#big ass fucking fish
Giant sturgeon fish in Canada.
I’ve literally been thinking about this all day, I feel more sympathetic to ancient cartographers who added sea monsters to their maps.
There’s a good chance that some alleged sea serpents are/were misidentified sturgeons, particularly the ones that describe a series of ridges or “humps” along the back of the creature.
I won’t say that describing sturgeons as sea / lake monsters is a mistake though. Because that is clearly a sea / lake monster. Just because we’ve assigned a scientific name to it doesn’t mean it’s not also an awe-inspiring aquatic beastie of mythical proportions.
Jesus fuck that’s a big fish. Makes me wonder how old that thing is to have gotten that large.
