In the depths of the ocean, beneath the turbulent waves, is a place of darkness and fear for humans.

From the Greek, the English word 'abyss' refers to 'a hopeless depth'. Not only does the deep ocean contain boundless darkness, but also danger and uncertainty, as well as many creatures that thrive here, inspiring awe in people.

Horror deep-sea monsters

Legend says that countless terrifying monsters guard this abyss, making people's fear even greater.

These monsters have huge mouths and sharp teeth, able to crush people with a single bite. Hollywood's thriller 'Polar Force' once described a terrifying underwater creature from the deep ocean – a giant octopus. This giant creature brought disaster to the cruise ship.

'Polar Force''s giant octopus

In 1957, a giant octopus was stranded on the beaches of British Columbia, Canada. It had a diameter of 9.6 meters and weighed 272 kilograms. This is the record holder for the largest octopus.

Jim Cosgrove, a specialist in cephalopods for 25 years, believes that only the offshore areas of western Canada will exist for such giant octopuses. The mild climate and abundant food in the water ensured that the octopuses could grow to such a size.

The size of the giant octopus compared to humans

Jim Cosgrove said: 'Octopuses are among the Earth's most different creatures from humans.'

Octopuses have well-developed eyes, which is one of the similarities between them and humans. However, they differ greatly from humans in other aspects: octopuses have three hearts, two memory systems (one is a brain memory system, the other is connected directly to the suckers), and some very sensitive chemical and tactile sensors. The octopus's brain has 500 million neurons and possesses a non-ordinary way of thinking (humans have not yet figured out this way of thinking). Octopuses can independently solve complex problems, possessing what is called 'conceptual intelligence.'

Since 30 years ago, the Kossto research group conducted its first experiments (in the experiment, an octopus opened a bottle with a corked bottle and caught a lobster inside), octopuses have constantly surprised and even worried scientists. Some people said: hidden octopuses are waiting for their time to rule.

During the summer, a huge, slimy object was washed up on the beaches near Monte, Chile.

People found it on the Pacific coast near Maulin. According to the Chilean Whale Protection Center, this skeleton was 12.4 meters long and weighed about 13 tons. Scientists were both surprised and curious. At the same time, news reports about the monster were like waves. The BBC reported that this organism may be the remains of an extinct 'giant octopus'. And some experts believe it is a terrifying squid, or even an unknown 'deep sea giant', and issued a warning.

No fisherman, sailor or scientist could recognize it as what it was. What is this giant thing?

To identify this object that is as long as 12 meters and jelly-like, the Chilean contacted some European animal scientists. After analysis, scientists believe that its shape is similar to the description of a strange creature found in Florida, USA in 1896. (In late 1896, two boys playing on the beaches of St. Augustine, Florida, found a huge white creature. It was 21 feet long and 7 feet wide, weighing 7 tons; and the body was very elastic. The local doctors, botanists, photographers and journalists all confirmed the creature: it has a head, eyes, mouth, tentacles and tail).

The director of the San Diego Whale Research Center, Mr. Cavarella, introduced that French and Italian scientists believe: according to preliminary information, it may be the remains of a giant octopus. The animalologist at the Smithsonian Museum, Mr. Meade, boldly bet that it is a whale fat.

Dr. Addison, a cephalopod expert at Yale University, who was a famous cephalopod expert at the time, believed that it was the corpse of an unknown giant octopus and gave it a 'scientific' name – 'giant octopus'. He wrote in a book: 'When the giant octopus was alive, it had arms at least one hundred feet long, as thick as the mast of a large ship. It had hundreds of disc-shaped suckers, and the largest sucker's diameter was at least one foot.' The longest arm extension of a regular octopus is only 20 feet.
