https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfin_squid

>>18325228
Thank you.

The Bible speaks of a creature called the leviathan that nearly cant be killed and breathes fire and lives in the sea. its huge and such. I believe it's true. It's also suppose to be intelligent, must more so than a whale or dolphin.

>>18325536
>I believe it's true
Why?

>>18325536
I agree, so much of the ocean is unexplored, there's so much room for 'mythical' creatures that were just turned into stories over time exist. Like the kraken and the leviathan.

>>18325570
Not him but we've only explored around 10% of the ocean and we've already found unworldly things that were thought to be myths

>>18325595
Sure. But believing that there are things that haven't been discovered and believing in a specific undiscovered thing are two very different classes of proposition.

>>18325630
Well the Bible wasn't the only thing that talked about the leviathan, it's already been 'discovered' it's just that it was discovered so long ago that there's only stories and no solid proof or anything like that

>>18321201
What am I looking at here?

A bite mark on the outside of a deep water submarine.

It's from >>18321197, Isistius brasiliensis. They're tiny sharks (around ~3ft long) that swarm around larger creatures and use those sharp teeth of theirs liek Satan's ice cream scoop to scrape out perfect circles of flesh, hence the name.

Pic related is a fuckin' dolphin or a great white or something, I don't know. But those marks on it are from a cookie cutter shark attack.

They often mistake submarines for large delicious creatures and take chunks out of them (Like in >>18321201), and it got so bad that submarines nowadays have to have specially made tiny-shark-proof domes over sensitive equipment.

They've also been known to occasionally come closer to the surface and take chunks out of human divers.

No biblical accounts or any other mythology describe any one having encountered Leviathan. In the old testament it's only mentioned to Job by god, and in other mythologies it's parallels are slain as part of creation stories to become a structural element of the world, or fought/slain by gods in power struggles before the creation of humans.
But even if it had encountered a biblical personage, that isn't a discovery or a 'discovery' anymore than any other mythical depiction. Leviathan is as 'discovered' as gorgons or unicorns or Grendel or islands of men whose faces are in their chests.

When I asked anon why he believed in Leviathan I was hoping more for something along the lines of implausible accounts of enormous sea creatures from fishermen, or circumstantial data from deep sea probes, something with a littls meat to it. Hell, I would've even been satisfied by a quasi-Cthulu cult roleplay.

A couple of points, there. One: Mars isn't under miles and miles of water. At least, not any more.

Two: We've more or less mapped the entire ocean floor, too. But 'mapping' in the modern, satellite-using world does not count as 'exploring'. You have to get in there up close and personal. That's why a shitton of the African jungle or the Amazon is still considered 'unexplored'.

did you read it?

>>18334600
Yes.

>>18334621
then you should know that the first time it was "spotted" was 6500 years after europe and asia went through their whole ship building-sea fairing phase. they had been sailing the seas for over six thousand years before sailors came back saying they knew what had been taking their ships. weve only had cameras for about 120 years.

>>18334656
my apologies, i got the number wrong it was 4300 years after.

>>18334656
According to that link there were numerous accounts in folklore and at least 4 purported academic descriptions of one specific sea monster in scandinavian folklore. The article doesn't claim to be an exhaustive collection of accounts. One of the literary accounts it quotes even includes a description of a second sea monster. One of them is confident enough in the available data to say exactly how many of them there are and where they live. And this is just for a single example of a mythological sea creature, of which there have been many going back for as long as people have sailed. They're practically ubiquitous, a presence in the culture of many (if not all) premodern seafaring cultures.
The claim that "a story of a sea creature only popped up every thousand years or so" is not only unsupported by the article, it's contradicted.

>>18332191
Because we can only go so deep before the pressure of the ocean crushes our subs and drones. That's why.

That's seriously incredible.

>>18334767
I'm not saying I don't believe it. I'm not saying I do either. I don't have enough information to come to an informed conclusion, and probably never will.
All I was saying is that the argument that a scarcity of premodern reports should translate to an absence of modern reports despite a greater maritime presence than any period in the history of the world just doesn't hold water. If there are great sea creatures remaining undiscovered, and there is a reason that no accounts of them exist in modern memory, a lack of opportunity for their discovery surely isn't that reason.

Anyone got Playstation VR? There's a game/experience on the VR Worlds disc called Ocean Descent in which you go down into the sea in a diving cage to investigate a wrecked submarine. The sense of scale is truely frightening as the ocean gets darker and the wreck looms into view. Then the Great White turns up and the fun eally starts.

You've got it right. Undigested giant/colossal squid beaks are regularly found in sperm whale necropsies.

>>18339577
The limbs themselves can't do that. If they still have some bits from the central disk, then that can regenerate, but the starfish dismemberment disease splits them in a way that doesn't allow that, and the central disk dies eventually anyway.
