  2. When Summer Meant #SeaSerpents

    For the Victorians and Edwardians, the late British summer was a time of sun, sand – and sea serpents.

  7. “In August, a 12-foot-long oarfish was recovered by a group of "sciencey" kayakers and snorkelers swimming at La Jolla Cove in San Diego.

    …a second dead oarfish was found in Orange County's Huntington Beach in September…

    The deep-sea fish are considered "incredibly rare" since less than 25 have been seen in Southern California waters in over a century…[Oarfish have also been] reported in Maine, New Jersey, Taiwan and Japan.”

    What is the 35-foot-long ‘monster’ lurking in the St. Johns River?

    Sightings began in 1953 on Lake Dexter

    Anthony Talcott, Digital Journalist
    Published: July 28, 2024

    ASTOR, Fla. – "Decades ago, a 35-foot-long creature was allegedly seen along the St. Johns River in Astor, sparking rumors of a mysterious beast lurking in the waters nearby.

    "Boaters who saw the so-called 'St. Johns River Monster' described it as grey, horned, four-legged, and with an appetite for hyacinths. Strangely, witness accounts reported seeing it either in the river or on land."

    Another image from the book Cryptozoologicon by me, C.M. Kosemen and Darren Naish. Do 60-metre megalodons roam the oceans? Well, almost certainly not, but it's nice to dream.

  20. Could an Ancient #Megashark Still Lurk in the Deep Seas?

    Monster. #Myth. Megalodon.

    by Riley Black

    "Discoveries around the world—in locations as diverse as Panama, Japan, Australia, and the southeastern #USA—piled up over time, but one particular find raised the specter of a Meg still swimming in the deep. In 1875, during an expedition for the Royal Society of London, the HMS Challenger dredged up 4-inch-long teeth from a depth of 14,000 ft near Tahiti."

  26. This is one of my favorite mugs. To me, a sea serpent happily playing around a ferry is just SO very #Washington. I mention it b/c the artist, Erika Rae Heins of Whidbey Island, has a #Kickstarter up for HOODIES with this picture. I've been begging for this design on a hoodie for years. She met her goal and they'll be made, but her car needs work and she could certainly use selling more. :)
