ok, so i believe there are possibly "sea monsters" we haven't discoverd yet, but have any of you even seen a decomposing animal? when an animal starts to rot, sometimes you can't even tell what it is. animals come and eat parts of it, sun dries it out, and what's left is bits and pieces. quit looking so much into things. sometimes a rotting carcass is just that. whales are mostly blubber anyways, it's not that strange.

Just a side note- Vin Diesel wasn't born when this photo was taken, so the odds of him being in it are rather small. Also, some creature decompose almost in sections, the "long neck" is obviously part of the spine, and blubber decomposes more slowly than muscle.

Decomposed toothed whale? Backbone? If so, it appears to have had a large lump of something in its hindquarters. Anyone can see. It's two mating seals. ... and Vin Diesel...

Probably small decomposed toothed whale. Long Neck appears to be whats left of the backbone.

A pack of hungry Vin Diseals can strip the flesh off a Barra Carcaas within minutes on a full moon.
