Big black negros are pretty scary too.

A Giant Squid, won't you agree?

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.
