Four Winds Posted February 5, 2013 #26 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) I think so, a giant toothy sturgeon to be more exact. I mentioned it in a previous thread about the Lake Labynskyr. That would be cool, especially if it was a new species of sturgeon. Plenty of time for them to grow huge in such an isolated place.

Setton Posted February 5, 2013 #30 Share Posted February 5, 2013 No photos = fail . And after the virgin princess Egyptian necklace debacle ,I'm dubious as to wether or not these Russian scientists know their **** from their elbow . Never know. They might come up with something instead of sitting round on their elbows all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PersonFromPorlock Posted February 5, 2013 #31 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Well, no pics of a lake monster, but check out the 'Siberian pickup truck' in the third picture in the news story.

Rafterman Posted February 6, 2013 #32 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Sorry, but I no longer believe anything coming out of Russia these days, especially Siberia. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Fluffs Posted February 6, 2013 #33 Share Posted February 6, 2013 That's fascinating... On a slightly unrelated note, I read in a book I have that in Sweden (or perhaps somewhere else) a couple of dam maintenance workers quit their job. They told their boss that when they put on the scuba gear to repair the badly damaged dam, "monsters" would harass them and come within very close proximity.

Artaxerxes Posted February 6, 2013 #34 Share Posted February 6, 2013 More than likely the fossil remains of a Mammoth or Mastadon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-C Posted February 6, 2013 #36 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'm wondering if a lot of the junk that supposedly comes out of Russia, does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever watched the show River Monsters when Jeremy Wade discusses the size that some catfish get living in and around the bases of dams? Monsters indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsters indeed. I did, some of those can get really big, then there are the other big fish that it could be, like the huge sturgeons mentioned earlier.

Mr.United_Nations Posted February 7, 2013 #43 Share Posted February 7, 2013 what about a orca? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skeptic Eric Raven Posted February 7, 2013 #44 Share Posted February 7, 2013 what about a orca? Really? In a lake. Come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.United_Nations Posted February 7, 2013 #45 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Really? In a lake. Come on. Well I searched it on google, and an orca popped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSUGOJI Posted February 7, 2013 #46 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Maybe it's some sort of overgrown eel. That would make for a nasty surprise to run into while scuba diving. Not to mention the bone numbing cold of that Siberian lake would deter me fron ever diving in it even while wearing a dry suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSearcher Posted February 7, 2013 #47 Share Posted February 7, 2013 what about a orca? Orca's do occasionally swim into freshwater rivers, however this is a very very rare event. But The lake being totally landlocked there is even very little chance of that. How would it have gotten there and survived this long without totally destroying the ecosystem? I doubt it's possible at all, sorry. Maybe it's some sort of overgrown eel. That would make for a nasty surprise to run into while scuba diving. Not to mention the bone numbing cold of that Siberian lake would deter me fron ever diving in it even while wearing a dry suit. What kind of eel you have in mind? I know that for example the south american varieties can have a rather descend size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of a basic eel that is a eunuch or sterile since they supposedly don't migrate out to sea to breed and die. They just stay put,eat and keep growing. That may be the answer for other lake and sea monsters too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegreatsilence Posted February 8, 2013 #50 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Well the beast was compared to an orca by an eyewitness, I presume that's why Richard Nixon found this result on Google. That Labynkyr creature is supposed to sport a half meter, bending backward, narrow dorsal fin and was given the length of 10 meters ! I think the dorsal fin would rather account for a sturgeon's tail, and the animal's size an exaggeration, albeit it still remain a very huge fish. I found those additional details on the CFZ blog site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
