Synopsis: Monsters have been around as long as people. Which monsters are real, and which did we dream up?
Excerpt:
In maps from the 1500s and 1600s, the ocean is full of sea monsters. Some of them look a bit like a whale, except with a nose like a beak and enormous sharp teeth. Others have a snout like a pig or a body like a huge snake. None of them look the least bit like someone you would want to meet.
Question:
Many maps from the 1600s showed pictures of sea monsters in the ocean. The selection says some of these sea monsters looked like
- whales with sharp teeth.
- mermaids with sharp claws.
- roaring lions with web feet.
- dragons with two heads.
