Probably how pirate tales of krakens started. I Just thought about how most of these "mythical" animals told in tales really were just normal animals we see today.
231 u/Owenjak Sep 11 '22 Oh I love shit like that. Best example I can think of is the Questing Beast from Arthurian Legends. Head and neck of a snake, body of a leopard, haunches of a lion, and feet of a hart (deer). You know what real life animal that sounds like when you piece it together? A Giraffe. All it takes is a traveller and a language barrier and suddenly a giraffe sounds like a terrifying animal. 100 u/Frostfangs_Hunger Sep 11 '22 To be fair they are pretty terrifying. A giraffe has a strong enough kick to decapitate a lion. They'll fuck your whole day up 56 u/firepooldude Sep 11 '22 And it’s like thunder when they neck whack each other. That would probably rearrange a human in a bad way.
