giant octopus

Do giant octopus exsist? the type that fishermen talk about, the type that try to sink boats?

Octopi, maybe, not direct evidence yet.

Squid, yes.

that is a really ugly fish man. Well there could be a kraken under water wating for somebody to come by. Great now I dont want to go in the water. Just when you thjought it was safe.

Scientists have been searching for the giant squid for a long time.

They have captured babies, but alas not grown ones as far as I know. There is evidence that these things are in contact with whales, in that scientists have seen "sucker" marks which are very large on the skin of whales.

The thinking is also that whales eat these creatures.
