Description
A disfigured dolphin or a relic from earth's past ages? Another for Treys vid.What I found interesting about this one is that unlike other carcasses that were attributed to plesiosaurs etc. this one wasn't badly decomposed.

Assuming the carcass existed at all and it`s description was ,for the most part, truthfull , I`m pretty sure that it was a beaked whale since Burnham`s drawing shows the animal having rather small flipers, unlike a pliosaur, but very much like most toothed whales, plus it`s head and beak like rostrum strike me as looking very much like a beaked whale. If the back flippers actually existed on the carcass it could have been the result mutation.

True; it also struck me that, other than lack of dorsal fin , tail fluke and presence of additional flippers (still, very tiny) overall look is very much like a whale than any extinct reptile.

Some suggested that the carcass back portion was twisted so the dorsal fin and eh...genetalia stuck out from the sides and were misinterpreted as back flippers. On the other hand the dorsal fin and tail fluke could have rooten off after the whale died.

I guess we'll never know for certain until we find where Gambo's body was buried or find the tourist that bought Gambo's head

True but the beaked whale or hoax explenations are the only plausible and logical explanation, it being a late surviving Mezozoic sea reptile is HIGHLY unlikely to put it mildly.

i agree. a late surviving marine reptile is highly unlikely but there's only 2 problems with the beaked whale hypothesis. Firstly, no fluke, dorsal fin and rear fins but those can have explanations. Secondly, Gambo was counted as having 80 teeth while beaked whales have 2. It's more likely a weird dolphin carcass more than anything

this is potentialy true but the carcasss was described as rather fresh; I think it's more likely they would have been lost during it's lifetime than rotten away.

This is actually a lot like how I imagined gambo when I first read about him

Thanks. The first part of the globster video should be out soon.

Me to. Actually the vid will probably have several parts due to large amount of material.

Instead of being a reptile, maybe it's an undiscovered finless whale or whale-like mammal? Nice recreation though

Maybe.

Idk, we don't eve have the original carcass to look at

If it was anything, my guess is it was a crocodilymorph or a derived basal cetacean.

Try decomposed or mutated toothed whale.

That, too. I mean, if it was a natural species.

Well it couldn`t have been supernatural.

That's not what I was suggesting.

It's going to be featured in the coming Explainer video so we can hope for more detailed analysis.

It's a very sleek, very simple, perfectly vague mix between a dolphin and a prehistoric marine reptile. I don't have much to say here, except beautiful.

I don't know what is this, but it looks like a pliosaur with a long tail.
