Live Science has reported that a gargantuan beast, the likes of the mythological kraken, may have swum Earth’s ancient oceans, snagging what was thought to be the sea’s top predators — school bus-size ichthyosaurs with fearsome teeth!
The kraken, which would’ve been nearly 100-feet long, or twice the size of the colossal squid, Mesonychoteuthis, likely drowned or broke the necks of the ichthyosaurs before dragging the corpses to its lair.
Evidence for this fearsome SEA MONSTER and its gruesome attacks comes from markings on the bones of the remains of nine 45-foot ichthyosaurs of the species Shonisaurus popularis, which lived during the Triassic, a period that lasted from 248 million to 206 million years ago.
