In age of steam, people's activities at sea have expanded, but no one has seen that terrible thing. It was not until 100 years ago that people first found its trace in nature.
/kloc-one day in 0/873, in Newfoundland, Canada, three local fishermen went out to sea to catch fresh fish, which is rich in fresh fish. This kind of fish has long side shoulders, a bluish-black back and a silvery-white abdomen, and its meat is fresh and tender. When they were fishing on the sea with a fishing boat, suddenly, they found a huge gray thing on the sea. Out of curiosity, they immediately rowed a small fishing boat. A fisherman beat the gray thing with a boat pole. Unexpectedly, as if angered him, the gray behemoth immediately sprayed water, looked up, stared at the three fishermen with a pair of eyes as big as plates, then stretched out its long tentacles, exposed its parrot-like mouth, and clicked on the side of the ship as if it were hungry. At the same time, slowly dragged into the water, two elderly fishermen were scared to do nothing by this sudden change. However, Tom, a little fisherman who is only 12 years old, is very calm. Tom is a witty and brave boy. He immediately picked up a sharp axe and cut at the tentacles. The two tentacles were quickly cut off, and the injured behemoth had the same instinct as the squid. It sprayed a lot of ink-like juice into the air and ran away in a hurry.
The fishermen woke up from the panic, exhausted all their strength and rowed the boat back to the fishing village crazily. The two cut tentacles of the gray monster still fell on the boat and kept twisting; When the fishermen in the village learned about this incident, they all came to listen to them tell the scene of panic, but no one could tell what was going on.
Finally, Tom, a clever boy, sent two tentacles to Mr. Han Wei, the priest. Mr Han Wei is knowledgeable and well informed. He was ecstatic when he saw these two tentacles sent by Tom. He knows that this may be a new kind of squid, which is worth studying. He kept these two tentacles as very rare specimens.
This is the first recorded discovery of the king squid. From then on, in the last few years of 65438+ 1970, there were traces of the king squid in the waters near Newfoundland. Pastor Han Wei collected several specimens of the king squid, and even one was complete.
Strangely, the king squid seems to have disappeared from the waters near Newfoundland within one day, and fishermen have never seen them again. These gray giants don't know where to go.
Up to now, compared with 100 years ago, little progress has been made in the study of squid, mainly because people can't find its trace.
