History
Elusive giant squids and octopi have their origin in a mythical Nordic creature known as The Kraken. This is likely the largest creature ever imagined, with estimates that its circumference is one and a half miles. Despite the larger-than-life aspects of the Kraken, it nevertheless found its way into a book by the father of taxidermy himself, Carl Lennaeus. His 1735 work systema.
