Considering how little we have really explored our oceans, which sea creatures from legend do you think actually exist that researchers have not found?
yes this is inspired by the squatch thread. Personally I see a megaladon type fish still alive, among other things. The ocean just has too many places to hide to completely right one of those off.

Probably some giant mollusk of some sort. I wouldn't be surprised if there was an even bigger giant squid than the Colossal Squid.

Giant squid. Take Megalodon. Estimated at a max length of 59ft, he is easy to dismiss as to big to be real... but we have lost ships 5 times that length that have never been seen again. |

We have already found those. I'm referring to creatures that "don't exist" but could considering we have only really explored between 5-7% of the ocean I'm talking about ones big enough to take down a large ship. |

Of course Megalodons exist, I saw a documentary on the Discovery Channel about them.

The ocean is a big place. I see a way higher possibility of these existing than bigfoot or some other land based mythical beast.

Unlike the rural US, that a breeding population of large cryptids could exist in the ocean without being detected is plausible.
Without evidence, I'll still take mermaid stories with a grain of salt, however... |

There are probably creatures that live in the oceanic trenches that we have no clue about.

I would believe Megaladon could still be out there, for sure.
Have you seen the river catfish they find now and then? Or watched Jeremy Wade? That's just freshwater and he catches crazy shit all the time. Now we're talking the oceans? I bet there is tons of crazy stuff. I'd like to see another Mariana Trench expedition. If I recall, the last manned one stirred up too much at the sea floor, affecting visibility. |

What I wish we (as a nation, or as several nations) would do is stop with the surface pops down to depth gen return. We have the technology to do my idea, but no one in the industry would ever bite. We built a mother fucking international space station.. why not take the designs for our biggest nuke subs hull designs (or some old Russian sub plans for that matter if your worried about "national security" and modify it for long duration deeps search. Considering all the military shit you could strip out... there would be a lot of room to work with. I don't think we actually have the technology to deploy something from the surface down to those depths and remain habitable. The pressure is too great. Space is acually easier, containing atmospheric pressure vs not be crushed. |

However, I'd happily throw a hundred bucks or so on a massive crowd fund to do some awesome deep water exploration. |

We definitely could do a super crazy deep water sub. Edit: Yep, 1960 |
