    Does this strange sea creature washed up on shore have 'paws or feet'?


    The mystery of the strange sea 'monster' washed ashore on Sakhalin Island in the Russian Far East - and highlighted this week by The Siberian Times - may never be solved after it was swept out to sea once more during a storm.

    'The body was about two metres long though it was difficult to judge, and went into a tail of about three to five metres. The creature was hairy, with some paws or feet, and no fins. We were very confused that everything was covered with hairs.'

    But there was new intrigue today after a local resident gave a graphic account of the remains, suggesting a bony protrusion from its underside could be paws or feet, and adding that it had no fins. This witness also suggested it was much longer than initial reports.

    Good Gad! Where did that come from and what is it? Certainly not a dolphin. The head reminds me a bit of a wooly mammoth. Cow

    Maybe it snuck through some dimensional portal into our sea. Yikes!

    Not trying to stop your brain storming about this creature but ...in that article I posted above it says the animal is the calf of Giant Beaked Whale folks Wink

    Nikolay Kim, Deputy Head of the Forecasting department at the Sakhalin Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography, said: 'We assembled a team of scientists and looked at all pictures and came to the conclusion the remains belong to a whale calf.
    You can never be 100 per cent sure on anything, so let's say we are 95 per cent sure.

    'First of all, we paid attention to the beak. It points out that the remains belong to a dolphin or a whale.
    Secondly, we looked at the body size of at least three metres. Dolphins cannot be so huge but the body of whales can be up to 10 metres, and their young reach three or four metres. 'As to the fur on the creature, all new-born whales and dolphins at the beginning of their life have a small amount of fur, then it disappears.'
    He added: 'Judging by all indications, we think that the animal is a Giant Beaked Whale, or rather, its calf.' '

    Mankov Vadim Serkov, Deputy Director for Research of the Primorye Oceanarium, agreed with those findings and added: 'Most likely it is a large animal from the family of beaked dolphins. The largest are giant beaked whale. These are rare and live in the depths therefore are extremely rare on the coast.'

    Sergei Kornev, a fellow of the Kamchatka Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography, even dismissed the fur as nothing more than 'bristle'. He said: 'When a dead animal spends a lot of time in the water, it is affected by predators and microorganisms. It’s an aggressive environment and soft tissue can be washed away and it looks like 'bristle' and in fact is not fur or hair.' wrote:

    Strange sea creature with fur and a beak washes up on beach E2da3110
    Wookie monster, called Cookie monster in Sesamstreet (a Dutch children-tv-program).
    This creature is a diversion of Chewbecca or Wooky the hairy monster in the space movie, from the hairy Ewoks tribe.
    The seamonster washed ashore and soon after vanishing with the waves, is probably a calf of a whale species, referred to
    in the article mudra pointed at. I can imagine that if it truly was a strange monster-creature, scientific investigators would
    have saved it for examination, in time, before it had a chance to wash away. Or maybe it has been confiscated secretly?

    I now live in a village with that hairy monster's name, slightly different in spelling. Funny to find a reference to it here,
    arrived in that village 5 days ago. Fur fun.
    Cheerful
