Dragon? Sea Monster? Alien?

xoxoxoBruce · 08-28-2006, 08:42 PM

I ran across a group of pictures that are puzzling. This decaying thing on the beach looked like it might be a really long Gator, but the head is too small for the body. I grabbed a screen shot of the first picture with the caption, but I can't read it. Russian? Damifino.

My guess is: killer whale

Looks like a thum on the far left of the pic holding the stick. Given that I must conclude it's a liberal revealing its true form.

hey Bruce, can you post a link to that site. I think Mozilla is able to translate whole webpages. Well except for whats IN a picture.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-28-2006, 10:49 PM

The address is right across the top of the picture.

Kind of looks like a skeksys...

Here is the caption translated from the site Bruce. Very interesting. Kind of hard to read since it's translated literally!

Quote:

Tanginskoye monster. Riddle?
Was obtained letter from the friend, who works in Sakhalin.
With the photographs. .. and with this here description.
here to the coast rejected strange essence...
there now it is studied.
us here everyone thinks that this can be
feet it like does not have
but there is a skin with the hair
i.e., the type of the hybrid of the ground-based and sea organism
judging by the edges - not fish...
judging on the skeletons - like as the crocodile
judging on the mouths - even I do not know... 4 I do not know, is it possible according to the photographs to determine that this after the "beast" of such "was rejected" to the coast. There can be who from LJ association it will be able to determine?

Update. Sent the letter to the friend, in whom it wrote to it about the results of a "brainstorm" with the consideration of photographs in my periodical.
As the readers of this record spoke about this, for the hair of "monster" was accepted that in reality was not hair. For the sake of fairness it is necessary to say that also fatty layer the "hair" is not also everyone it proved to be considerably simpler and it is more commonplace.
Here is small fragment from the letter, then concerning these photographs.

and hair - this is simple of the algae, which covered to flourish....
this proved to be swallow!!!
Thus, new sensation it did not happen. And, was confirmed one additional truth LJ- association, this - force.
To all, thanks is large.

Guess they are thinking its some type of crocadile. If ya want more of it translated, Yahoo is really good for doing that.

Thanks, yes it reads funny, in literal translation, but at least it's English.

I can determine two things though;
1- they don't know.
2- something to do with LJ.

yeah, well. i AM huge in russia. Hardly a day goes by when i don't get associated with some kind of folk legend or other.

actually, i think LJ is short for LiveJournal.

and, btw. jinx is right, i think. an Orca. looks just like the skeleton, and those teeth are molars. crocs have canines.

oh, and it was a shark in that wave, not a dolphin.

Spexxvet · 08-29-2006, 07:46 AM

A dolphin it here is must be. Cross-bred maybe with the LJ it was could them.

"and with this here description"

Backwoods Russian?

Looks like someone smacked it across the nose with a newspaper for chewing on the wood pilings. :p

I think it is a made up creature and I hope I didn't state the obvious.
