Interesting Sighting Details of the Lusca
The Lusca Monster remains to be one of the most elusive creatures today. Although it may not be as popular as say, the Loch Ness Monster, the Lusca is still definitely a prevalent creature, albeit only in certain parts of the world. Nonetheless, it has recently gained the spotlight as more and more curious bodies become more enthralled by the mystery that is the Lusca Monster.
The Lusca Monster is one of many reported sea monsters; it has chosen the Caribbean region as its place of residence. While the debates regarding the existence of this creature may have only become more prevalent in recent years (for some reason or another), the truth is that the first sighting of this mysterious creature was way back in November 30th of the year 1896. In St. Augustin in Florida, two local boys, stumbled upon a huge unknown creature washed up on the shore of Crescent Beach.
Initially, the community believed it was nothing more than a dead whale whose body found its way to the Florida shoreline. However, after further investigations, and after going back and forth between a whale, a giant octopus, and a giant squid, it was finally decided that it was neither of the three. Researchers concluded that it was not a creature that was currently known to man and was since called the St. Augustine Monster. To date, this carcass remains to be the closest candidate to the Lusca Monster.
In terms of physical appearance, the Lusca Monster can grow to up to 75 feet or 23 meters in length. Some extremists even claim that there have been instances wherein this creature has grown to 200 feet. One feature of the Lusca Monster is that it has the ability to change colors – a common quality of a number of octopus species. The Lusca Monster resides in rugged terrain under the sea as well as large sea caves. Some folks also claim that it can also survive in areas that are populated by crustaceans, which happen to be their main diet.
Nonetheless, much like other mysterious creatures, the Lusca Monster has also had its criticism from different sectors. Doubters continue to refute the existence of such a monster and do not believe that the St. Augustine Monster is actually a relative of or actually is a Lusca Monster. In fact, scientists still assert that the said carcass is nothing more than a colossal squid or perhaps some part of a sperm whale, but even they remain unsure.
