Still it’s a great tourist draw. Are there sturgeon up there? Those can reach 20 feet. I saw some pretty spectacular large animals working in Alaska, including a 51” king salmon.
Sturgeons were one of the things ruled out by the DNA tests mentioned in the article. No sharks, either (basking sharks being quite common seasonally on the west coast of Scotland). But you’re right about the tourist draw - it’s like haunted sites: the simple association draws people in, regardless of the reality.
