THE KRAKEN

In various parts of the world there is always the eternal mystery. In Norway for example, kraken sea monster story is so intriguing, not only ordinary people but also scientists. Kraken monster story is so legendary among sailors Norway for thousands of years. Kraken first term is obtained in a journal Systema Naturae (Carolus Linnaeus, 1735). Journal that contains the name of the Norwegian monsters that live in the 12th century. There Kraken is told as a very large living creatures in the waters around the north of Norway. sea ​​monster Kraken existence of this back story reinforced in 1752 when a bishop who came from Bergen, Norway Erik Ludvigsen Pontoppidan named wrote a book called The Natural History of Norway. Pontoppidan describes in his book that the kraken is a many-armed creature with a long suction device that can swallow the ship following awakya. He also described the creature is a length of more than 20 meter, 5 meter head and eyes as big as dinner plates. Want to know the diet craze of this monster? Include squid and other smaller whales. Wow ...... Controversy and Assumptions At first, the stories of sea monsters described by previous sailors never seriously considered by scientists. These stories are regarded as fables of drunken sailors. Then, after investigation, it turns out this legend is true, and indeed there is: Krakken often told the sailors that might be a kind of giant squid (Architeuthis dux). This giant squid is probably the only creature that approached during the centuries the legend of the kraken. For years, scientists have also spent millions of dollars to catch or at least to photograph giant mollusk that lives in deep water. However, no results whatsoever from this costly expedition satisfactory.

 Squid specimen greatest expected to reach 65 feet in length, but the newly discovered about 26 feet in length, when a biologist from the Japanese film muluska (a type of squid) from a depth of 3000 feet for the first time. These shocking discoveries prove that at a certain depth of man is still not fully aware of the hidden mysteries of nature. (See also: Japanese Scientists Discover Giant Squid) Actually there are many stories that could strengthen the existence of sea monsters kraken like this. But until now still seputaran between controversy and assumptions. In 1955, a Canadian newspaper published a mysterious story learned from the sailors. A sailing ship that crashed into something strange. From far away, it looks like a decayed whale or a giant jellyfish floating on the water surface. When the ship approached the object, sailor John Squires leaned on board to attach it. But after touching objects such as iron hook jellyfish, a huge tentacles out of it. Sailors were afraid and fell on the deck. John was shocked and her face pale. Sailors that was devastated by John Squires never go to sea again since that day. Now let's go to Scotland, Loch Lake, home of yet another mysterious monster called the Nessy. Every year the media reported a lot of evidence and witnesses who met with this monster. They believe Nessi is part of a natural phenomenon that is really real. Nessy monster story appeared in 1966 through a Royal Air Force pilot. They filmed an episode in which one of the creatures that cross the lake Loch. When the researchers examined the records, they concluded that this was a living creature. As the monster across the lake; movements form the letter "V" on the surface of the lake. Alleged that the monster of Lake Loch is plesiosaurus life. But could these prehistoric creatures survive millions of years? This is possible because of the turtles, crocodiles and sharks live in the same era with plesiosaurus and still survive to this day. Moreover, two thirds of the world covered with water. This is a large area to live and could not reach a human. Not clear whether the later marine aquarium will show him the way to the scientist. If this happens we will be able to see the sea caves inhabited by something like what we read in books just fantastic.
