Unusual sea creature. What is it???
LINK TO ORIGINAL BLOG: Under The Sea
Feb 23rd, 2007 by sparky23
QUOTE FROM BLOG: [ The picture at the top of this post is of a creature (one of many bizarre and odd beasts) that washed up after the tsunami in Southeast Asia in December of 2004. Its alien strangeness reminds us of the natural possibilities]
It's an interesting photo, but the article says nothing. (That's the entire article, that one sentance quoted above). There are no footnotes, no refferances, no news reports, nothing to say where the photo came from.
I am always interested in strange and unusual sea creatures and would like to find out more about this one. I have searched on Google, but can find no info about this event, or this creature. Does anyone have an info about this creature? Perhaps someone knows of any articles about it? if so please post a link to them in my comments, I would love to find out more about this. Thanks!

UPDATE:
September 7, 2007
Thanks to our great readers, the creature in the above photo has been identified as a Spookfish.

- I don't mean to be mean but that picture could of been edited before it got sent onto the internet so that you would believe it abnormal, but there is a small chance that what you see is real.

- Well, that is extremely fascinating, but although it looks like a picture of a squid i believe it is a mythical creature. But there is some possibilities and they are:
1. That picture could of been edited just before it was sent online so you believe it is abnormal.

- Your comment is very polite, but that picture could of been taken and then edited to make it look abnormal, so it could just be a squid. There is only a SMALL chance that what you see it truly real.

- I agree that it looks fake. As you can see, on the body you can spot gills right to the left of the black spot on its body. I suppose that must be a "second eye" :p It looks like a fish and a squid's head attached to its nose. The eye on the squid's head looks like it has been drawn, and the tail looks like a fish tail carved into a strange pattern. You can also see fake teeth glued to the bottom of the squid, fake, believe it or not, it's fake. Sorry to disapoint you.

- Just a quick note....Myth usually refers to something that is FAKE....or spoken of in old world rumors/stories/religions.....not justsomething that's fake and discovered on the spot without prior rumor or suspicion of it's existance.

- Nice Lens! I'm more familiar with the Flathead Lake Monster of Montana and the very much real (and I've actually held their smaller cousins) Komodo Dragons. This is a cool *monster* site. Those interested in "Cryptozoology" will flock to this lens! Thanks for putting it up.

Sea Monsters Throughout History: Kelpies
Kelpies are considered by some people to be mythological creatures and therefor not real animals. Considered by some people to have once been real creatures that are now extinct. Exact descriptions of Kelpies are wide and varied. Some descriptions say that Kelpies have a single spiral horn growing from their foreheads, like Unicorns, while others say that they have wings like a Pegesus. Said to be shapeshifters, they can take on other forms, but are believed to do so only when "baiting a trap". Kelpies are water horses, and always live in, near, or around water. New Poll Module
