Topic: Unidentified 13ft-long sea creature with horns washes up on beach in Spain

It could be a new type of whale... with horns? 











With its horns, long white body and slithery form, it looks like a mythical beast

But this four-metre long horned creature is only too real - as the stench from its decomposing flesh proved.

The mysterious sea creature was washed ashore in Villaricos, Spain - and tests are being done on the carcass to determine what it is.

Several theories have been suggested about what the creature is - ranging from it being a type of shark to it being an oar fish, but researchers are still examining it.

A spokesman for the Marine Biological Association said: 'A few people have said it could be the backbone of a shark with the rest of it decaying away.

'Really we would need a vertebrae to properly identify it. If it was a shark it would have cartilage skeleton as opposed to bone.

'As for the horns  - it's pretty inconclusive. No one knows of anything with horns in the sea. From the picture you wonder if it is even part of the creature.'

Pero sabi shark daw based sa skeleton...

The mystery has been solved — at least that's the way Florida State University ichthyologist Dean Grubbs sees it. Grubbs is a specialist on the biology of fish species, and especially sharks.

"That is definitely a shark skeleton," Grubbs told NBC News in an email. "The elements toward the back were confusing me, but those are the lower caudal fin supports. The 'horns' are the scapulocoracoids which support the pectoral fins."

Speaking of nessy parang totoo yun eh, I Believe may mga kakaibang nilalang talaga sa dagat lalo na sa mga pinaka malalim na part. May napanood ako na documentary sa Discovery yata yun, may mga isda din pala sa pinaka ilalim ng dagat tapos namumuhay sa mainit na temperatura mga kulay pula sila, may mga crabs, fish, eel, etc. at kung ano anong organisms nireresearch ko sa youtube or kung saan hindi ko makita ulit hindi ko kasi alam mismo yung title. Alam nyo din ba ito? pa share po, salamat!..

Nabasa ko din ito parang kasama nga daw yang uri ng fish na yan sa mga sharks in relation sa mga Fins at backbones niya.
