Who here believes in sea monsters?

the mermaid is a nice photoshop.

anyone else think the recording of the bloop monster sounds like a big bubble escaping from somewhere?

The only kind of sea-monster I heard of is the Loch Ness monster, all the stories about monsters are nonsense!

I think this raises and interesting question. It is not myth that colosal sized creatures use to roam the Earth but why don't we see such big animals now? I think the biggest animal is some sort of whale. But doesn't compare in size to some of the ]V[ONSTERS we use to have. I have been told it is because there is more oxygen in the air before that is why things could grow bigger? Anyone confirm this? If the reason why things aren't as big as before is due to oxygen, then in the future will we all evolve to become smaller? Imagine in a million ears when we evolve we'll all be tiny!

we have been gettng larger over the years...so i dont think this is true.

i would consiter the great white and the giant squid sea monsters.

lol. i was only playing around when we said we'll get smaller in future. But animals were bigger back then. There's no doubt about it. Yeah sure we do have big monsters now but in size they're no where near as big as some of the serious monsters that once roamed Earth

Yeah, most people don't realize that great whites, giant squid, and even whales, ARE sea monsters... as is the coelacanth.

This is where we define "monster" - If you asked me, some of those teeny tiny new finds in the Antarctic look monster enough!

Well, in photos, maybe not in real life

I think you're right on the whole but, isn't the Blue Whale the largest creature that this planet has seen? That we know of anyway.

Yup. Here's a little bit of info i found on the blue whale:

Animal Facts

Largest animal - Blue whale
Loudest animal - Blue whale

Loudest land animal (second-loudest animal) - Howler monkey
Tallest mammal - Giraffe
Fastest mammal - Cheetah
Fastest air-traveling animal - Peregrine falcon

A blue whale's head is so wide that an entire professional football team -- about 50 people -- could stand on its tongue. Its heart is as big as a small car, and its arteries are wide enough that you could climb through them. Even baby blue whales dwarf most animals. At birth, a blue whale calf is about 25 feet (7.6 m) long and weighs more than an elephant. And they do grow up fast: During the first 7 months of its life, a blue whale drinks approximately 100 gallons (379 liters) of its mother's milk per day, putting on as much as 200 pounds (91 kg) every 24 hours. An adult blue whale can eat more than 4 tons (3.6 metric tons) of krill, a tiny shrimp-like creature, every day.
