And as he says soft tissues doesn’t like to fossilise We have deep sea gigantism now so it makes sense that it’s been going on for hundreds of million years I can’t remember the term but animals are generally limited in size because bones would have to become too dense surface are and weight becomes too much and gravity just says no more of this and would just kill anything too big but by underwater the rules are out the window look at the blue whale it is terrifyingly large and we know there were honey fish and such that were even larger still without bones who knows what kind of Eldrich horror could have evolved and disappeared when food got scarce

You are right. The oldest stories about krakens weren't about giant squids that sank ships, but of crab-like about turtle-like enormous creatures that were mistaken for islands.

[@SabreArchon]

@@juanausensi499the oldest stories of a gigantic Squid or Octopus-Like Creature called the Kraken dates back to 1180s Scandanavia. It was believed to be a giant Squid or Octopus that lived in the waters around Scandanavia. The word Kraken comes from Old Norse.

[@juanausensi499]

@@SabreArchon I think the definitive identification of the Kraken with a cephalopod is more modern, but it's possible that the term has been used to describe disparaged creatures in the past, including giant squids. Some histories describe it as a swine-whale, or a giant crab, or a horned whale. It is possible that the kraken stories had beed conflated with the Aspidochelon and other sea creatures.

[@kyze8284]

I honestly think the kraken was an actual thing. Many sailing vessels were medium to small whale size, so a squid that is big enough and preys on whales accidentally attacking a ship doesn't seem too uncommon. They even made a reference in Moby Dick. The "bad omen" of a massive white cone poking out of the water after days of no wind in the sails. Basically described a colossal squid breaching the surface to look for food during the day which is SUPER rare but not unheard of. Wouldn't surprise me if that actually happened when the author was taking his little adventure on a whaling vessel and it stuck with him so much he put it in the book

That idea aboot a Triassic kraken is really interesting, it has a very "All Yesterdays" vibe to it. It's not untenable, we know cephalopods today are super intelligent so some form of weird cultural thing like organizing your bone collection or... whatever, isn't impossible, plus, y'know, shellless cephalopods don't do so good at fossilizing. It's a heavy burden of proof but when you get to a point like that where... it's like, not unscientific, technically, but like the evidence needed to support something like that is astronomically unlikely to even still exist. At that point it's kinda hard not to just start thinking aboot the what ifs. With all of the crazy shit that's lived on Earth over the aeons, to think aboot what all we HAVEN'T found... I mean... there's gotta be at least ONE kaiju sized hyper intelligent squid in our past, right? Tyrannosaurs, filter feeding Anomalocarids, whale-sized Ichthyosaurs, sharks with buzzsaws for teeth, insects with a xenomorph lifecycle... would you honestly be surprised at this point if we ever did find solid proof of some sort of prehistoric Cthulhu squid?

[@tarotreadingsbysteven8545]

I'm not sure it's entirely possible although the thing to keep in mind is eye witness accounts from sailors about rouge waves have been a thing since the dawn of transatlantic sailing however since scientists had not seen it or found any direct evidence of it they wrote these sailors off as crazy lying drunks. Perhaps an explanation of "it was a giant squid" seemed more believable at the time than "a giant wave that came out of nowhere"

Though myself, and my Dad were born here in Canada, his father came from North Western Norway, and came from a very long line of fishermen. Not everyone was a Viking. The familly passed down alot of tales. Tales lasting hundreds of years. Some fairly brutal. It may have been a story to ensure that Ole didn't take Svens fishing spot, but if you knew what they communities were like back than, it sounds like that wouldn't of been the case. No. Rather, they brought to shore many stories of the Kraken. It had to originate somewhere. Maybe all of the fish and whale blood brought them up from the depths and towards the boat? Maybe the depletion of whales and sharks in the region led it to going hungry and desperate, so said blood made it very ravenous? Either way. These tales went on to this date, and i share them with you now. Just to give you an example of another tale, not involving the Kraken. One was about how in the fishing town where they had always lived around, one night boats came to the shore when most of the people were gone fishing. So the only people home were the elderly, women, and young children. Don't want to cause any tensions here or anything. This happened long ago. Everyones friends here. Anyways, These men that came where not Norwegian, and they are guessing came from England. Everyone assumes that the vikings were the only pirates long ago, but there were many English that tried to sneak up aswell, a couple hundred years later. So, almost as if it were planned out, the women quickly gathered the children, and sent them off with the elderly into the darkness. The women, than pretending to be expecting some men, brought out the booz, got cooking and welcomed the men in. These men must have watched the town with the help of a scout, because it was said that they knew the men and young adults were gone fishing. So the men infact did pilage some of the houses, with the women telling them to do it quietly if there were still children sleeping, not to wake them, and made it clear that some of the younger women wanted to leave the village. How they thought it was so lonely and boring with there man always gone. So the men fell for it. The women drank, danced, and took them men to bed. It was said that it was still a fairly large fleet of men, and a good amount of them stayed sober to keep watch. What they didn't see coming however was when the women took the men to bed, they all began to sing a song quietly together. The men thought nothing of it. As they sang, most of the elderly, who took the children out, slowly began to quietly approach the town, keeping an eye on where the guards were, understand that the song was a signal for them to begin approaching again. As the women sang, it's certain that most of the men were probably off guard, or drunk and asleep by then. So, as the song came to an end, with all of them knowing, they all sang the last note loudly, as they used any sharp object they were able to conceal on themselves, and direct it into the thoats of the men. Cutting fish all their lives, they hand strong hands with the blades, so they were certain the men had wounds that didn't allow them to make any sounds while fabric was also placed over their faces. The elderly, that had aquired weapons on the far edge of the town, then began to watch the segregated groups of watchmen. usually in groups of 3. with a totale of there being around 18 as it was said. The town wasn't large, more like a village at the time. There were only about 30 famillies there or so. So With about 20 women armed, while many of the others didn't get up in time, and kept their children indoors, they than waited for a signal, armouring themselves the best they could with the slayen mens weapons, and armour, besides any throwing weapon they could carry with them from the household. They than heard the call. The elderly began to throw spears at a few of the patrols in the darkness. They wounded many of the men. At that same time, the few elderly than charged in at them, as did the women charge out of the houses, and they slew all of the remaining men by sheer numbers and strategy. The men returned to find 2 new ships added to their fleet, aswell as new militia related items, and lots of chopped up bait stored in alchohol. The only downside to it might of been a man raising one of the slayen's innocent children, but in that culture at that time, adoption was very common in the region. It was a well known thing that if a man went overboard, and didn't return due to a storm, that another man, even already with a wife, would help the widow raise the children, if a single man didn't take his place. People back than, atleast in those areas really looked out for one another. Story may be a lesson more than true, but i wouldn't doubt it to have some truth. The slaughter song is pretty intense how they may have planned that. Good to havce a back up plan i guess. Maybe it happened before and they didn't want it to happen again.

If ammonites made it out the extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs and continue to diversify, how will they interacted with Basilosaurus, Megalodon and of course, humans? P.S: Why the ammonites made it out of the Siberian Traps event but not the K-T Extinction?

[@sesquipedalianloquaciousne4035]

Krakens were originally described as giant crustaceans. Some bishop confused then with the giant cephalopod called the hafgufa, resulting in overrepresentation of the hafgufa and underrepresentation of the actual kraken beyond the "crabzilla" online legend

I'm not one to instantly believe in something based on a story but the fact that we know so little about what truly lies beneath the surface of the ocean is the most frightening thing to me. Kraken's would likely not survive in today's day in age but it is definitely a possibility for it to have lived at any certain time during the Mesozoic era and before.

I watched a video on youtube where a geologist stated that some sections of the ocean floor even in places like the remote Indian ocean are buried under several miles of eroded mud that has been carried out there by currents from the deltas where it washed off the continental shelf. Oh the things we might find if we could somehow mine these deposits for fossils

Humans also hunt giant animals to extinction, and back in the immediate past there were more fish in the sea. Here in the Chesapeake Bay about 250 years ago fish were so plentiful they would jump out of the water and land in your canoe according to contemporary reports. So I think giant squid and octopuses were hunted to extinction and/or died out because their prey were reduced by human competition.

"Kie-Tin"....NOT CHI-TEN !

[@junglepill22]

Who did that thumbnail art its amazing

[@kadoj]

Arrgh!!! Chitin is pronounced “KAI-tin,” damnit!!!! Sorry, I know this response may seem a little out of proportion, but I’ve been hearing so many people mispronounce it for so long, at first just those with poorer reading skills and vocabulary; but apparently now the mispronunciation has be some sort of common and widespread, even the more intelligent end of the spectrum, such as the creator of this channel, are convinced it’s “CHIH-tin.” Don’t spread the stupid version, people!

[@brandonveltri2825]

I wonder if he did it on purpose just for kicks…there’s no way anyone goes through school or starts learning about animals without having come across that word before…school textbooks even have a pronunciation for it

[@x-r-s]

As a non native-english speaker, why are you guys like this? Have you tried spelling things like they are pronounced (or vice versa)? How does CH produce a K sound? How does the letter I lead to an AI sound rather than iii?

There are several dialects of English
