Well, I told Darren I thought it was an Otter.

It doesn’t really matter, we now know not to take seriously a picture purported to have been taken on April 1st.

Beware of people who have no sense of humor. They are very likely to have no sense about other things as well.

Awwww come on. We all know the Surgeon’s photo is of an elephant’s trunk. You know, there are whole herds of elephants that are repeatedly taken for swims in the freezing cold loch waters every day. They are just left loose to fool as many gullible people as possible.

There’s probably an elephant in Loch Ness even as we speak, going for it’s nightly dip.

LOL.

Yes, I email exchanged Darren this morning asking him what did he meant, and he posted some of the exchange in his comments and I posted some in an update to this blog. Real time vs blog time, I guess. Otter confusing, if you ask me.

On the otter matter, Loren, Darren said in the comments of that blog he believes that it is a man-made hoax because of the sharp bend of the “head”, and that he recently e-mailed you about it. Anyway, it is sad to see the Khaiyr beast sink, but the otter comment was indeed random on Darren’s part.

It’s a real shame that Gladkikh hoaxed the story. Of course, life in mid-60’s Russia wasn’t exactly simple. Maybe it was a way to get his name seen.

The problem is, as I see it, if someone was able to get a detailed description of an unknown animal, it will be immediately ignored by most people because it is so detailed. And heaven forbid they take a picture.

Still, the search is fun.
