Seems odd that there are cameras with 20+ megapixels and this photo is as grainy as something shot with a brownie by kodak. Why would you think anyone would be able to guess?????

Photoshop.

One of the comments on the video, thought
it was a dead decomposing whale, and that
makes sense to me!
But of course I'm not a marine biologist.

I'm not a marine biologist either, but I have taken a couple of undergrad marine biology and comparative anatomy courses. I would agree that it appears to be the remains of a whale

Maybe that's the whale from when Cosmo Kramer hit the golf balls into the ocean and George Costanza helped the great beast with a golf ball removal. Hey it could be!

It's tough to photoshop a video.

Maybe he just posted it for amusement.

Exactly. ;)


I was being facetious. :oops:


My intelligent guess is that it is some type of deep sea shark/whale/ray, so badly decomposed as to obfuscate its true identity.


The horns on what looks like a tail, makes me lean toward a large manta or some other type of ray.

Psst Fred-There's a video you're supposed to watch.

Decaying Humpback whale probably from the various comments. This must really stink.

Excellent suggestions. Did you formerly work at the Woodshole Oceanographic Institute? :)
