Ancient Kraken-Like Octopus Suggested to Ruled Seas 72 Million Years Ago
Scientists have uncovered fossilized jawbones of a massive, kraken-like octopus from the Cretaceous Period, dating back approximately 72 million years. The fossils, found in Japan and Canada, suggest these creatures could have measured up to 62 feet, potentially making them the largest invertebrate predators of their time. This discovery challenges previous views of prehistoric marine ecosystems, indicating a diverse range of top predators beyond vertebrates.
