The lusca of the blue holes
Andros fishermen tell of the lusca, a giant half-shark, half-octopus that lives in blue holes and drags swimmers and boats under.
1960 CE · 24.60, -77.85 · status: legend
The account
Blue holes, deep vertical caves, inhale and exhale with the tides, forming whirlpools that can pull objects down. The legend may personify these currents. The year is an approximate attestation.
The sceptical view
Tidal whirlpools and large octopuses explain the stories; no unknown animal has been found in cave-diving surveys.
