The species and size of the animals living in the sea are often beyond people's imagination, and if they had not seen it with their own eyes, who would have thought that there would be such a large squid in the sea.
A Japanese fisherman accidentally found a large squid about 3 meters long on the coast of Kohama City. It is well known that such creatures live in the deep sea and generally do not appear in shallow waters, which is obviously a very rare phenomenon.
Is there anything special about this big squid? Many netizens even said that such unusual things may imply that something big will happen.
In fact, this large squid is called the great king squid, not the traditional squid, but the great king squid family, so it is also called the great king squid.
The king squid mainly lives 200-400 meters below the sea, which is not strictly a deep-sea animal and is not typical. The king squid is widely distributed and can be found all over the ocean, mainly eating small fish.
The most important feature of the great king squid is its body length, the largest king squid found so far is about 13 meters long and weighs 275 kilograms, what is this concept?
13 meters is equivalent to the height of 4 floors, just imagine, what is the concept of a 4-story animal appearing in front of your eyes? Presumably only the shock building remains.
The size of the king squid is already one of the best in the ocean world, but it is still not comparable to the sperm whale, which is the largest animal in the ocean world, with an average body length of 18 meters and a weight of more than 50 tons, and interestingly, the sperm whale's favorite food is the king squid, and scientists have found the remains of the king squid in the sperm whale more than once.
Recently, I think there has been more than one incident of large animals "stranded", a few days ago, there was a sperm whale stranded on the coast of Zhejiang, and after people's reasonable rescue, this sperm whale successfully returned to the sea.
Not long after the two incidents, many people began to associate, thinking that this is not a coincidence? So what does it mean for the great king squid to come to the shallow waters? Is there anything big going on?
There is a saying in Japan that if animals living in the deep sea suddenly run aground or migrate to the shallow sea on a large scale, then a major earthquake will come.
Some time ago, many volcanic eruptions, coupled with two large-scale earthquakes in Japan, many people have begun to think about large earthquakes, Japan itself is in the seismic belt, the probability of earthquakes is larger, and this year there are so many strange things, it is no wonder that there will be such a statement.
So will there be a major earthquake in Japan?
In fact, none of these animal anomalies can be directly linked to earthquakes, and there are many factors for animals to appear in shallow seas or to be stranded.
For example, it is possible to come to the shallow sea on a whim to hunt, or to be caught nearby by the fishermen's nets, or to be too old to control the body and be washed ashore under the action of huge ocean currents.
In addition, this is not the first time that the squid has been found in shallow seas, in 2007 and 2020, the remains of the squid were found in Australia and South Africa respectively, but there will be no earthquakes in the area for some time to come.
In addition, it has been suggested that the escape of deep-sea animals from the deep sea may be related to changes in the seabed, the most likely of which is nuclear wastewater pollution.
As we all know, Japan has decided to discharge nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean, but people have compared the test data of seawater in the past decade or so, and it is found that Japan may have secretly discharged nuclear wastewater.
Moreover, when the Fukushima nuclear power plant first leaked, it was impossible to take corresponding measures at the first time, more or less polluting the ocean, so a small part of the ocean has been polluted.
The "fleeing" king squid may have appeared because it could not withstand nuclear pollution.
Scientists say there are many reasons why deep-sea animals appear on the surface of the sea, among which they are more likely to be affected by their own habits and predatory behavior, and should not be blindly associated with earthquakes or other causes, which lack scientific basis.
The appearance of the king squid is more beneficial to us, because we can better understand the king squid, and after studying it, we may be able to further promote the research progress of the king squid, grasp more valuable information, and expand our cognition.
