Carcass of unknown animal found

[UM-Bot]

Submited by Pteroophia: The skeletal remains of an animal found on the coast here has caused a stir among villagers at Kampung Pengkalan Sungai Udang in Telok Gong. Fishermen looking for worms for bait near Pulau Carey spotted the rotting carcass embedded in mud over a week ago, but parts of the remains were only taken to the village two days ago.

Arbain Salleh, who recovered the remains, said it was not an animal he had ever seen before.

Looks like a croc, going by the pic that is...but you never know. Whatever it is, sure is real, unlike soooo many fake reports we hear so often.

I once read about river sturgeon that reached 10 meters.

Big fish, and fugly too !

No freshwater fish are known to reach a size over 3 meters, so I don't know how a River Sturgeon could be growing to 10 meters o_0.

The largest freshwater fish is the Arapaima.
