| | | | | Sea Serpent
A mythological and legendary marine animal that traditionally resembles an enormous snake.
Belief in huge creatures that inhabited the deep was widespread throughout the ancient world; sightings, especially those of a creature in Loch Ness in northern Scotland, have been the object of much investigation, all of which has been inconclusive.
Though tales of sea serpents have continued to exist throughout the centuries, no animal has been captured so far that has not proved to belong to a previously well-known group. One must also remember that the world's oceans have never been fully explored and it may be that lurking within their depths are giant serpents and other creatures as yet unknown to man.
It is also relevant to point out that every year unknown animals or animals that were thought extinct are discovered, but because most of these animals don't fall into the "monster" category, information about it only appears on scientific publications, instead of newspaper headlines or popular magazine articles. Conservative estimates put the number of species on Earth anywhere from 3 million to 10 million. Of these, only about a million and a half have been discovered. And the number of unknown species may be even more, if we take into consideration the diversity of life in our oceans depths.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is
