Hello friends and once again welcome back to LBQ, also known as Life’s Biggest Questions.
I’m your host Jarred Bronstein, and today we’ll be talking about the legend of Lusca,
the half shark half octopus, with razor sharp teeth and possibly multiple heads, depending
who you ask.
Some say the Lusca looks more like an eel with a bit of octopus.
Some say it can grow as big as 200 feet in length.
Like many alleged sightings of monsters, such as Big Foot, and the Lochness Monster, there
seems to be a ton of skewed information on the legend of Lusca, with the details of it’s
legend constantly changing on a regular basis.
But join me on the journey as we discuss what our world would be like if the legend of Lusca
was real?

The Lusca has been described in many different ways.
Cryptozoologists have denied the claim of it being a octopus shark hybrid, claiming
it must’ve been a misidentified giant octopus.
However other’s to this day still believe it’s a half shark half octopus monster that
has a lair underwater and attacks anyone who disturbs or gets to close to it.
Although it’s unclear where the legend of Lusca started, in 1896 what was later proven
to be a large piece of Sperm Whale fat decomposing washed up on the Florida coast.
It was given the name The St. Augustine Monster and had many people fearing a large monster
in the water that didn’t and still isn’t believed to be a real thing.
As recent as January 18th, 2011, the body of what many believe was a giant octopus washed
up ashore on Grand Bahama Island in the Bahamas.
Eyewitness reports claim the corpse was only a portion of what seemed to be it’s head
and parts of it’s mouth.
Local fisherman estimated the living creature to have been anywhere from 20 to 30 feet when
it was living.
But many describe the Lusca as being anywhere from 75 to 200 feet long.
However in 2005 a photographer claims he was attacked by a 50 foot long octopus.
While being attacked, the man claims he put his camera out in front of him for protection,
and the octopus took the camera and disappeared into a cave.
Sounds convenient if you ask me.
Another story claims divers attempted to catch the Lusca, but while on their expedition,
they felt something pull the traps set so hard, it caused the entire boat to drag.
Eventually the trap was released by whatever was attacking it, and when they pulled it
up, they claim it was twisted and bent out of shape.
Again, these all seem like myths or urban legends.
And although some people are quick to dismiss the idea, local fishermen and scuba divers
are terrified of the blue holes, where it’s believed the Lusca lives.
So let’s talk about what if the legend of Lusca was real.
How would it affect our waters?
Well, rumour has it that the Lusca lives in ocean caves and mostly feeds on large crustaceans
or other large fish.
But if the Lusca was really anywhere between 75 and 200 feet, I think it’s safe to say
it would be the king of the ocean.
Although some would say whales such as Orcas or sharks like the Great White are at the
top of the chain, if a half shark half octopus existed I think it would take the top spot.
And with a new king of the ocean roaming around, we might have to rethink what we deem as safe
waters and what could be deadly.
It seems the common consensus is that the Lusca resides in the Blue Holes, which are
mainly located on the island of Andros in the Bahamas.
So of course, this could make tourism to the Bahamas undesirable.
But it would also make fisherman along the coast of Florida much more careful as well,
because who knows how far down the water these things would travel.
Considering how the Bahamas is about 50 miles off the coast of Florida, it’s safe to say
the idea of these things being a threat would scare anyone and everyone from being remotely
near them.
This would also be a problem for international shipments that are imported on Florida’s
Coast.
Of course, aside from people not wanting to control the shipments over the water haunted
by these monsters, who’s to say the monster wouldn’t take the entire ship of crates
down with it.
This would force other countries that we import and export goods with to re-route their paths,
which could in turn affect our economy.
It would also effect the tourism and locals living near the coast, for example, Miami,
in fear that these things could do some serious damage.
Another important factor would be how quickly these things reproduce.
If they hatched eggs and spawned hundreds of little squid like shark like monsters,
who’s to say the baby and smaller Luscas wouldn’t attack humans swimming in waters,
seeing them as an appropriate sized prey.
It’s safe to say these things roaming the waters would be a problem for countries, as
well as the locals in the Bahama’s and those living on or near Florida’s coast.
And lastly, we need to talk about how much more money would be spent on doing our research
about this thing.
Is it poisonous ? Edible?
What does it eat?
etc.
And that would most likely costs millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars.
Not to say the government doesn’t have it, but let’s not forget where the government’s
money comes from.
Us.
It comes from us.
But of course, the legend of the Lusca really is just a myth.
There is no such thing as a half shark, half octopus roaming our waters that could grow
as big as 200 feet.
Or is there?
As always let me know in the comments below how you feel the presence of the Lusca would
affect our day to day tasks.
Personally, living in Toronto I don’t think It’d affect me much.
But when my shipping prices sky rocket and I don’t get products within 2 days because
of these new shipping routes, well then I think i’d be pretty annoyed.
As always let us know your thoughts on this situation in the comments below.
Do you believe in the Lusca?

For now I’ll be replying to some comments from the video we did titled What Happens
To Earths Oxygen If The Amazon Rainforest Burns Down?
The Ultimate Diamond said Amazon rainforest is burning down and people are worried about
Spider-Man leaving
the MCU
Cad3non_Dat said In stead of people being worried about getting a Popeye sandwich, we
should be worried about this.
Eduardo Avila said A cathedral burns down The media: This is the worst thing that has
ever happened in history A big portion of land that could affect humanity
if something happens to it is burning down The media: Seems like video games are the
source of all evil
