An odd creature has washed up onshore.

Stange Creature

Quite a find, hard to tell what it could be from the description, and the small picture
I took the pic and enlarged it a bit, the head is on the right.

very strange, i hope decent follow up is done with this.

It's some sort of marine mammal, unless it has scales, in which case, a fish or a marine bird (not inconceivable).

At least for once it's not a mysterious rotting blob.

Thanks for enlarging it UA. It looks pretty interesting.

Maybe its a plastic toy

Looks like a mammal, but its hard to make out

Damnit... those aliens are up to it again! Whats up with the hybrids?

People it obvious its the swimming chupa

Look like a festering piece of dung to Moe.

Tis a sad state when wayward dung fails to be properly disregarded.

looks like someone found a dead lizard and stuck a bike pump in its mouth , then had their way with the poor guy .

So much for honoring the dead .

I wonder what that sounded like ?

no one's said it yet??

yeesh...

anyways... it kinda looks sorta like a dead penguine... but the long curly tail... odd

penguines have beaks, and wings, and webed feet, looks like a mamal of some sort to me from the things on the side of the head that could be ears.

There have been many reports of strange marine animals being washed up on beaches over the years, but this particular creature is probably the smallest. Parton residents are baffled by what has been described as a “mini Loch Ness Monster” washed up on their beach. Joan Singleton, from Firth View was strolling on the foreshore near to where Lowca Beck flows out to sea when she came upon the “monster”.She alerted friends, saying she had never seen anything like it. Jack Southam, skipper of the Whitehaven sea angling charterboat Riptide, said on seeing a photograph of it: “I have never seen anything like this in all my years at sea.”

Another Parton resident told The Whitehaven News: “It seems to have a seal’s body, the tail of a whale, fins on top and sides, but also claws and really sharp teeth.”

Looks like it would be a embryo of a marine mammal. Maybe a dolphin or beaked whale.

its hard to see what it is, can anyone get a bigger picture of it?

i mean from looking at that picture it could be anything, i can't really make out its head, or body or anything.....

i can kind of make out a beak and tail...weird though...

it does kind of look like a bird, but i'm sure they will do some tests on the thing...

come on scientists, what is it?

Maybe its a baby loch ness monster

Not if its got claws, and as for sharp teeth, they'd develop at later stages.

We don't know what really is among us. The ocean could harbor many things who 's to say what is down there. How ever I agree with Halo about not being able to see it.

It may sound kind of crude, but I think it could be animal feces. As for the teeth and beak, they could be bones. It may be a fish eating animal.

I don't no much about feces of marine life so I may be way out of the ballpark, but it's just an idea.

I think its a plastic toy.

I could really be anything, we know so little about whats in that ocean that there is hundreds, no thousands of species down there still to discover, this could be one of them!

I smell a hoax! Or maybe a misidentifacation

I hate how these pics are always made hard to see so we end up 'guess we'll never know'.

It could indeed be a baby something, even a fetus, maybe a carcass, the remains of something much larger. Or it could be the baby of Nessie. Who knows.

Why dont people ever take GOOD pics of animals!!!!! It would be alot easy to say wht it is with some good pics

And the thing to do is, pick it up, put it in a jar, and have it looked at by a local wild life lab. Now that would be proff! What know one wants to touch it? Then It is fish p--p.
Roger!

From the information we've been given in the article. We have no secure thoughts...whether it be a hoax or the real deal.

Unless anyone on this forum, lives there and checks it out for themselves...

Would they just hury up and DNA test it

Looks to me like a baby dolphin or porpous that was underdeveloped or deformed.

This is an interesting article, I just wish the people that found these things would get more pics from different angles!

Mini-Nessie

Woa... Has it been examined yet??

This has already been posted here.

This has been posted up already somewhere else.

Here's a little picture I found on Rense.com...Is this a baby Nessie as the article claims?

Really wierd.Defenitely a real creature.Possibly a nessie baby.Kind of reminds me of a bird with no feathers and a oddly shaped head though.Meh,who knows.

It is strange looking, does sort of resemble a bird. I don't think it's a hoax because hoaxes are usually much more detailed and more believable. Could it have been a badly deformed child of a known sea creature? Very Possibly. But as far as the whole baby Nessie thing: I really don't think so. If Nessie were a plesiosaur, there would be no claws. Plesiosaurs did not have claws as far as I know, they did have sharp teeth though. I really am puzzled by this one. Maybe an unknown species of sea creature or badly crafted hoax.



Go here for more on plesiosaurs.

Thin this was posted before... in the...*thinks* news section.

Don't think anyone's figured it out... or it has and it's something common that they went "DOH!!" and didn't say anything...

Sorry about that...In the 'News' thread ?

Anyway...Here's an update that suggests it's a baby seal pup badly decomposed.

This hasn't also been posted before has it?

Could be an undeveloped fetus? Animals miscarry as well!
