Whale carcasses get often strange colours when they rot, that’s normal. And this is no half-born fetus but only the male genitals.

Looks like it could be a whale who’s given partial birth, possibly attacked by killer whales. Killer whales notoriously attack and mangle or bite off the head of juvenile whales in migration route with their mamas. Could it be mama got cought while in the throes of labor?

by the colour and condition it is in it looks like died of stress or blood loss
and the shape of its head it was obviously a “deep sea diver” due to its “pointed head” like a shovel and it looks kind of small it could be a baby that was harrased by a shark or some thing.

The third “flipper” to me appears to be in the middle near the rear, just infront of the base of the tail. I believe it looks perhaps more like the creature’s “reproductive organ.”

Just from experiance from watching TV and such, it appears much like a sea-creature’s, such as a dolphin’s.

The pictures show some other facts:

- Creatures lays on his side.
- 2 big flippers.
- 1 small one on the side and not the middle.
- A strange long tail/neck.

If it has only these 3 flippers the creature is out of balance. It isn’t suprising that there has to be an other flipper below in the sand exactly on the other side of the creature so it would be even.

If you watch the picture, you can see air/light shining below the tail/neck. The object/neck isn’t that much in the sand at all.

Those are not kick marks, but punctures from a ten foot pole, probably from a prankster going for the good ole “gaseous anomaly” effect. The anus is visible, but only furthers my point that the limb is attached to the side. Other than water damage, which Kayaker mentioned on the site he has about the beastie, I see no signs that could be misconstrued as evidence of photoshop.

The alleged kick marks are also photoshopped in. Comparing the two pictures carefully, they aren’t in the same formation.

Looks like somebody was going for a lame plesiosaurus-gets-attacked-by-giant-squid hoax.

Also, this photo has been altered. The tip of the tail has been retouched to be longer and fatter. A fluke has been edited out by duplicating a portions of the sand.

The whale’s anus, found where you’d expect to find it, between tail and penis, is easily visible, and from that you can figure where the center line of the animal’s chest was. It’s laying rolled over on its back, and one pectoral flipper is in the sand.

Batgirl-

Thanks for seeing the actual positioning of the limb on the carcasse, although it doesn’t look like a complete flipper to me.
