1.500 million years ago. They were seen in fossils and are still alive.
If this theory holds, can it be considered that the sea monster handed down by people in the past may be just one of the underwater paleontologists 15 meters long preserved in ancient times? Of course, the number of such ancient creatures is very small. They live in a stable deep-sea environment, so it is difficult for people to see it. However, this is still only a logical explanation of the sea monster, which does not mean that the mystery of the sea monster has been completely solved.

Chile's "sea monster" does not belong to cetaceans.
On July 3, 2003, the corpse of "Sea Monster" was found on the beach in the tenth district of southern Chile. The news spread, and many media speculated that the local scientific community thought that this marine animal was probably a giant octopus or squid.
The body of this "sea monster" was found on the beach near Maolin Port, which is more than 0/000 kilometers south of the capital Santiago. According to the field investigation of the local whale protection center, this animal carcass is12.4m long, 5.8m wide and10.06m thick, with an estimated weight of13t.
Elsa cabrera, director of the Whale Conservation Center, told local media that the initial report received by the center only claimed that a whale carcass was found, until experts went to the scene to verify that this marine monster had neither whale teeth nor whale tissues, and its color and smell were not cetaceans.
According to Cabreira, the meat of this "sea monster" is tight and hard, and it is difficult for ordinary knives to divide. In addition, most experts in the center believe that this marine animal is very similar to the suspected octopus "sea monster" found on the coast of Florida in 1896.

Living fossils of paleontology
In fact, this phenomenon does exist on the earth now. Some creatures should have been extinct as early as tens of millions of years ago, but magically, they are still in a corner of the earth, stubbornly living with our current species.
Giant panda: In the late Miocene about 8 million years ago, there were already giant panda footprints on the earth. The giant panda is one of the oldest animals in China. They lived on this wonderful planet long before human beings appeared, and were praised as "living fossils" of paleontology by scientists and archaeologists.
Acipenser sinensis: Acipenser sinensis originated in Mesozoic 1 100 million years ago. It is the oldest vertebrate and is known as a "living fossil". The life span of Chinese sturgeon is very long, and it can live for one or two hundred years. Fish are generally three or four meters long and weigh up to 500 kilograms. Sturgeon has a few hard bones in its head, but its spine and cheekbones are all cartilage, and there are no thorns all over its body. It has a sharp nose and an oval body. There are tentacles in front of your mouth, so you can search for food in the water.
Lungfish: It lived 300 million years ago. They usually breathe in water with their gills. When the water is dry, they wrap themselves into a mud ball with mucus and mud secreted by their bodies, leaving a channel for communication with the outside world. Then they breathe with the deformed primitive lungs of the swim bladder and have a good sleep. When the river is full, they return to live in the water.
Air stickleback: This fish lived more than 300 million years ago and became extinct 70 million years ago. But someone caught them twice in the southeast waters of Africa. It is about 1.5 meters long, and its body surface is covered with hard scales, emitting a blue-and-white luster, as if wearing a layer of armor all over, and its head is particularly hard. The most incredible thing is that it has fins on both sides of its chest and abdomen. Compared with the fins of other fish, these fins are particularly fat, just like the feet of wild animals.
