Zeus is a 980lbs giant manta ray that was living happily at an Atlantis resort as part of a research and release program was released to the ocean the other day. Here’s a picture of mighty Zeus.

About 13ft in diameter, they had to transport him via helicopter to the ocean. He spent 3 happy years as a tourist attraction but is now free to roam the ocean. Marine biologist will monitor his condition and movement via a tracking device to make sure Zeus is okay!

Supersize Sea Monsters

When you think about sea monsters you think of the giant creatures in movies or in books. I came across these series of real-life “sea monsters” pictures that I wanted to share with you.

At the time of this 2007 photo, Japanese scientists had captured what may be the first images of a live giant squid.

A Cambodian fisherman holds a giant stingray fish on the Mekong River near the Cambodian/Vietnam border on Dec. 10, 2002. The giant stingray may be the largest freshwater fish species in the world.

Two giant ”echizen” jellyfish are seen swimming in the Sea of Japan five meters below the surface off the Town of Echizen, Fukui Prefecture. Local fishermen blame the creatures for damaging their fishing nets.
