The mysterious death of people swimming in the lakes of Oklahoma has given rise to many rumors and various versions. However, Americans are more and more inclined to the theory according to which swimmers are killed by a huge octopus.
In the past few years, bathers have been drowning in the lakes of Oklahoma, which has puzzled police officers and ordinary citizens alike. Local residents do not want to believe the official versions and are sincerely convinced that what happened was the work of a huge killer octopus, grabbing people with numerous powerful tentacles.
This version even tried to check the journalists of the TV channel Animal Planet, who went in search of an animal (or animals) nicknamed "Oklahoma octopus".
Octopus. Thematic picture
Supporters of the giant cephalopod version believe that the animal may be a rare living fossil left over from the days when this part of the country was a perfect habitat for octopuses.
They remind that octopuses adapt well, and they can be found almost everywhere - in any crevice of the seas and oceans. Therefore, it is not surprising, say adherents of the strange theory, that one of the species of huge mollusks has adapted to the fresh water of Oklahoma lakes.
As a final argument, they present the fact that these animals can walk on the ground for short periods of time. The version with the "Oklahoma octopus" is also supported by the cases of finding some species of this animal in the brackish mouths of large rivers.
And yet this theory leaves out several important points, writes a journalist for Scientific American.
First, the transition to living in completely fresh water would require extreme changes in cephalopods in physiology, in particular at the cellular level. Secondly, even if the killer octopus had adapted to fresh water, it would not have been able to overcome the numerous dams built in the middle of the 20th century.
And thirdly, if at least some evidence in the form of photographs of bystanders hints at the existence of Bigfoot, Chupacabras and Nessie, then at the moment the Americans do not have a single picture of an underwater monster.
By the way, local jokers told reporters that giant catfish were most likely to blame for the mysterious death of the bathers.
