Photo of a modern-day kronosaurus?

This may have been discussed before, though I couldn't find any previous reference.

What intrigues me is the photo at 3:18 in this video:

As mysterious photos go, this one looks relatively convincing. (Sorry I couldn't find a still.)

Here's a kronosaurus for comparison:

Does anyone know the history of the photo? How does it strike you?

Okay, my preliminary research says that is a hoax.

I'm still checking it out, though.

The head really looks like that of a modern day reptile. Like a crocodile...

Oops, sorry response to wrong photo...

Excellent vid!!

What intrigues me is the snake at 0:14, the pics from 0:30 - 0:50 and the Pterodactyl on 2:41.

There is no way those old photos were faked, how would they do it back then?

The video is a combination of many photos. The ones that you mentioned have other threads going about them, for the most part.

Also, photos which look like they are old may not actually be. Take the "Civil War" Thunderbird/Pterodactyl picture. It was actually a promotion for a film, a proven hoax.

The snake at :14 has many threads here on ATS. I think that the ones from :30 to :50 have been proven hoax.

Good eye

S & F

It may be a known creature but the hind legs look more like flippers than legs IMO. I can understand why the land dinos died off but I would suspect that the marine ones stood a better chance of sticking around longer. Who knows that could of been the last of his kind.

I hope not.

I thought that, too, about the back of the creature. But I cannot find this picture anywhere. Where did the person who made this glorious composition get it from?

If you noticed, at the left bottom of the "kronosaur" picture it says worth1000 dot com.

www.worth1000.com...

Go to the site, it says it's a photoshop contest site. So automaticly, that pic and a few others in the video posted who have the worth1000 tag are fake. Hope this helps

You are wonderful. Thank you so much! That's where I had seen it, I knew it was a fake.

Edit- These are the kinds of observation skills that we must be thankful for here on ATS. Clearly a few of us were too preoccupied looking at the picture to look at other details that are clues to the source, including myself. I hope we've all learned a lesson. (I did. I feel dumb)

That probably wraps it up then. (Unless you are prepared to believe someone took a genuine crypto photo & claimed they'd put it together. Unlikely though - I imagine contestants would have to submit all originals.)

Grade A observation skills, morbidity.

Thought you might find this interesting.....

the creature at 1:15 looks like a prehistoric amphibian and rather convincing, too.

Interesting video, a mish mash of some real, some horrible fakes and some pretty good Photo Shops. The Photos of the Ligers are real. The cross between a Tiger and Lion grow huge, unfortunately they can't breed. They are just massive.

Stop the video at 2:22 tell me what that murky outline in the water to the left of the boat reminds you of?
