Not much going on today, except that I'm hoping to get in a swim before the daily monsoon arrives.

I guess this proves how geeky I am. I'm looking at the Russian wtf creature and thinking "man, why couldn't they have gotten better, close up pictures". Honestly, I mean in terms of IDing this thing, these pictures are useless.

My guess is that it is some kind of seal/seal lion. Like a leopard seal or something similar.

or, heck, without being able to see the skull or the limbs well enough under the decaying stuff, it might as easily be a whale.

Could be anything at that advanced state of decay. I'll wait until the real scientists decide.

didn't the posters on that website decide it's a killer whale? Cause I could see it being that.

Yeah, I was thinking crocodile, but without the nasal cavity at the front, it could more easily be a whale. I know I've heard of decayed whale (and basking shark) carcasses being mistaken for dead sea monsters.
