Welcome ... to Spookulative Evolution.\nIt\u2019s October once again and time for Spook-E! Each episode throughout this month, we\u2019re choosing a monster and discussing how it \u2013 or something like \u2013 might evolve biologically, pulling inspiration from critters of the real world. This month\u2019s theme: sea monsters.\nThis episode, we discuss one of the most famous fictional sea creatures of all. How might natural selection give us a ship-wrecking cephalopod of titanic proportions? Our creature to create this time: the Kraken.\nCheck out our blog for bonus info and pictures:http://commondescentpodcast.wordpress.com/\nFind merch at the Common Descent Store! http://zazzle.com/common_descent\nFollow and Support us on: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/commondescentpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/CommonDescentPCFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/commondescentpodcastInstagram: @commondescentpodcast PodBean: https://commondescentpodcast.podbean.com/ iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-common-descent-podcast/id1207586509?mt=2YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCePRXHEnZmTGum2r1l2mduw\nThe Intro and Outro music is \u201cOn the Origin of Species\u201d by Protodome.
