Nateman Posted August 10, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The video is no longer working. Did it look like CGI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendy Demon Posted August 10, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) The video is no longer working. Did it look like CGI? If you click again on the words "Watch on YouTube" after you've initially clicked the video..you can watch it. Yeah, it looked CGI to me but when I looked closer it looked like a toy in the water. The creature was not moving but just being tossed around by the water. Edited August 10, 2011 by Ryu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted August 10, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I kept waiting for the legs to move, and they didn't. So I'm thinking toy too. It would be simple to rig up a fishing line by way of sticks and rocks to make it look to move around a little. Very good attempt, I'll give them that.

brainiac Posted August 11, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 11, 2011 The feet are frozen it's not moving a plastic toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaguarsky Posted August 11, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Pretty good one tho. Because of the movement of the water and the difficulty seeing the "creature" at first, it takes a few seconds to focus in on what you are supposed to see. I'll give it a thumbs up for effort.

Mike G Posted August 11, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I would say that, as a general rule of thumb, if a video is found during a random youtube search of the word "cryptid" you probably aren't going to find anything legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artaxerxes Posted August 12, 2011 #13 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Down in Florida there are Iguanas and Monitor Lizzards both of which will take to water to avoid capture. Both lizzards readily jump in the water and swim well. Iguanas can get up to 4 or 5 feet long and Savannah Monitors and Nile Monitors can grow up to 5 feet long.

+DieChecker Posted August 13, 2011 #15 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Yet both iguanas and monitors, if they get into the water, will still move their legs. This thing didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oniomancer Posted August 13, 2011 #16 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I think I remember this being part of a contest some time ago, right? Yep. Another one anyways. Clearer pictures of the original Abe posted about with link to the maker: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/photo_database/image/modern_day_diplocaulus/ This one in the vid looks more something you'd pick up in a museum gift shop.

It has to be blurry with a lot of movement of the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
