Google some Pike Eels.....they look nothing like that head or the size of that body. That has a croc/alligator type head. NEW SPECIES. ... [/quote] You're being thrown off by the scale. The camera is very very close to the surface, the animal is quite small. [/quote] :bsflag::bsflag::bsflag: Adult man's size at least. [/quote] I concur. [/quote] I don't think it is nearly as big as you guy's do. The photo angle is making it look larger than it is. Pay attention the grain size of the sand and the "baby waves" for scale. My guess.... 3 to 4 feet long. Some of the tail is still in the water hidden. All that said....I still think it's a new species. :headnod12: [/quote]
Original Message
IFLScience.com: "The Loch Ness Monster has got nothing on this. A creature – which looks like a mash-up of a dolphin, a crocodile, and an eel – has washed up in Australia.
Local fisherman Robert Tyndall took a photograph of the sea beast after finding it poking out onto a boat ramp in Swansea, New South Wales."
As we all know, surfing dead whales is a favorite Australian pastime. Perhaps now, surfing giant eeligators can be added to the list.
