Well-known legendary and mythical sea monster of gigantic proportions. Cephalopod mollusk known from the description of Icelandic sailors, from whose language it its name. According to legend, it lives off the coast of Norway and Iceland. There are different opinions about what his appearance.
Danish naturalist Eric Pontoppidan in his first summary of marine folklore about Kraken wrote that he is an animal the size of a huge island. According to Pontoppidan, Kraken so strong that can grab tentacles and pull on bottom even the most large fighting ship. And when the animal sinks to the bottom, a dangerous whirlpool is formed, which can become fatal for the vessel.
The sailors said that the Kraken takes three months to digest food in his stomach. In this time he is committing a huge number of nutritious excrement. Therefore, it is always followed by large clouds of fish.
GM... Interesting question. Can there be a giant squid to hurt big ships? Even if it is longer than 10 meters. The weight of the squid reaches up to several hundred pounds, but I think it is still not enough. Giant squid-dangerous predators. Most likely, will attack the person and will cause damage to small vessels.
But in the film you can see the things that squid breaks through the shell plating of ships with its tentacles. But on the it and movies)). Without a skeleton squid may not take this feat)). They are strong only in water, and on the surface simply helpless.
And yet, some scientists believe that the legendary Kraken can be the most common giant squid. You know why?? Giant squid have the biggest eyes among all living beings. The diameter of these lovely eyes, reaches more than 30 cm, Just think! Sucker tentacles very durable, diameter 5 cm with them they grip prey. The body of a giant squid includes ammonium chloride, with its help it retains its zero buoyancy.
Now I said to myself, who is this mysterious and legendary Kraken). I hope my article was interesting for you.
