It's a moray eel.

Check the comments.

The comments go from an eel, to a deformed Dolphin, to a Fukushima accident, to a Boris Johnson supporter.

I’m not sure which one I’m leaning towards.

It's a dead eel.

Agreed. Dead eel.

Be more interesting if there was a size reference

Doesn't look like a big one. The big ones come out at night in the waters off Hawaii (Electric Beach specifically). First time I saw them, just hanging vertically off the sand, I couldn't make out what they were. Seemed to be 10 to 15 feet long and at least as wide as a full grown man.

As many times as I dove during the day, I never saw one of these creatures in any hole or cave. But ... nighttime ... there they are.

I agree.

Like this... it's definitely a human. You can see it's eyes, nose, mouth, and most of all, they both have hair. Def. a human.

2 pictures, different angle on one where they lift it. www.mtv.com.lb...

These guys do say it has no eyes, they are fishermen, they must know how to tell if something had eyes.

Yeah that doesn’t really look like an eel to me in the new pictures.

a reply to: strongfp

looks like it would be a 35 lb. bloated eel...

the creature burrowed itself into the sandy bottom and laid in wait to ambush prey...
look at that mouthful of dagger like teeth
all it's fighting hardware in the mouth and no tail rudder to swim away with... just that serpent tail to dig a foxhole to spring from (estimate a 4 ft strike zone)

the Pacific shore of Mexico ? there isn't much of a chance of coral reefs for Moray eel cousins to call a home is there in that area

seemslike that sea monster would ambush passing squids or young sharks as a steady diet

I'm not sure that pic is right.

A Moray Dolphin Eel, from Fukushima waters

A good point.

a reply to: underwerks

Those two pics are not of the same thing. One is the eel in the op, which has no fins and the second has fins.

Honestly, I could see how a bloated eel, if the bloating stuff was in the upper half, might look like a dolphin while the tail just remained eely. If that makes sense.

a reply to: underwerks

Yeah, but who knows how far it was dragged by the currents.

Maybe the first signs of the results of Fukushima

They tend to have eyes.

I still don't see any eyes, in either picture...

?

I do.

OK, now we have two different animals. One that may be a dolphin and one that is a Moray Eel. They had a busy day picking up carcasses on the beach.

a reply to: Blaine91555

Yeah saw that second pic...that's a different beach.



Peace

Probably the result of a combination of a nuclear radiated sea with toxines and fed with plastics...

Did some digging and that picture is from the Aegean Sea. There has been a spike in dolphin deaths over the past few weeks over there.

Peace

Kinda makes a person think there's a lot of bull floating around the Internet. They wore out the Oarfish stuff.
