What's really in the deep sea? Sea monsters are a topic that people have talked about since ancient times, and today we are going to take a look at the sea monsters in human memory.
1. Giant Royal Striped Bass
Many ocean explorers and sailors may have seen a sea-dragon like creature and mistakenly thought it was a sea monster because it looked all white in the ocean. This sea monster is in fact the world's longest bony fish - the royal belt fish, but also because of the giant royal belt fish look like a dragon, known as the "White Dragon King", giant royal belt fish body length up to 15 meters, has been close to the body length of 17 meters of the ancient giant whale Melville Whale, and for humans is really as huge as a sea dragon
2. Basking shark
Basking shark is the world's second largest fish, when they eat can present a unique appearance, this plankton eating sharks will open its mouth, sucking plankton in the sea water, its maximum body length can reach 12.19 meters, some people fear that the basking shark is capable of devouring humans. Basking sharks are better known by their death samples, which make them look like a sea monster. Because its gills rot so quickly, when a dead basking shark's body washes up on the shore, it is reminiscent of an animal with a long neck.
3. Giant squid
Although giant squid are the world's largest invertebrates, they remain an unknown mystery to the scientific community. We've only recently captured video footage of them in their habitat, and there have been dead giant squid washed up on shore or recovered by fishermen before. 2004 was the first time that Japanese scientists captured video images of a live giant squid, and in 2008, the National Science Museum of Japan salvaged an 8-meter-long live giant squid, which has the largest eyeballs in the animal kingdom, with eyes that can be as large as 25.4 centimeters in diameter.
