Bound by those stories of men worthy of credit, I think it should not have been rejected with derision that of Dionysius of Monforte, who witnesses have seen a huge octopus flogging with electric whips, squeeze, smother a bulldog in spite of the biting with it is argued, their efforts, their screams of pain.

The octopus, terrible machine, you can, just as the steam load, overload of force, thereby acquiring an incalculable power of elasticity, a violent start to the point of launching on a ship (d’Orbigny, Article Cephalo). This is explained the wonder that was worth the issuance of liars to the ancient mariners. According to them, habíanse found giant octopus, throwing himself on the deck, with its prodigious arms embraced the masts and rigging, and make the boat devouring prey to all who manned them, if they had not cut off those members with an ax. Maimed, he returned to the sea.

There was no shortage among them who saw the arms of sixty feet long. Others claimed to have sighted in the northern seas an island half a league movable ring, it would be an octopus, the terrifying Kraken, the monster of monsters, capable of wrapping and whale swallowing a hundred feet in length.

These monsters, if they existed, would have endangered the very nature, sucking the globe. However, on the one hand, the giant birds (perhaps epiornis) could make war, and other land, better regulated, must weaken the horrific chimera deflate the giant edible reducing, diminishing food.
