How Could This Animal Be A Giant Squid
What could they be seeing under the sea. What was this monstrous animal. Could it be a squid, a submarine, a giant whale? Let us go down in the deep waters of the earth and see which one it is. “If it was a whale, it surpassed in size all those hitherto classified in science.” (the book) Could this animal be a giant squid? “Taking into consideration the mean of observations made at diver’s times- rejecting the timid estimate of those who assigned to this object a length of two hundred feet, equally with the exaggerated opinions which set it down as a mile in width and three in length- we might fairly conclude that this mysterious being greatly all dimensions admitted by the learned ones of the day, if it existed at all.” (the book) It could …show more content…
“If it was a whale, it surpassed in size all those hitherto classified in science.” (the book) It could be a whale. They said that this monster came up and shot water. This makes since because a whale has a blow hole and they come up to breath. When they said that it was swimming at a high speed makes me think that it is not a whale either.

After this they thought that the monster was just a myth. That this was a story some sailors told. One day they spotted the beast again. “Fifteen days later, two thousand miles farther off, the Helvetia, of the Compagnie-National, and the Shannon, of the Royal Mail Steamship Company, sailing to windward in that portion of the Atlantic lying between the United States and Europe, respectively signaled the monster to each other in 42° 15' N. lat. and 60° 35' W. long.” (the book) Here we go again is this real or are they still telling the truth.

They went where they were called. A couple of crew members where over thrown by this ravenous beast. The crew members thought that they were going to drown. They heard someone call to them and they helped them on board. These people were put in a jail sail. The next day they were finding out what had happened the night before. They became members of this crew. They soon found out that this submarine that they are on was the beast everyone was trying to capture and

    The passage discusses three possible reasons for strange noises, name "quackers", that Russian submarine sailors had reported during a period of time from the 1960s to the1980s. The author mentions three sources for these sounds, including nearby Orca whales vocalization trying to attract mates, the giant squids which live in the ocean and finally the undetectable foreign submarines. The professor, however, believes that none of these theories could justify the real source of these noises. The professor's reasons to refute these theories are as follows.…

    I went to the Art Museum of South Texas to take a look at the artwork they had on display there. I found that they had an exhibit called Liquid Light and it included black and white photographs of the sea and its inhabitants. In this exhibit there were works from 10 different photographers and while I loved and developed an appreciation for many of the photographs on display the one that caught my eye was the “Diving Humpback whale” by Wayne Levin (born 1945). This paper will focus on why Wayne Levin takes photographs of the underwater world and why the “Diving Humpback Whale” photograph was my favorite.…

    Why Do Mermaids Exist

    • 5 Pages

    Tales of the mythical and magical mermaid have been dismissed as rumors; however, these majestical creatures do exist. Cameras have caught photos and even videos of these creatures stranded on beaches and swimming dignified through the ocean. You may argue that these images are fabricated but there are scientist who dedicate their lives and can speak surely about the existence of mermaids. Scientist who are skilled in the use of sonar. Scientists who state that mermaids are seismically sensitive. Because mermaids use sonar, they travel with whales which leads to the reason mermaid sightings are intertwined with numerous beached whales. Now you can say that mermaids don’t exist because people haven’t really seen one, but there are marine animals that are being discovered lately that have gone unnoticed for centuries due to their elusiveness. What is…

    Although both pieces elaborate the effect of poor communication, Whale effectively demonstrates the substantial loss of complexity in the character through the role reversal of language and appearance. Rather than the experiences turning the creature into a monster, he is painted into the image of one. The misrepresentation of the creature prevents the ability to sympathize with him as it is able to while he recalls his story in the novel. While in the text the nature of the creature is unknown and Frankenstein flees in horror, in the film he is aware the brain of a man of brutality is used, but the creature is given a chance and is nurtured by Frankenstein. Sympathy is offered to the creature in the novel when he explains his story and his…

    Nessie was proven real in this instance because a retired scrap metal dealer Gerald McSorley, found a fossil near and in Lochness Lake and this concludes the assumption that the Loch Ness Monster is real. Although many people still believe the beast is fake, it has been real at one point in time, even if it isn’t in this century. The Loch Ness Monster has been “seen” many times and even caught on video! The beast has been compared to many things like manatees, eels, hippos, and even elephants! But that’s not the end of it, many people have seen the Loch Ness Monster, but when they photographed it, it's turned out to be a log. This is because we hear about the beast and then have the thought in our head that it's real, a scientist said that "Humans are really smart animals. And one of the things our brains are always doing is trying to find the meaning of things." (Barber) so this explains that when we actually go to the lake and we see something in the water, our brain changes it to look like the monster so we think it's there even though it might not be. Although this may seem like a good conclusion to the many sightings it may not be entirely true, your brain might be telling you “Oh this is a log so I’m going to make it the Loch Ness Monster” but you might be thinking the wrong thing, you may be seeing the real…

    It was a blustery night on the coast of Scotland. Alexander was on his way home when he noticed something strange in the waters. He assured himself it was nothing to worry about. Then again, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a dark mass bobbing in the water. He parked his car on the side of the road and observed the ocean very carefully. He sighed in relief when he realized it was just a buoy. This occurrence made him think of a tall-tale his grandfather used to tell him, the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. This folklore has been around for many years and has been investigated by scientists and research organizations. The Loch Ness Monster is an enigmatic creature…

    We did this lab to further our understanding of Spiny dogfish shark anatomy and make the class more entertaining. People dissect organisms to find reasons for how they are able to do certain things. For example, the shark can chew through a great variation of things, because it has razor sharp teeth. I attempted to see what organ was connected to what and learn how squid differ from the human organ structure. I 've learned that the structure of the organs inside a shark are different of that of a humans for many reasons. One being that a squid has an extremely oily liver that helps it keep buoyancy in the ocean, another would be it does not have any bones in its body unlike a human.…
