Scientists Find Proof of Existence of the Sea Monster
Nine bus-like ichthyosaur the amount found in one location. Kraken's nest?This story circulated among sailors Norway and Iceland: in the vast ocean life sea monster called Kraken. He could swallow a big ship or a whale just a very open mouth.
Kraken legend alive for thousands of years. Although there was fiction, Kraken appears in the Norwegian natural history books, 'Natural History of Norway' published in 1752 that Bishop invented Borgen, Erik Pontoppidan.
Now a researcher claimed, he has found proof that the mythical creature really exists. Is Mark McMenamin, paleoantologis from Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts, which claimed to find the remains of sea creatures, where Kraken allegedly was behind their deaths.
McMenamin said, evidence of Kraken - which can reach 30 meters in length - comes from a gaping scar that exist in the body of the giant marine reptiles - predators, ichthyosaur a magnitude similar to the school bus. Creature sank to the condition of a broken neck.
The theory appears when McMenamin began examining the remains of nine species of ichthyosaur from Shonisaur in Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park in Nevada.
Initially suspected, creatures with a head like a dolphin, with a long snout with teeth, similar to a whale, died from toxic plankton that grow on the seabed.
However, the allegation was denied McMenamin. "I am aware, there is always controversy about the things that occur at depth. Perhaps there is something interesting is happening."
McMenamin said the animals were killed prey be taken from its location - to a place thought to be a nest Kraken, and disposed in a pattern of mysterious creature's tentacles. He claims to have found the nest of the Kraken.
Then, why no fossils were found Kraken? McMenamin argues, the squid is soft-bodied creatures.
McMenamin conscious, his theory of the nest Kraken is controversial, and threatened slaughtered many scientists. But he was ready for it. "We found a good case," he said.
