The Ocean and the secrets it holds is one of my favorite subjects, mankind has only ever discovered 5% of it, but it really gets me thinking as to what else could be fount in the sea, people may look at things such as 'Kraken, Mermaids etc...' and think fiction, but things such as; 50 Foot squids have been found, although mermaids are something completely different.

 

Ignoring mythical creatures other undiscovered land and treasures underneath and atop the seabed are still to be discovered.

 

There are so many possibilities as to what lies in the ocean it's really overwhelming when you research it.

There are so many different theory's as to what dwells in the unexplored areas of the great blue.

 

I'd really love to know what people think on the subject and their interpretations/opinions on the matter.

I think we've found all the animals bigger than amoebas... 

I think we've found all the animals bigger than amoebas... 

 

With the Ocean taking up more than 70% of the Planet, and 95% of that is undiscovered, we have no idea.

 

I personally believe there are things deep underneath the ocean where we cannot stand the pressure that could be huge.

 

As far-fetched as it may sound, there are a few theory's that believe some dinosaurs may still exist deep underneath the ocean, if this were the case they would be much bigger than any of the animals we know today.

I'm sure you have Jessie, haha

Are mermaids real? Let me start by saying that humans are very different than all other terrestrial (living on land) mammals. Aside from our sentience and sapience and our amazing intelligence, our spines are much straighter and more flexible in comparison to other terrestrial mammals; our fingers are partially webbed. We can control our breathing like no other mammal on Earth. Did you know that human babies can hold their breath instinctively? Any other terrestrial mammal's offspring would drown. We have a thick layer of insulating fat thats purpose is to keep us warm in water . The only other type of mammal with a fat layer similar to ours is marine mammals. We are also the only land mammals that sweat, an adaptation more suited for marine life. What I'm trying to conjecture here is that maybe, somewhere in our evolutionary lineage, we were borne of the sea. Before discarding this thought, think about it: earlier in Earth's history , food was much more plentiful in the oceans than it was on land. It was advantageous and probable that our ancestors adapted in some way, over millions of years, to accommodate this. Look at modern polar bears. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a group of brown bears that lived in frigid regions split from the normal line of evolution to take advantage of the plentiful supply of food in the ocean . They grew to hold their breath longer, and grew a tolerance for colder weather and freezing waters. These bears are what we know today as polar bears. We're actually witnessing a species adapting to its environment over time right now! If polar bears are changing into marine mammals now, why, somewhere down the line, couldn't this have happened to humans?

 

In recent years, there have been recurring spottings of an unknown genus of dolphin, or a completely unknown species of marine mammal. All of these spottings have only been in partiality; only parts of these species have been recovered. What has been recovered suggests that, due to the discovery of a hinged ribcage, finger-like bones in the tail fin, a large spleen (common in marine mammals), and the remains of leg and hip bones with an iliac crest (a bone formation designed to support weight), these creatures are very, very similar to us. If you didn't already know, a vestigial structure in an organism is a part that serves no purpose, but still appears in said organism, like how many species of whales still have hip bones. Vestigial structures were most likely used in past variants of a species. The iliac crests found have to mean that these unknown, humanoid creatures once walked on land. And there's only one type of creature that walks completely upright on two legs with iliac crests like the ones found in this creature... You and me.

 

I believe mermaids exist, just not in the idea that many believe it in. They are a remnant of an early evolution that branched off of us because most of the early world was water. Some of our ancestors may have gotten stranded on an island and turned to the water instead of staying on land like we did. They were forced to go to the water and evolutionized into what I believe are Mermaids.

*copy + pasted from my other topic gg*

Things we haven't discovered in the ocean? Sure. Actual mermaids like shown in pirate movies? Nah.

 

Offtopic but I do believe there is more life in space since the universe is infinite and that doesn't exist for the hell of it.

I believe we have already found Mermaid-like-creatures in the sea. There are such things as aquatic apes, there were once species of apes that swam beneatth water to hunt for there prey, even using weaponry to do so (spears).

I watch a 2 part 3 hour long documentary about this very find and scientists who have found spear tips in the sides of whales,sharks, even giant squids, that no one know how they got there. I truely believe they exist.

 

2 kids in Washington ran out to the beach one morning. The governemtn had been testing Sonar Weaponry in the ocean (used for jumbling sumbarines radars and other things) and it disoriented the animals in the ocean to beach themselves. Many whales, fish, sharks, mantas, and a Mermaid were washed up on shore. In the clip you see the 2 kids finding the mermaid washed on the beach. It was a truely mesmorizing documentary i watched. Im not sure what you should look up to find it but im sure "Mermaid Documentary" will suffice. 

 

If you have that much passion about the ocean, you should check it out. Its amazing. Tell me what you think about this.

Very interesting!

there could be fish deeeeeeeeeeeeeeep under that water with skeletons on the outside cause of water pressure 

I have wondered many times about this subject, also i have watched a documentary video about that giant squid. I think there are many secrets lie there in the deep, you dont know what you can find there, maybe Pokemons or water dragon(its my pet..)

Yeah lol, that's the exact same one I watched :p. Too bad the video i watched on youtube was deleted

Well if you think about it, mermaids are really just a mythical tale conjured up by human imagination. I'm sure way deep down there are many things yet discovered, that also intrigues me. Think of it as the universe. Vast, highly unexplored, and with many things yet to be discovered, that sooner or later will be due to better technology. Although the ocean is limited, unlike space, we still have yet to find many things. This is the same reason as to why I believe there is life in outer space. We have discovered what we can due to the technology we've created so far. Its only been 50 years since we've gotten as far as the moon. Unfortunately this means in our lifetimes, how far could we go?  

It crazy that we know more about the moon then we do about the deep uncharted parts of the oceans abyss
