Deep in the Antarctic, what giant monsters are there? Giant sponges, giant starfish and giant squid.
Deep-sea phobia stems from people's fear of the unknown.

Human beings know so little about the ocean, and 200 meters below the sea level is a dark world. Who knows what is frightening in the unfathomable ocean? As the largest and most primitive ecosystem on earth, the ocean is not without the possibility of huge creatures that humans have not yet discovered.

Recently, scientists went to the Antarctic seabed to look for giant monsters. Because if there are giant creatures in the ocean, it will only get bigger in Antarctica. This is the so-called "polar giant disease". Scientists have found that some very common marine animals will become very huge when they arrive at the South Pole.

In the investigation, scientists found a giant starfish with a diameter of 30CM, a giant sponge with a height of 1 m, and a sea spider as big as a human fist. In the cold Antarctic sea water, the underwater world is unusually prosperous. Without a square meter of Antarctic seabed, there is no life.

Among the giant creatures that have been found in Antarctica, the giant squid is undoubtedly the most attractive, and this is the "King Soup Squid".

So far, humans have found many kinds of giant squid in the Antarctic, with the "King Sour Squid" as the main representative. The body length of "King Sour Squid" is close to 5 meters, and its weight can reach 500 kilograms. Moreover, "King Sour Squid" is obviously different from ordinary squid, and sharp hooked claws have evolved at the end of tentacles. At first glance, it really looks a bit like an alien creature.

So far, human beings have not captured the living body of the "King Sour Squid", but in the scientific investigation, the expedition team really met a "King Sour Squid", with huge eyes and reddish-brown body surface, which made people excited and a little scared. Unfortunately, in the end, this "King Soup Squid" escaped into the deep sea, and we failed to catch it.

In addition, the expedition team also found the Styx jellyfish as long as 10 meter in the Antarctic, and its tentacles floated around in the water, which was very strange, so it was also regarded as a creature from hell.

Is this all about Antarctic giant creatures?

Not really. The reason why the Antarctic can breed so many giant species is that it is surrounded by cold ocean currents and isolated from the seawater from the equator. Cold seawater can dissolve more oxygen, so it can allow the existence of giant creatures, and there are many plankton and krill in Antarctica, which provides a rich food source for Antarctic giant creatures.

So we shouldn't be surprised if one day Patrick is really found in the South Pole.
