WHAT IS A (SEA MONSTERS)?
• Any sufficiently awesome water-dwelling creature that we perceive as being
monstrously cool.

WHY DO WE CALL
THEM AS A
MONSTER?
It's that they're adapted to an environment
very different from the one we're adapted to
live in.
• The really deep ocean is pitch dark
(adaptation function).
• Evolution.

INTERACTIVE TIMELINE
• 250 MILLION TO 65 MILLION YEARS
AGO.
• DURING THE AGE OF DINOSAURS,
LARGE REPTILES RULED THE
PREHISTORIC EARTH.
• THEY ROAMED THE LAND BUT ALSO
PROWLED THE OPEN OCEANS AND
INLAND SEAS.
• BY THE END OF MESOZOIC, MANY OF
THESE SEA MONSTERS WERE
EXTINCT AND NEW ANIMALS BEGIN
TO POPULATE.

SOME OF ANIMAL
CREATURES

2-KRAKEN

Kraken is a legendary sea monster of giant size that is said to dwell off the
coasts of Norway and Greenland.

• Although the kraken was usually described as a giant octopus or squid, it has also been
described as a "crab-like" creature. it was believed to cause large whirlpools.
• the kraken was so huge that its body could be mistaken for an island.

• The giant squid can reach 18 meters in length and has been rarely seen by humans as
it lives in very deep waters.

Hydra
• The hydra is the serpentine water monster in Greek and Roman mythology.
• Hydra was a many-headed, serpent-like beast killed by Heracles.
The myth says "even smelling the Hydra's footprints was enough to bring death
to an ordinary mortal “.

• This mythical creature is inspired from the hydra (a genus of small, fresh-water
animals of the phylum Cnidaria).
• Hydra freshwater polyps have a remarkable ability to regenerate.

Loch Ness monster
• It is supposed to live in Loch Ness, the largest lake in northern Scotland.
• the modern legend of the Loch Ness Monster is born when a sighting by two tourists makes
local news on May 2, 1933.
• It has a long neck, a pointed head and it’s estimated to be 9m long and has three humps on
it’s back.

• Scientists from all over the world started coming to Loch Ness to investigate the
phenomena.
• Although the expeditions came up with no real results they did find out that something
was moving in the lake, which they could not explain.

• Based on these photos some scientists concluded that the
20-foot long creature was possibly an ancient reptile that
became extinct with the dinosaurs some 65 million years
ago.
• Side of (Pictish stone) in the Sculptured Stone Museum
in Scotland. The stone is dated to 2000 years ago.

• VIDEO

THE FACT IS …..
A number of explanations have been suggested to account for sightings of the creature.
1.Misidentification of known animals.
• Elephants.
• Eels.
• seals.

2.Misidentifications of inanimate objects or effects.

Water bear
• While the name water bear may be deceiving of size, these creatures are actually tiny
cellular beings, that walk in a way similar to a bear.
• They can survive basically anything, including being frozen in ice, extremely low and high
pressure and no water for a decade. this was assured when NASA send it into space in
2007.

VALUES OF SEA MONSTERS
• Tourism industry.
• Importance of their
role in keeping our
oceans healthy.
• Writers and artists
inspiration.

CALLING DEEP SEA SPECIES
‘MONSTERS’ MAY HARM THEIR
CONSERVATION
• Ablack seadevil(angler fish), is only
about 9 cm long.
• Deep sea commercial trawlers.
• People have always had a fascination for
unusual creatures that they may never
see. many exotic land animals can be
seen in zoos around the world, but few
deep sea species are on display in
aquaria.
