SEA SERPENT

A sea serpent or sea dragon is a mythological sea monster either wholly or partly serpentine sightings of sea serpents have been reported for hundreds of years,and continue to be claimed today.Cryptozoologist Bruce Champagne identified more than 1,200 purported sea serpent sightings.Despite these numerous sightings,no credible physical evidence has been recorded and it is currently believed that the sightings can be best explained as misidentification of known animals such as oarfish and whales.Some cryptozoologists have suggested that the sea serpents are marine reptiles,monosasaurs etc
                                              A sea serpent from Oalus Magnus's book "history of the Northern people     

                                    Some stories report of sailors mistaking its back for a chain of islands.Sea serpents also appear frequently later Scandinavian folklore, particularly in that of Norway.

But later it was proved that there was no existence of such fierce creature.some say that they can be summoned by magic.Some say it is just a mere mythology.But if such a creature exsist.A creature that can fly and end human lives just by a flap.........................
