is this true? a sea monster?

Is this true? Have you read the news about this? A real sea monster?

Not heard of it. If it is a critter it'll probably turn out to be the rotted remains of a whale or something. But from the photo you can't really tell if it's an animal or not. The way it's hanging makes it look like a Jim Henson creation, but if it didn't then they wouldn't have shown the photo. To be really sure I'd need to poke at it with a stick.

it looks like the half-eaten sandwich I'd lost, which my stepmom eventually found while cleaning my room.

Looks like a dinosaur to me.

I was almost convinced by the creationist argument that this was a plesiosaur carcass which disproves the theory of evolution, but then I came across this argument (see link) and now I'm not so sure.....

It might be a monster. There are so many creatures in the deeps of our oceans that who knows WHAT lives there!!

Up until only about 10 years ago the enourmous sqid ( not to be confused with the smaller "giant" squid ) were thought to be a myth. Yet now known to be true, and grow up to 30 metres long!!!

Anyway, I hope they don't determine what that thing is. I think it's better live in our dreams than in our textbook.

Oh... and interesting pic!

*wonders if it make good soup*

i believe there are many creatures that humans have never seen or heard of. so being that, i could belive that pic.... and ive seen a literal movie about how they were looking for it. it was kinda boring, and talked funny.

It's a shark.

From the link ControlArmsNow gave:

However, several lines of evidence, including lab results from tissue samples taken from the carcass before it was discarded, strongly point to the specimen being a shark, and most likely a basking shark. This should not be surprising, since basking sharks are known to decompose into "pseudoplesiosaur" forms, and their carcasses have been mistaken for "sea-monsters" many times in the past.

I repeat - it's a shark.
