Sea monsters

Sea monsters are legendary or mythical creatures believed to inhabit the ocean, often described as large, mysterious, and sometimes terrifying. Historically, sailors and explorers reported sightings of enormous beasts or unusual sea life, which fueled stories and folklore. While many of these accounts are now understood as misidentifications of real creatures like giant squids or whales, the idea of sea monsters has persisted in culture, symbolizing the unknown depths of the ocean. Modern science recognizes that the ocean's vast, unexplored areas may host extraordinary species, but no evidence supports the existence of giant monsters as described in legends.
