I agree with Jon from AK, Earth is not as old as we have been taught to think. This may be a creature that lives deep, deep within the ocean and somehow made it to the surface. We have no idea what truly lurks within the ocean's deepest, darkest places.

How could anyone possibly believe that the earth is only 6,000 years old? That tells me there is something seriously wrong with both their education and their thought processes.
     - Jim Smith · João Pessoa, Brazil · Dec 16, 2006 @ 11:30am

The earth is proven to be older than 6,000 years old. Maybe you should not pay attention to your holy book, and pay attention to real science
     - steve · atlanta, GA · Dec 26, 2006 @ 10:32am

I personally think that the creature belongs to the deep sea. After all, look at the coelacanth a prehistoric fish thought to be extinct 65 million years ago and now a living fossil, that goes to show that instead of spending billions and billions of dollars on exploring out side this planet why not spend that on exploring what is still to be a great mystery to us on our planet the depths of the sea.
     - sara · puerto rico · Jan 2, 2007 @ 6:23pm

The earth is only 6k years old? That is funny. I don't kow what it is. The photos strategically leave out any features that could lead to identification.
     - Don · Orlando, USA · Jan 7, 2007 @ 11:10pm

It looks like a whale's skeleton of some kind to me. No nostrils on its "snout" (as they'd be on its 'forhead'which is covered by the seaweed/skin etc) and the shape of the head really looks like a toothed whale.. and the body/tail, check out the link from Ryan · Flagstaff, AZ. Wish it was something more fantastic but I get the feeling it's.. just a very dead whale.

It is absolutly an gator or croc. look at how long it is and the mouth and skin.
     - Dakota conger · floris.Iowa · Feb 17, 2007 @ 1:35pm

Jon ·Anchorage Ak. The earth is about 4.5 billion years old give or take a few million. Humans are around 6000 - 10000 years old. That's not a croc cause the head isnt the right size and shape, it dosent have nostrals, there dosent seem to be a place for the eyes and the teeth dont look right. I wouldnt say its prehistoric cause the soft tissue would have decomposed by now unless it was frozen or mummified. I dont see signs of ice or of mummification. I doubt its a whale casue they dont have tails like that. I'd say its either a deep sea animal. Or its the head of sum type of big land herbevoir and the tail of a croc thats been planted there.
     - Mist83 · Dublin Ireland · Feb 21, 2007 @ 7:35am

it's probably a hoax... the bones don't look like anything I've seen. The lack of a pelvis suggests something water-living. The vertebrae taper into the tail. The jaw is shaped right to be a small whale skull..but whatever it was..it's been dead for a long time. I still think it's a hoax..until proven otherwise..

As a veterinary anatomist, I can tell you that this is a variation of a common species. Occasionally there is a rare polyploidy chromosomal disorder that results in what is similar to a combination of marfan's syndrome and acromegaly in humans. This is, in fact, and East Siberian brackish rat that had a rare disorder affecting pituitary function.

there is no telling what this creature is. There is alot of things about earth that people still can't explain.It would be good to know if it were still alive.There might even be more these creatures.Lets just hope when they do find more that they dont cut them all up just to figure out what it is.

This seems more like an opportunity to harrass anyone who believes the bible. Bible says that the earth is 6000 years old. So what. And no, God did not use evolution. Why would he, what kind of God needs to use an idea as ridiculous as evolution. The two concepts are opposite. Evolution is the idea that first there was nothing, and then it exploded. Creation is the idea that first there was God, and he created. This picture could be a number of things, there are two many things that we don't know about this picture to make an educated guess.

     - jesus. · emerika · Aug 9, 2007 @ 11:25pm

The truth is, folks, we really don't know what this creature might be, so let's hope the people that have it will actually study it and learn something. By the way, thought I'd throw in with those who actually know how the earth is: 6,000 years young! Regardless of what the believers in "Evolvo-land" have been taught, evolution is just one interpretation of the evidence. It is a religious belief that actually struggles against science. I'm not going to take all your time on a site that is not on this subject, but you really should take a look at what the Bible has to say, and the evidence for it, before you reject it out of hand. That is, if you're not afraid that the belief that allows your lifestyle may be wrong. This isn't just something I came to in a moment. There is a lot of research out there that fits better with the Bible. Okay, I know that most of you are going to ignore reason and simply will throw proverbial "stones." But I don't mind. I've done my part, the rest is up to you. In Jesus' name, you've been given the chance to find out the truth.
     - Kevan · Florida, United States of America · Aug 20, 2007 @ 2:58pm

Apparently crazy people run searches for weird creatures. HUMANS are only 6k years old, maybe more. The earth is billions. 7 days theory only applies to the task and not time frame. The bible DOES NOT SAY THE WORLD IS 6,000 YRS OLD! Nowhere! Most people haven't read the bible, but someone some where told them something was in the bible, through interpretation of course. + the bible is 2k old. So 4,000 years of stuff made it through oral tradition unscathed? Read Gilgamesh, older than the bible and references the flood. Information is vital, old info is destroyed with the last religion by the next one. Gods and ideas vilified for propaganda. There is nothing wrong with the bible, but it is written the way it is because you are too stupid to get the whole picture all at once. In my opinion everything exists. This creature could be real but the pictures are too few. Fairy tales without science are just fairy tales. To say science is anti-god is just clown shoes.

Yea, it's definitely not a whale, due to its skin and the tail's ending. As for the dino or deep sea creature approach it could be. Though it could be one of the many species or creatures we still haven't discovered.
     - Alex · Ravenna, US · Nov 20, 2007 @ 2:45pm

1) It's the decaying carcass of an Orca that washed ashore several months ago. What you think is hair is decayed flesh being eaten by seagulls and other beach carrion eaters. Could also be some seaweed thrown in too. 2) Sakhalin Island is in Orca waters. 3) Moses (Genesis' author) never said Earth was created in 6 literal days. He meant ERAS not days - duh! Also using Moses' birth and death records he recorded one can reverse extrapolate the 1st human couple's beginning at about the year 4,026 BCE. That's about 6k years ago. Organized religion screwed up the translation! YES the Earth is BILLIONS of years old. The universe started with a big bang from a supernatural sentient singularity - God? Non Intelligent Design evolution is illogical as there is too much complex and interdependent systems everywhere to be just a random accident especially with the total absence of missing links fossils. K.I.S.S. and Occam's Razor - Its not a Dino nor a monster its a simple Killer Whale carcass... And the Bible (Genesis) is not a science journal. Its a READER'S DIGEST version of creation. You blind Fundamentalist Christians need to mature up a bit in that department... And you blind Evolutionists need to jump off of the science bandwagon too... Charlie Darwin was on a mission of RACIST genetic 'thinning of the human herd' NOT looking for the true origin of species... Just look at the WHOLE title of his 19th century book! Jeez!

The Era theory is good but the scale is still wrong. For the creator, the earth would only be 7 days old- day of rest - imagine what will happen when the creator wakes and sees what has become of that misty little blue, green and sparkly white planet with fire and lighting tucked away at the end of the Milky Way... there could be hell to pay.

I'm pretty sure that it will end up being an Orca skeleton. From the photos I've seen it seems pretty clear. Second, I dont understand why people would get on a scientific website and try and change peoples beliefs by preaching about got. Sit there and sya all you want about people in science believing all these so called "LIES". But Christians do the same thing every time they got to church. There is a reason church and state were separated. I dont know about anyone else in here, but for me, if I want to read about God I'll go to the Church of Satan website. I'm here to read about science. So leave all preaching at home. I'm more interested in what some intelligent people has to say about this creature. Not the opinions of a bunch of hipocratic jesus lovers.
     - Chris · Lafayette, IN · Apr 3, 2008 @ 12:04pm

It's like the mammal dragons...aka dragons mainly from the waters. Even though not many believe in dragon except for those living on land, our culture bases it on dragons who decieve others of how they look like and in turn, they transform themselves to unpredictable creatures of different figures so they won't uncover how they really look like by i guess they call it mutation, but of course mutation can't occur so rapidly which is why not many people believe it to be true. Water dragons for example need to be seen to believe for some people because they have never seen any for real, but when they do...some either believe it to be true or they reject it entirely and say it's something else. Knowing that there are creatures out in the open or not, the world is not fully discovered yet and of course, there are more than most people think. For those who do believe that, look forward to it because in time, you never know when you will be able to catch a glimpse of that glory you caught with your eyes. Hopefully, people won't mistake it for something else but the creature itself. Not that this topic even comes close to this subject, but kind of familiarize itself with it is that people who see fairies may not be seen by others. Same concept for people who think these creaures are whales, or orcas..or something else is not their fault for theorizing, but given little effort, they may know more than the ordinary and give them some prop for trying. Ordinary people can

This is kind of weird. It hasn't been discovered yet, so would proabably live down deep. But it has fur, indicating a mammal, so that couldn't be the case. And the beak just plain has me baffled. Oh, and the earth is scientifically proven to be more than 6,000 years old. If it was that young, we wouldn't exist, we wuld be much farther behind in evolution.
     - Ted Bobbery · NYC, USA · May 18, 2008 @ 6:22am

You guys just crack me up. The bible is a good book, in the sense that it teaches morals and good nature(sometimes) but to use it as 'proof' that the world is 6000 years old is unlogical beyond being funny. The story of jesus is an adaption of the old Egyptian story of Horus, which was taken by the Israelites when they left Egypt. They were held as slaves so wanted nothing to do with the Egyptians so changed a few minor details, but in basic terms it is just an astrological story of the alignment with the star sign Aquarius. The end. Oh and plus the picture is of a badly decaying toothed whale, just look in any whale anatomy book. Its time that america stops filling the heads of its children with unlogical blind faith, before it consumes us all. Peace

The teeth look like a herbabore's teeth not carnivore's. They are flat. I don't think it is a beluga because i do not see any flipper bones and the beluga is not a herbivore. Looks cool though even though i'm completely stumped on what it is. :)
     - Anne Marie · Wadesville, IN USA · Jun 14, 2008 @ 3:42pm

what the devil is that? i can't even figure it out. what ever it is, i think is a fake, made form old traps and stuff. if not, then where are the other creatures of its kind? like it can survive and reproduce by itself?

That is some kind of crocodile/alligator. It's really simple look at the snout and tail. It is possible that it's an eel too. Observe the bone structure carefully.

     - jason osmer · UK hastings · Jul 26, 2008 @ 8:00am

i went on aol and i saw a creature that was unown then i was checking up other mutants like it i got this website and i figured out it is a breed of a muntant since mutants die in hours of being born from a muntant and a normal animal,two diffrent speices mating and making a diffrent animals same things as mutants die in hours unless taken by scientists to help it survive.two normal animals that mate and have a baby is called a hybrid.and two diffrent sea animals that were big had eggs instead of live babies and they are hatching and coming out to land and by the time they get there they are dead go on this website http://news.aol.com/weird-news/article/just-what-is-the-montauk-monster/114144?icid=100214839x1206970962x1200339762 and you will sea an animal that looks alike with this animals but the animal on this website has seaweed all over it and i cant beleive that some of you thought it was a hoax it was on the news and it on over 100 websites ive gone on to explain this you even learn about hybrids in school im 10 and i found this out with a little bit a research and if you think you cant trust me cause im 10 thats your problem cause im making the most sense here. good bye to you guys that believe me and O'well for those who dont believe me.
     - jose · florida,hollywood · Aug 2, 2008 @ 7:48am

I agree with the bloke who thinks it's some sort of creature. Personally I take my evolution with a little dash of divine spark, mmmn yum. Evolution is a brilliant and groudbreaking idea, would you have thought of it. By the way it's science (not the bible) that dates the Garden of Eden back to 6000 years, the same science that dates the earth to 4.6 billion years. Use science for science, not as it suits you.
     - Mark · Wangaratta, Australia · Aug 4, 2008 @ 12:03am

Well, it's definitely not identical, or even similar, to the now-famous "Montauk Monster" that washed up on a beach near that eponymous Long Island fishing town. For one thing, this creature's snout is longer and non-hooked. Makes me wonder if it might be a decomposed dolphin, or beaked whale.* *Officially, the "Beast of Stronsay" (a Scottish island in the North Sea) was a decomposed basking shark.
     - Carycomic · Connecticut, USA · Aug 8, 2008 @ 7:13am

It's a beluga whale folks--right down to the serpantine tail. The flukes and fins are soft cartilidge and muscle and will rot away. As others have stated that animals take on the coloring around them (not always the case) and this has yellow flesh. The Beluga is white--add some discoloration due to decomposition and we have yellow. Look at this http://www.skullsunlimited.com/beluga_whale_skull.html
     - dannyk · Tucson, AZ-USA · Aug 13, 2008 @ 8:15am

It is NOT a whale of any species. In the pectoral fins, there are finger bones. Toothed whales have conical teeth, close together and conical all the way back. The rear teeth close to the pharyngeal region of this animal (if it is real) are molariform. This animal (if it is real) most likely was not a meat eater. Would sure love to be in the room as the bones are reassembled (if it is real) and studied by the experts, of which none of us are!!! I suspect a clever hoax.
     - Kimo · Hawaii · Aug 16, 2008 @ 8:24pm

Don't you people do any research? This "creature" was found out to be a toothed whale covered in seaweed. The info was posted on the web. It's 2008, this thing appeared 2 years ago. Keep up with the times. And stop arguing about how old the earth is. Respect other peoples opinions & stop insulting them.

well it may be a hoax or it could be real but i think that it could have been a prehistoric creature but that still does not explain the feathers or hair,or the bird like beak when it had no wings but i thinks the long tail worked as a flipper

i think it is clearly some species/descendant of a marine animal in the dino era. it could still be a living species in the depths of the ocean. you know, only less than 10% of the ocean has been explored. there is some crazy stuff out there and im not even surprised that something like this appeared.
     - mickyhaynes · Tennessee · Sep 12, 2008 @ 6:24pm

     - Karyn Grohezky · Russia · Sep 17, 2008 @ 3:52am

I think it is a small whale. Not a fraud or hoax but a decaying whale that certainly looks a little weird. The skeleton, minus absent legs/arms, does make it look like a dinosaur of some sort. PS I also believe the earth is around 6000 to 10000 years old. Carbon dating past 5000 years or so is ridiculous.

Has anyone bothered looking at pictures (2) and (5) there is a big difference in length and bone structure also i would think the ice shelf theory would be most correct for those believers as there is still skin on this creature picture (1). but to be honest this thing is screaming one big rear orifice hoax! and to prove that! compare the type of bone from the bone mass of the skeleton to its skull they don't barely match up on a calcium or iron index chart, also i thought these photos were taken by soldiers? so tell me why there are two civilians in picture (5)? my point proven its a hoax by the russians read the caption as it quotes "SAKHALIN, RUSSIA -- This creature was found by Russian soldiers on Sakhalin shoreline. Sakhalin area" -"It has been said that it was taken by Russian special services for in-depth studies, and we are lucky that people who encountered it first made those photos before it was brought away." to blow the ice shelf theory out of the water also why is our friends teeth not black? ok so everyone think on that and you russian folk stop bull shitting!

definitely a dragon or griffin, hope this clears things up :) oh- and the world is around some thousands of years old, not millions or billions by any means. The reason those things we find date back to "3.4 billion years ago" is because we use (mainly) a technique known as carbon dating- which can only date the residual carbon left behind in any biological or living object. Besides: the only thing carbon dating can really do is tell us that something is OLDER than the ground around it... do you really think we've developed a device that just KNOWS "HEY! THIS BONE'S 400 MILLION! AND THAT ONE'S 3498 billion!!" sheesh... scientists can GUESS too, right? Not to nit-pick, but there are plenty of things in this world that we simply CANNOT know; such as the age of the planet that we've been on ever since we can remember- and the species of that well worn corpse.
     - bryan · beaverton · Jan 3, 2009 @ 5:34pm

I think that it could a dinosour. The earth really isn' that old and we are still continueing to find speicies after speicies of creature we all thought were extinct all the time. No one really knows what lies at the botton of the ocean. Sharks and manuy types of reptiles are still around that very much resemble some so called "extint" creatures.
     - Jessica · Tulare, California · Mar 15, 2009 @ 10:45pm

Its obviously a beluga whale, it's just a little ditearated. As for the skin/fur, it's just seaweed,garbage, ect. Stop tryiong to make it a big deal. Sure there's different kinds of creatures not known to man, and they are out there somewhere. If everyone exagerates like this each time someone discovers something..... then maybe everyone is not ready to see what is ment to be seen. Oh yea.. I'm a logical stoner, so dnt be upset. After all it is just a picture.

     - Manuel · Puerto Rico · Apr 4, 2009 @ 1:52pm

I think a lot of you are just insane (or paranoid). It's obviously a species of fish that found its way to the surface or was frozen and then thawed out. You can tell by the beak-like nose that it was just some sort of ancient ocean-dweller like a sturgeon.

Hey guys, google at killer whale's skeleton and you'll see 100% the same as the skeletal remains at the photos. It's a decomposing mid sise killer whale that has been washed out from shore and died.There' nothing strange with this.Killer whale's head skull is actually smaller than it looks that make it look like a skull of a different animal.
     - vic villacorta · PHILIPPINES · Aug 9, 2009 @ 10:09pm

I agree with Vic, it looks alot more like a mid sized Orca. The skull is a near perfect match, and not fat enough to be a frill shark. The body area is in too bad shape to tell how big is, but its definately too fat to be a frill shark, they are thin, like eels. I have no definate answer, only an opinion, and thats what it looks like.
     - Chris · UK · Aug 16, 2009 @ 6:59pm

Its got hair and looks like a whale or a croc so if you kinda mix them together youl probly know what it is.Or you could take my advice.If It was on land it would have already been descovered so it would have to be from the very very deepest parts of the ocean.

     - Floyd Benson · Cumberland US · Sep 27, 2009 @ 11:52pm

It appears to have a whale-like skull structure. What is left of the elongated body with the large "chunky" vertebrae and the huge ribs (indicating a large chest cavity) also indicates whale heritage, however the proportions are somewhat different - more reptilic, as is the appearance of what is left of the facial epidermis. The teeth appear to be flat and molder-like rather than canine could indicate that the creature was a herbivore.. but more likely an omnivore as herbivore teeth are flatter and more plate-like. The hair/fur indicates it was not a water-dweller. I conclude by the combination of appearance of in-tact remains of different features of the creature's body that it could possibly be from the Mammoth period where it has been quite successfully mummified in ice. However, the decomposition of the remains suggests that it is much younger than that. DNA analysis will easily determine its species.
     - Dr Milo · Australia · Oct 26, 2009 @ 10:56pm

It's definitely NOT an orca skeleton. Look at the blunt teeth. Orcas have sharper teeth, used for piercing. The...whatever-it-is up there has thick, short, blunt teeth. The spinal structure is very similar, but the extra...skin or whatever isn't. I am reluctant to think it's a hoax, but who knows. The skull and jaw structure of the thing makes me think that "it" is NOT an orca skeleton though.
     - Gabby · USA · Jun 24, 2010 @ 10:19pm

I Think it may have been a deep sea creature which lives too deep for us to find, despite our technology, we are not capable of reacing the bottom of the ocean.
