But with real life giant cephalopods found in every ocean on earth, is the Kraken really just a myth? • The ocean is a terrifying force of nature, filled with mysterious creatures that helped inspire the human imagination to construct a monster of epic proportions. Dr. Zarka looks at the history of the Kraken since the time of the Ancient Nordic, and admits her own fear of giant squid. Are you afraid of the Kraken?
