Conference: Giant squid and colossal octopus, myth and reality

Octopuses, kraken, giant squid... have fired our imaginations for centuries, as in Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, where Captain Nemo's Nautilus is attacked by such a ‘sea monster’.
Michel Raynal, biochemist, cryptozoologist, native of Fouras and co-author of Tentacles, compares myth and reality, and shows that the oceans harbour large creatures that are still unknown to science.
