Headless marine creature washes ashore

Rotting hunk of flesh off the corpse of a larger sea creature, like a whale or a basking shark. That's my input right there.

perhaps a whale of somesort...seems strange in body formation though.

Even though i see this as nothing more than a dead whale or shark, it could well be one of the more lesser known sea creatures out there, i mean how many have any of you seen or know of from my link? ClIcK

The reason for the mistake is most probably due to how the creature decomposed. The "hair" was simply muscle fibers decaying,... [More]

The "hair" reported is a huge clue. Is it possible that something washed out of a glacier? The "hair" reported turns out to not be hair, the vast majority of the time something like this is reported. As Sakari mentioned, it's often just muscle fiber in the process of decomposing, and has occasionally turned out to be bits of whale baleen still on a corpse.

Wow thats really cool, long tail, seal body and no head. Wonder what it is?

Sea apes? And how do you explain their absence from the fossil record? There are plenty of reasons why we have not yet found the fossils of a sea dwelling creature.
