TheSpoonyOne Posted June 23, 2011 #27 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Is there any question that this is something other than a Whale? It clearly is, despite the fact that 'The Sun' may wish it to be something else. Edited June 23, 2011 by TheSpoonyOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theQ54 Posted June 24, 2011 #30 Share Posted June 24, 2011 So 55' worth of rotting flesh is enuff for some reporter who couldn't get a job washing toilets to label it a "sea monster" which in reallity is probally a whale so he could write some article with the hopes of boosting his ego as if he was some kind of writer...catchy false headlines won't do it.

SHaYap Posted June 25, 2011 #40 Share Posted June 25, 2011 i'm just wondering how they knew it was 'chinese' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marozi Posted June 25, 2011 #41 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) i'm just wondering how they knew it was 'chinese' It washed ashore in China what we can assume as you will find this story first at chinese websites... The carcass was buried for some time now but it is planned to identify the species later with help of the skeleton. It's without a doubt a rorqual (take a look at the ventral grooves, the tip of the curved lower jawbone, the tail and the tail fluke) the only question is what species. If you accept the 55 ft it only could be a Fin-, Sei- or Blue whale. But this is only an exaggeration because chinese websites talk about 42 ft. This adds also a Bryde's whale to the possible rorqual species. Edited June 25, 2011 by Marozi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladylaura36 Posted June 25, 2011 #44 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) if it really was a sea monster then why don't they have photo's of it i don't care how decayed it was you still would have put up a photo of some type of proof thats just my thoughts on the whole matter.

Drums Posted June 26, 2011 #45 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I love cryptozoology, but this looks like a pretty shut case, even if u don't see the people and give a appropriate size through them, i would say it's a smaller class of whale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taut Posted June 27, 2011 #46 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Saw an update.....3 marine biologists say it's a whale, baleen species. Most of us already knew but they confirmed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pax Unum Posted June 27, 2011 #48 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Do you have a link to this update? I think we would all be interested in reading it I don't know if this is the 'update' in question... Upon seeing a photo of the carcass, three marine biology experts — Scott Baker of Oregon State University Marine Mammal Institute; Bill Perrin, senior scientist for marine mammals at the National Marine Fisheries Service; and Bob Brownell, senior scientist for international protected resources with the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration's Fisheries Service — all think it's a whale. Linky -> Experts suspect the creature is actually a badly decayed whale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
