Read the summary of the article below.

This article is about real-life sea monsters. For example, a giant octopus can grow to up to 20 feet, though it would only be big enough to sink a small sailboat. However, giant squids can grow up to 160 feet long. They have even been reported to attack ships. Additionally, oarfish can grow up to 50 feet long. They are very interesting to look at. A sick oarfish may surface and be mistaken for a giant sea serpent. It's possible that someday scientists will discover more animals in the sea that explain other sea monsters.
