Mystery Creatures!!!

THE KRAKEN


The Kraken was an enormous sea creature. It lived at the bottom of the sea. It looked like an octopus with many legs. In the 16th century people believed that the Kraken attacked ships and killed people. But perhaps the Kraken was a giant squid and not a monster at all.


THE LOCH NESS MONSTER


For many years people reported the existence of a monster in Loch Ness in Scotland. The monster looked like a dinosaur with a small head and a long neck. In the 20th century more than 5,000 people claimed to see the Loch Ness monster. But perhaps it was a prehistoric animal and not a monster at all.

THE KOMODO DRAGON


The Komodo dragon lived on the island of Komodo in Indonesia. The dragon looked like an enormous crocodile with a long tail. Many sailors visited the island and claimed to see the dragon. In 1912 scientists discovered that the Komodo dragon was a giant lizard and not a dragon at all.

THE YETI


The Yeti lived in the Himalayas. The creature was big and hairy. It walked on two feet and was nearly three metres tall. It looked like a bear, but it probably was a giant gorilla. This legend became very popular in the 19th century.
