Still Waters Posted February 15, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2020 A strange creature with a dolphin head, sharp teeth and a long snake tail ran aground on a beach.Shocked locals found the mysterious animal on Destiladeras Beach on the Pacific coast of Mexico, but no one was able to identify it. According to local reports, the animal has no eyes, prompting some to predict that it may well come from the depths of the Pacific Ocean when no light comes in and eyes are not needed. If so, they have no idea how it would have ended up on the beach from the depths. https://www.fr24news.com/A/2020/02/a-bizarre-eyeless-creature-with-a-dolphin-head-washes-on-the-beach-in-mexico.html https://www.coasttocoastam.com/article/strange-eye-less-creature-remains-discovered-on-beach-in-mexico/ 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattacaster Posted February 15, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2020 They only took one(1) picture of this thing? Suspicious. It must be a prop from Sharknado. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scholar4Truth Posted February 15, 2020 #10 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Its looks like a dolphin. Either it has a deformity, or someone used photo shopped and removed both the eyes and fins. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon1440 Posted February 15, 2020 #11 Share Posted February 15, 2020 It looks fake. Also looks like the greek boat monster photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD455GTO Posted February 15, 2020 #12 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Kind of looks like a thalidomide dolphin. Born in the early sixties my friend in school was like that she was born with no arms yet she had hands at the end of her shoulders but man I tell you she had the best handwriting of anybody in our whole class. Extremely clever as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedutchiedutch Posted February 15, 2020 #14 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Blind cave eel ? The blind cave eel, Ophisternon candidum, is one of Australia’s least-known fishes and is the longest cave fish in the world, growing up to 40cm long. It is one of only three Australian vertebrates known to be entirely restricted to underground waters such as caves and wells. A slender fish and apparently adapted to a life in darkness, it has no eyes, no scales, no fins and unpigmented white or pink skin. The blind cave eel was first discovered nearly 60 years ago and has rarely been seen since.

drakonwick Posted February 16, 2020 #16 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I would say it's more than likely beached Dolphin remains! Eels teeth definitely do not look like that, but Dolphins do! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember kids affected by that drug when I was young.They tried to prescribe it to my mum for morning sickness,luckily she woudn't even take a Panadol when pregnant.One reason I distrust the medical profession.Amazing how humans adapt to disabilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted February 16, 2020 #21 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I'm going to agree with those saying eel. It certainly looks like a dolphin's head, at first glance, but looking at it again, it's easy to see it's really an eel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but it doesn't look like it was made in photoshop, as in not even the slightest bit. It looks more like a washed up moray eel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrLzs Posted February 17, 2020 #25 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) From a pic in the first link, I've put an arrow pointing to where the moray eel's eye would be: It looks like the sockets are shrunken and at an angle where they are not easily seen - the skin and eye socket has probably shrunk back as it has decayed. Looks exactly like a moray to me. Edited February 17, 2020 by ChrLzs 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
