I don't know if THEE Leviathan of legend ever existed, but I was doing research on ancient deep sea creatures from the prehistoric age, and I read somewhere that scientist DID find the top half skull of some sort of sea creature. The skull was over 60 feet long from the nose to the back of the skull. Is this the Leviathan, some people scientists say yes, other say know, others say it's the creature the real thing is based off of. According to legend, the actual Leviathan was a sea serpent so long that it could circle halfway around the earth, and God killed its mate because if more Leviathan were born it would have meant the end of all other life on Earth. Oh, and here's a fun fact, according to legend, the Leviathan's land counterpart, the Behemoth, was so big that it ate mountains.
As for the Kraken, I'm skeptical. Scientists even admit that they're not completely convinced the Kraken didn't at one point exist. And there has been evidence. Whales have been discovered with suction cup markings on their body the size of dinner plates, which are much larger than even the giant squid's. Again, I doubt that THEE Kraken, an octopus-like creatures that's two and a half miles long, according to legend, was real, but some type of sea creature.
Some of you are probably rolling your eyes at what I'm saying, but it's very possible when you consider the fact that the moon has been explored more than the sea floor. In fact, according to marine biologists, only about 3% of the ocean floor has been discovered, and the deepest discovered trench is 6 miles below sea level. There's no telling how many undiscovered "sea monsters" and other things are lurking below. There are even scientists that believe that mermaids are real, or at least humanoid creatures that mermaids are based off of (they call them aquatic apes, which are supposedly a different evolutionary direction Neanderthals took).
But getting back to Leviathan and Kraken, some of you are still probably rolling your eyes about creatures of such size ever existing. Well, I'm sure you all know about the giant shark, the Megalodon (about 40-60 feet long), but did you know that an even larger shark less known about shark was discovered. It's called the Tamiglia (I think that's how it's spelled), and it's name means "the one who swallows whales", because it was actually big enough to swallow whales whole. This is no legend either, but an actual discovery.
