what the fuck was this thing? aint no whale, the vertebrae are all wrong... 98ft eel? megalodon? the remains of whatever prorphyrios was (don't believe that was a whale either). this skeleton is 100ft btw, must be old b/c crumbles when picked up. anyone got more stuff like this? footage from rov in mediterranean

>don't believe that was a whale either
I am partly incined to concur.
Aside from a hypothetical extreme colour variation, I don't think wales could have a "purple" hue.
Also, why would a whale hang out in a region for decades, and attack boats.
Cetaceans are (comparatively) clever animals and surely would have found a way out of the Mediterranean Sea, had it been a whale that simply got lost.

moar sea serpents

well there is the whole "homer said the sea was the color of wine" thing, and the blah blah about ancients not seeing/having words for blue, which makes zero sense as the sky and sea are blue, so perhaps to them blues were all shades of purple? cuz otherwise where is the blue wine

It's a freshwater oarfish

>>40698520 (OP)
it's a fake whale

in the sea?

slightly related but anyone else ever wonder why all the lake monsters are in lakes above fault line?
champlain, tahoe, loch ness, okanagan, lake como.
do these things come up from deeper waters, primary waters from cave systems. what if their life spans are glacial compared to us, so they only surface every like decade or 100 years and go back to their deeper zones (maybe to mate or something, some sharks gestate for like years and their lifespans are way long)

I'm not saying it's definitely a whale, but those could absolutely be whale vertebrae, just upside down.

It's a dungeon break.

>>40704532
this is what a whale fall looks like

there are spikes on the vertebrae on three sides, so its not upside down as at least one spoke would be visible but we can see most of the bones surface with very little buried.

reminds me of tahoe anon, what happened to him? any updates? pic rel was from one of the dives into the lake

Always felt like sea serpents are a particular class of cryptid that was very plausible. The oceans are certainly big enough for them, and there's centuries of sightings.

On that note, has anyone ITT read this book?

>>40710655
op here, yes read that one, fascinating, currently rereading the minnesota iceman book

>>40703182
that could just be a bunch of crap clumped together and not alive at all.

It's swimming. You can see it swimming.
