“Sea Monsters” have long been a part of Atlantic lore and study. When the Giant Squid was documented, it became pretty clear that this was the infamous “Kraken” that had been feared by many. The largest giant squid ever recorded by scientists was almost 43 feet (13 meters) long, and may have weighed nearly a ton. It might seem that something so large would be hard to miss, but since they live deep underwater they are rarely seen. Sometimes the dead carcasses float to the surface or wash up on a beach and that gives scientists a good specimen to work with.
