Squirrels, you never know when they'll attack.

Big black negros are pretty scary too.

I've read eye-witness accounts of a giant squid over 100 feet long. Well capable of attacking and destroying a 60 foot yacht!

Fortunately they live very deep down in the ocean trenches as they die if they come too close to the surface, though a few freak ones have.

Some people also say the Megladon is still alive in the oceans greater depths (that's a pre-historic 100+ foot great white shark)!

Eye witness accounts are not really scientific, and if Megalodon were still around, there would be more evidence of it.

There are 60 foot squid, but not 100 feet. At least no one has measured them at that long.

Of course, a 60 footer might LOOK 100 feet long to an observer. That's why you can't go by observations alone. You need to measure.

A seaman of over 20 years experience in the Royal Navy aboard a 110 foot long Q-ship in WW2 observed one that was "the entire length of my ship".

Re: Megladon. In 1911, professional fisherman on the mid north coast of NSW refused to leave port for 2 weeks because a "white shark of over 70 feet" was seen devouring their lobster/ crab pots near Port Stephens, NSW. These were experienced fishermen/ seamen who could accurately judge length/ distance in a marine environment.

Proof? No. Evidence? Yes.

"HUSSARORUM ALIAS RACOW"
"Hussar alias Rac (Serb)"

http://www.myarmoury.com/feature_hussars.html
"Hussar or gussar originally meant "a robber" in Serbian. These horsemen served not only under the Polish and Lithuanian colors but also under those of the Holy Roman Emperor;"
http://www.husaria.jest.pl/rys.html
"Bardzo prawdopodobne, że początek swego istnienia husarze zawdzięczają Serbom. Po klęsce na Kosowym Polu w roku 1389 wszędzie szukali okazji do pomsty na Turkach.
Jan Długosz zapisał pod rokiem 1463, że w bitwie nad Sawą bił się Cohors Raczanorum (oddział Raców - Serbów). Po śmierci króla Macieja Korwina Serbowie udali się do Polski, aby kontynuować walkę z Turkami po usarsku."
http://www.angelfire.com/mi4/polcrt/WingedHussar.html
"The hussar concept began in Serbia, near the end of the 14th century. In the 16th century, painted wings or winged claws began to appear on cavalry shields. Wings were originally attached to the saddle and later to the back. In 1645, Col. Szczodrowski was said to have used ostrich wings.
In 1500, the Polish Treasury books make reference to hussars. Early on, they were foreign mercenaries, and were called Racowie from "Rascia" a word meaning "of Serbia." They came from the Serbian state of Ras."

"Serbian Gussars"
http://ac.bondurand.com/liste332.htm
"Les serbes avaient reconnu la nécessité d'une cavalerie légère, (...) ils développèrent leur propre cavalerie légère, les GUSARS ou USARS, d'où sont venus les hussards."
http://www.armae.com/contemporain/144epeesetdagues.htm
"Originaires de Serbie, les hussards furent des cavaliers d'élite, connus surtout en Hongrie puis en France, et imités par la suite partout en Europe."
http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/1b772/a9330/
"The area around the present Zorinsk (Ukrainia) belonged to the Serb Hussar Major Vuyich at the end of the 18th century."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenije_III
" Arsenije III (...) was inaugurating new Serb infantry and hussar regiments that were sent to the ongoing war."
