Monsters are popping up everywhere! Prior to the discovery of the Montauk Monster, the carcass of a creature had washed up on the shores of Sakhalin, Russia in 2006. The carcass of the creature appears to be reptilian, however it still remains unidentified. According to the people who found the creature they claim it’s not a fish due to structure of the bones and teeth. Additionally, it’s not an alligator or crocodile because it has a skin that contains hair or fur. Once again, the creature is not available for public viewing. It has been taken in by Russian Special Services for further examination. People are referring to the creature as the Moscow Monster.
Weird stuff! It kind of looks like a dragon to me, what do you think?

I am sorry, but this cannot be a whale, the “beak” is too wide and too short, even with the adding of the skull. It’s teeth are too perfect to be a fossil, unless it was kept in perfect temperatures *that oceans can sometimes offer* if this thing was even real, and furthermore, it could just be a prehistoric thing, i doubt that that is actual hair, if it was recently deceased at that point, it is hypothetically possible that prehistoric creatures still live in the world’s oceans, I have conducted a study on a recently found giant crocodile, yes I am a marine biologist, no I will not share my identity with you, the crocodile we found was fresh, rotting, and thirty five feet in length, hard to believe, yes, plausible, yes, in the media? no. So it is possible that this is a prehistoric creature that has managed to survive, we may never know, but it’s nice to think it’s a monster isn’t it? It’s the skeleton, if it’s dead, then it’s not indestructible and if there are more of them, then we can protect ourselves, but let’s pretend okay? If it’s not harmful to us, then why bother looking into it?
DEFINITELY a Beaked Whale! Just go and look up “beaked whale skeleton”.
It actually looks like the small version of a Basilosaurus-skeleton ( http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bb/Basilosaurus_skeleton.jpg ) Basilosaurus gave living birth and that one is the size of a baby actually. On the other hand it could just be a young modern whale. I’m not biologist enough to judge on that.
alligator
it may be a seal or something… idk
i live in FL, so it looked like a gator at first to me. but then i noticed it looked a little more… serphent like. i doubt it’s a whale because, even though there is the front flipper that is visibleinj the 1st pic, there isn’t a rear flipper bone. whales have a bone near there rear that is from a four legged amphibeous ancestor… this does not.
I agree with Manda…. Falkor… most definitely Falkor!!
pfft, you really think they got crocies in russia?
haha! you no wat it looks like? one of those dinosaur models!!!!!
and i am staring to agree that it was trying to get to water. it just doesn’t make sense that its head was laying on the wood. things that make you go hmmmmmm…
u no… at the museums!
its a crocodile you morons look :p
Agreeing with Fox, it’s definitely a whale. Don’t know what kind. I know that the minke whale is very common in that area, and a young one would be about that size. The one discrepancy being that minke whales feed on baleen and therefor have a very different jaw from the one in this picture. Then again it’s not hard to stick a conveniently sized jaw of another animal underneath. The skull also has a similar look to some sort of large land mammal, maybe herbivorous or omnivorous. the jaw is less pronounced than say a caribou though. Just my two cents.
It’s a whale. The skull structure makes it obvious. As for the direction it’s facing, it was obviously decaying for some time, and corpses in the ocean do not last long. A sizable whale corpse will only last a few days. By the time it washed up on the beach, the corpse was light enough to just come in on the tide and land whichever way it was deposited.
why would the skeletons head be pointing towards the ocean even if washed up on its side I can’t see how the tail would end up 180 degrees from the water. a beaked whale is a good guess, though I do not believe that it is a whale, the jaw of the beaked whale is quite different from the bottom jaw of tis creature. ( realizing that it has no legs to speak of, it does knid of look like it was attempting to make it to water. from the bush in the back of the shots.)
It is a beaked whale. I am not guessing. That is simply what you are seeing.
By the way, if you do not really know anatomy, you probably shouldn’t just make things up.
i think you have to run out to sea to see where it came from.
i belief it’s a lost chain of a crocodile….or even a legendary creature like dragon……judging from the skeleton,it has a skull like a crocodile,those fangs and teeth are alike with crocodile,but,crocodile or alligators lower jaws aren’t like that……….
alligators have a teeth locking holes in their lower and upper jaws…..this carcass din’t have those holes…from the structure of it’s tails and backbone….it more resembling a prehitorical creature…..such as…dinosaurs….
so?is this creature is a prehistorical survivor?
Falkor?
Looks like a seahorse
