Papameter 7% Cryptid 93% Known Species DNA testing isn't even necessary, since it's a pretty complete skeleton looking at the bones alone would be enough to tell what whale species it is.

Perhaps but if it's a cryptid nobody has a frame of reference so they might call best fit on a known species, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-OP actually, the carcass was first seen last October in a less decomposed state. It had washed up then, been buried in sand, and then exposed again by a recent storm. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/5276924/mystery-surrounding-nessie-creature-washed-up-on-aberdeenshire-beach-during-storm-ciara-solved/ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetstream587 Posted March 13, 2020 #38 Share Posted March 13, 2020 These things usually just end up being whales. It can't be a shark as some have pointed out because they don't have bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted March 15, 2020 #41 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Technically the expert WAS baffled... Right up to the point he looked at the bones. And technically it could have been called a cryptid... right up to the point the expert identified it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
