种 神话中的怪物确曾存在。
英国「每日邮报」（Daily Mail）报导，麻州霍利 奥克山学院（Mount Holyoke
College）古生物学教授 麦曼纳米（Mark McMenamin）说，从海中动物遗骸上的 痕迹
，他发现可以证明一个古代、像公交车大小的章鱼种 （像神话中Kraken海怪）跟这些
海洋动物的死亡有关。
The find hints that a prehistoric octopus was large enough to kill and eat
huge ichtyosaurs - was the Kraken more than a mere tall tale?
Discovery: Researcher Mark McMenamin says this arrangement of lizard bones,
which were brought to this area in a pattern of a tentacle, could prove the
existence of the Kraken
Giant octopi have been a staple of fiction - and fishermmens' tales - for
centuries. The real thing, though, seemed to prefer other huge sea creatures
to men - and most definitely didn't walk on land
Today's cephalopods - even the largest - are rarely much bigger than a human
being. The largest existing specimens of this Pacific giant octopus species
tend to weigh around 150lb |
