Octopus is a kind of large fish winding in a long strip, which is about 9 meters long and weighs about 300 kilograms. Its body is bright silver, its ventral fin is red and paddle-shaped, so its original English meaning is paddle fish, and its dorsal fin is red. It's very long, as high as two stories. It starts from the top of the head like a mane crown, which is rarely seen on the water. Some people occasionally see it and mistake it for a sea snake. People usually think that they are monsters that sweep the bottom of the sea and destroy everything.
Yellow croaker only lives in the warm deep waters of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. It is a carnivorous fish with fierce temperament, preys on all marine animals that can be found, and also has cannibalism.
Scientists believe that all this vicious behavior of octopus stems from the lack of other fish and food in the deep sea where they live. They have evolved for a long time to survive.
Aristotle wrote in the Animal History written in the 4th century BC: In Libya, sea snakes are huge, and sailors sailing along the coast say that they were attacked by sea snakes during their voyage.
In fact, this legendary monster is not a sea snake, but a deep-sea giant hairtail, which scientists call yellow hairtail, because this giant hairtail with a length of 18 meters has been living in deep-sea waters, which is difficult to capture and observe, and people know little about it. For thousands of years, it has been full of mystery.
