OK, I’m done, no more Cryptomundo or cryptozoology… well, maybe some… but there’s no decent footage of anything and there’s never going to be. The stars of “Smoking Bums vs. Giant Crabs” or whatever being thrown in the mix is the final insult. I’ll miss Mr. Coleman, but I still hope to make it up to his museum sometime.

@ scaryeyes
according to the citation site Belugas FOOD PREFERENCES AND RESOURCES

Beluga whales are opportunistic feeders. They prey on about 100 different kinds of primarily bottom-dwelling animals. They eat octopus; squid; crabs; snails; sandworms; and fishes such as capelin, cod, herring, smelt, and flounder.

This is why we really need some marine biologists in on this. It could be a simple mis-identification of a known animal OR it could be a new species or it could be two different animals both being called Caddy.

Mandors,
What photographs from Africa?

I sure hope they talk to a mainstream biologist. Sometimes what is baffling to us is a well known animal doing something odd. People who complain about skepticism and say we should be open-minded misunderstand that the burden in science is always on the side that is promoting a radical departure from settled knowledge. You may not like it, but that’s the way actual knowledge is advanced. I’ll be watching tonight and hope that there’s more footage. I’m a little dismayed that the “monster hunt” of the title will be for a different animal altogether. That seems odd.

My main problem with this is that the Lake Iliamna monters seem to be fish and the spout in the video makes me think that these animals are mammals… why are they tying the two together?

Here's something interesting that I just found... shows why they are fishing like they are. "Using a Bushmaster seaplane as a dock, a hook made from a foot long, quarter inch thick iron rod baited with a chunk of moose flank, a several hundred foot long, sixteenth inch stainless steel aircraft cable as a line and a fifty five gallon oil drum as a bobber the 4 men set out to catch the creature. They did manage to hook something but were never able to get it to the surface, what ever they caught was so massive it managed to snap the steel aircraft cable and get away." Here's a link, anyone heard of this?

i agree with red on that lol, why wouldnt they be fishing for it, they show more zeal then the rest of us who pretty much (i included myself in this) sit at our computer critiquing every report that comes there way. what happened with being open minded?

The footage is very good, and it is reminiscent of certain photographs taken in Africa and recently posted that many of us, myself included, dismissed as a wake or cross current.

I’m extremely excited to see the show tonight and the important new evidence of a living-breathing “plesiosaur-like” marine animal. Unfortunately, the only negative aspects of the show, as seen in the previews, are the Hillstrand brothers building a monster trap and thinking what great fun it would be to catch and kill these amazing and defenseless animals. And furthermore, just in case this new species turns out to be identified as being a whale-like descendant, they are indeed protected by both Alaskan & Federal Whaling Protection Laws.

The footage was impressive. The blowhole, blew me away. I suppose it could be some misplaced sea mammal, but they’d have to prove it.

And the Hillstrands are fishing for it. Why, of course they are, fishermen fish. Boy I adore these guys, just for being who they are. Maybe this can inspire some more serious folks to go out there. The program looks very entertaining.
