Russian Soldiers find Unknown creature

[Kadesh]

 No.. I didn't mean that one. I meant if there was one that held the creature.... So pffffft! 

[chatnoir]

well its either some mangled dead whale or could be somthing from the abyss that hasn't been identified, you get all sorts of wierd things at the bottom of the ocean.

Jeez
That goblin shark is one ugly little bastard. Good lord! I guess it's proof of how much of a heartless ice queen Mother Nature is.

I don't know, Fiend, there seems to be a family resemblance between the two of you...

Also, I've looked at the pics... and I have to agree, they look like small whales of some kind, not plesiosaurs.

     It is possible that this is a relative to the Alligator Gar, found mostly in the States, but has also been found in Malayasia and Indonisia.  I say this because of its body structure and the skeletal fins I see in the pics above.  If it is then its the biggest Gar I have seen to date, and no I can not explain the hair (unless of course its lichen from the water, as Gars hunt in reeds and shallows, like alligators and crocks)   

[Kadesh]

 The "hair" or "fur" on the creature could also be algae or seaweed. I highly doubt that it's some "unknown".  And who took those Shiyty @ss pictures??? Can we get a close up please?? Some detail. Move it around you sissies.

This is interesting, and at first glance I thought it was a plesiosaur (sp?) myself.  But it kind of looks like a whale skull.  I noticed belugas had a similar looking skull when I did a search, and they are probably found in that area.  I wish we could get better photos of these things too :-/

hmm this is quite interesting. it certainly does look like a prehistoric sea creature , but i am inclined to belive its some sort of shark. after all , it's mostly skeleton at this point , which makes me wonder wether its a corpse of a shark , that has been caught , finned , and thrown back in the sea , and got washed up in russia.
or it the shark just got washed up there.

haha, you know what, it kind of looks like a camel lol!  I mean, I know the tail is too long, but wouldn't it be funny if they just stuck a camel head on a whale body?

can't be too careful with those Russians!  he he he

its a leopleuradon charlie a magincal leoplueradon its gunna guide our way to candy mountain

[rave phillaphia]

because it was found in an old marsh that was transformed into a tundra (so froze over) and now is melting again, it could be some sort of animal that was from the early ice age. Maybe some type of land sloth or something sort of like that. It looks pretty old though

[Kadesh]

 It was found washed up on the shore. From the ocean.....

That's where Sakhalin, Russia is.
