DON´T GO IN THE WATER!
You are lying on a beautiful beach, looking at the
lovely blue water... But what is under the water, deep
down in that terrible black world? Some people feel that
sea monsters are the most frightening of all monsters. In
Herman Melville´s book Moby Dick, a fisherman fought
a long, bloody war with a terrible whale. When Steven
Spielberg´s film Jaws was first shown, people of all ages
screamed in cinemas around the world.
But sea monsters aren´t only in films and books.
People have discovered ‘real’ monsters in the seas and
oceans. These are often more frightening than a monster
from a story.

the squid was trying to kill it with its long arms. The squid
was as big as the whale! The men on the ship were very
frightened. They didn’t want to get close enough to take
photographs. These giant squid are true monsters. It still
isn’t understood why they grow so large.
