For the second time in recent months, a giant sea creature has washed ashore in California. First it was a rareoarfish that had grown to a freakish 100-foot length. This time it was a giant squid measuring a whopping 160 feet from head to tentacle tip.
These giants look different but experts believe they share one important commonality: they both come fromthe waters near the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in the Futaba District of Japan.
Scientists believe that following the 2011 disaster at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant an unknown number of sea creatures suffered genetic mutations that triggered uncontrolled growth – or “radioactive gigantism.”
Though I could not find any signs that said they were a satire website, I would still be sceptical of this story unless you see it elsewhere as well. The picture does look very photoshopped. But if true, what a find! I hadn’t really thought about radioactive gigantism before but boy it sure gets the imagination going. There has been countless number of sci-fi movies based on the very same premise and I know lovecraftians maybe interested in this as well just because its a squid. If you can verify this story either I’d be grateful! Thank you! -Mort
