ANSWER: From the earliest days of seafaring, sailors have returned to port with strange tales of sea monsters Usually they were snake-like creatures with a serpent head. Sometimes they had bat wLngs or pointed ears. It -s doubtful that such a creature has existed during his- toric'times.

But there is always a possibility because we know surprisingly little about the inhabitants of toe deepest parts of the oceans around us. Also there are some very large creatures who nve in the seas which could be mistaken for strange monsters. Huge whales or giant Squids might look like monsters under unusual conditions. So might a school of porpoises, alternately surfacing and diving while at play. FOR YOU TO DO: Here is a drawing of a sea monster as it mav have been s-en by an ancient sailor.

Color it, making tne monster's body green and its tongue, eyes and wings red.
