My Deep-sea Fishery

Xiang Yang has heard many legends and reports about giant octopuses.

In all kinds of fantasies of human beings, the depths of the ocean under the turbulent waves are almost synonymous with darkness and fear.

The English word - abyss - comes from the Greek, which means "the abyss of despair".

The depths of the ocean are not only boundless darkness, but also dangerous, so that people are full of awe.

According to legend, countless terrifying monsters guard the abyss, which "deified" people's fear.

These monsters often have bloody mouths and extremely sharp canine teeth, which can bite people to pieces in one bite.

Therefore, people used their imagination to give them various murderous names, such as tyrannosaurus dragon fish, devil fish, snake fish, devouring eel and so on.

These monsters have disgusting bodies and terrifying spines. Once many fishermen closed their eyes, a pair of sea monsters appeared in their heads with wide mouths, wide eyes, and frowning, ready to attack at any time. scene.

However, the giant octopus is really known to humans, or from the Hollywood thriller "Extremely Cold".

The movie describes to people a terrifying underwater creature from the depths of the ocean --- a giant octopus. In the movie, this giant octopus brought disaster to the cruise ship.

However, according to reports from all over the world, humans have already confirmed that the existence of giant octopuses is not a movie plot, but real, and the giant octopuses that are washed ashore by sea water from time to time have aroused people's great speculation and speculation.

At first, experts were amazed and surprised by the discovery of the giant octopus.

Meanwhile, news coverage of the giant octopus has been flooding in and out.

When the remains of the giant octopus were first discovered, the BBC reported that the creature could be the remains of an extinct "giant octopus".

Other experts believe that it is a terrifying squid, or even a completely unknown "deep sea monster", and issued a warning for it.

At that time, no fisherman, sailor or even scientist could determine whether the remains were octopus or not.

Initially, in order to identify the 12-meter-long gelatinous tissue, Chile contacted some European zoologists.

After analysis, scientists believe that the shape of this object is similar to the description of a strange biological sample found in Florida, USA in 1896 in historical records. Puzzled.

Scientists described at the time that people dragged an animal up to 18 meters long with a large herd of horses, but there were no cut marks when they chopped it with an axe.

For the mysterious organism discovered this time, its characteristics match the rare creatures described by scientists in the 19th century.

According to Cavalella, director of the San Diego Cetacean Conservation Center, scientists in France and Italy believe that, based on preliminary information, it may be a giant octopus.

Mead, a zoologist at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, took a risky bet that it was a piece of blubber, but he also said that he did not have enough information to determine whether it was an octopus or a whale.

The most famous cephalopod expert at the time, Dr. Addison of Yale University, concluded that it was the carcass of an unknown giant octopus and gave it a scientific name of "giant octopus".

Dr. Addison wrote in his book about it, "When alive, the giant octopus had formidable arms, each arm at least a hundred feet long and as thick as the mast of a large ship, with hundreds of Disc-shaped suction cups, the largest of which is at least a foot in diameter."

But Xiang Yang is skeptical about this, because the longest record of an ordinary octopus with its arms extended is no more than 20 feet.

Later, the trunk part of that organism was cut out and shipped to the museum as a sample, named "Smith Man".

However, its biological samples slowly decayed over the next few decades.

The relevant debate has also raged again, and many experts believe that the monster is the skin of some kind of giant whale, not a giant octopus.

Later, in 1971, three articles in "Natural History" discussing "undersea monsters" rekindled people's interest in the suspected giant octopus monster.

Professor Joseph, a cell biologist at the University of Florida, wrote an article called "The Monster Found".

The article stated that after carefully observing the samples taken from the "Smith Man" under a microscope and laser, he came to a startling conclusion that the giant organism might be a "man-eating monster."

"Smithman is not blubber, and all the evidence clearly shows that this oceanic monster is actually a giant octopus." These are the exact words of the paper.

In 1972, just as people were scrambling for the "Smith Man," this deep-sea monster that looked like a giant octopus washed ashore again.

This succulent behemoth has been spotted on the beaches of Tasmania, New Zealand, Bermuda and Newfoundland, Australia.

This excites and confuses observers and researchers alike.

Xiang Yang was skeptical of giant octopuses before he saw this humpback whale, which was more than 20 meters long and capable of wielding its tentacles to fight against four adult humpback whales alone.

Xiang Yang knows that there are some octopuses on the bottom of the sea that break the limit of the body, but he feels that there should be a certain limit for breaking the limit. It is impossible for an octopus to break the limit of the body without limit.

But at this moment, the facts are already in front of Xiang Yang, Xiang Yang can't help but not believe it.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

I saw the adult female humpback whale, the largest of the four adult humpback whales, fanning its fins and slapping the giant octopus hard on the big head.

The giant octopus quickly stretched out a tentacle to block it, and at the same time, one tentacle was firmly protecting its big head.

But at this moment, the big head, which was entangled by the giant octopus, and even blocked the whale hole, suddenly struggled to struggle, and the huge force almost completely overturned the giant octopus.

A hole appeared in the defense of the giant octopus in an instant, and the middle part of its big head hit a fin of an adult humpback whale.

The fins of adult humpback whales can even kill tiger sharks.

Although this giant octopus has rough skin and thick flesh, its head was still slapped in a mess, and its whole head was even tilted to one side. The tentacles tightly wrapped around the big head were also Instantly loosen.

The big head seized the opportunity in an instant, and with a swing of the huge whale tail, it got rid of the entanglement of the giant octopus tentacles.

Immediately afterwards, the angry big head moved forward instead of retreating, frantically flicking its fins and hitting the head of the giant octopus.
