When did humans first discover the king squid?

There is a terrible legend in Europe: there is a sea monster in the Norwegian Sea. Its body is the size of a football field, covered with talons, and its eyes are like a huge ship. But legend belongs to legend, and no one has ever seen this most terrible thing.

in the steam age, people's activities at sea have expanded, but no one has ever seen that terrible thing. It was not until more than 1 years ago that people first found its trace in nature.

One day in p>1873, in Newfoundland, Canada, three local fishermen went out to sea to catch fresh fish, which was rich in fresh fish. The fish had a long side shoulder, a bluish black back, a silvery white belly and delicious and tender meat. When they were fishing at sea with a fishing boat, suddenly, they found a gray behemoth at sea. Out of curiosity, they rowed the small fishing boat at once. A fisherman pounded the gray thing with a boat pole. Unexpectedly, as if it had angered him, the gray behemoth immediately sprayed water, looked up, stared at the three fishermen with a pair of eyes as big as plates, and then stretched out its long tentacles, revealing a parrot-like mouth, biting the boatside of the boat with a click as if hungry. At the same time, Slowly dragging into the water, two older fishermen were scared by this sudden change, but Tom, a 12-year-old fisherman, was very calm. Tom is a witty and brave boy. He immediately picked up a sharp axe and cut it at the tentacles. Two tentacles were quickly cut off, and the injured behemoth had the same instinct as cuttlefish. It jetted a lot of ink-like juice into the air and fled hastily.

The fishermen woke up from the panic, and with all their strength, they rowed their boats back to the fishing village like crazy. The two cut tentacles of the gray-white monster still fell on the ship and kept twisting; After the fishermen in the village learned about this incident, they all came to listen to them telling the frightened scene, but no one could tell what it was.

Finally, Tom, a clever boy, sent two tentacles to Mr. Hanwei, a priest. Mr. Hanwei is knowledgeable and well-informed. When he saw these two tentacles sent by Tom, he was ecstatic. He knew that this might be a new species of squid, which deserves a good study. He kept these two tentacles as a very rare specimen.

This is the first recorded discovery of the king squid. Since then, in the last few years of the 197s, there have been traces of the king squid in the waters near Newfoundland, and pastor Hanwei has collected several specimens of the king squid, even one of which is intact.

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-white behemoths don't know where to go.

Up to now, the research on the giant squid has not made much progress compared with more than 1 years ago. The main reason is that people can't find its trace.
