Is Man Killing The Giant Squid?
animals are called cryptozoologists, while the hypothetical creatures involved are referred to by some as “cryptids”, a term coined by John Wall in 1983. Reports have been surfacing about giant squid being recorded across the world. Most people do not understand the scientific significance, or the repercussions or this frenzy. The Kraken has been a mainstay in the mythology of seafarers for centuries. Stories of a type of giant squid that could tear a man in half, or pull a ship apart have been a part of literature as seen in, “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” For years, the existence of this type of creature was in doubt. Cryptozoology is the study of animals that are rumored to exist, but have not been conclusively proven. The giant squid was a favored subject of many cryptozoologists. The fact that the existence of giant squid has been proven, many cpyptozoologists find themselves torn between an emotion of elation, and one of fear.
