What about the shape of the head??? Which some in the episode have said is NOT Mannattee-like???

And the fact that some folks have stated (including, I think, the eyewitness) that this was TOO fast to be a Manattee???

To be honest, you may accept that, but I respectfully cannot.
There’s coincidence, and then there’s coincidence bordering on impossibility. MY opinion, as always.

These were perfect cuts. Nothing uneven. Its almost as if the “finished product” was deliberately made.

Many will believe that “Randomness and Circumstances” were enough to do the trick here. I do not believe that.

Of course, you see it differently. That is fine. Cryptomundo accomodates a lot of views. I just think this is too “perfect” for this to be made by “propellers.”

Constant speed of propeller… constant speed of manatee… even cuts… I don’t see where mysterious forces are really required.

“Yet another example of lazy scientific dismissal by the Mainstream Establishment.”

It’s neither lazy nor a dismissal. It’s genuine scientific research and the proposal of a new hypothesis to explain observations. This shows that there could be a more mundane explanation for the MQ imagery than a novel new species, and more evidence would be required to bolster the idea of a new species in this area.

There are more than one mutilated manatee in the Florida waters, there are hundreds.
A couple of them could have been intentionally mutilated by a sadistic human or group of humans wanting to
create just this kind of news attention. They may have been more artistic than a boat propellor.

I also think the Monsterquest knew full well that they were filming a manatee and obscured or did not show film that would have proved this. Just like they knew from the beginning of the Devil Fish of Baja segment that it was a whale shark they were hunting. They just waited until the last 5 minutes of the show to finally
reveal it, to keep us watching.

If you wonder what beast of a human ilk might be so cruel as intentionally to mutilate a manatee.

Are we supposed to believe that boat propellers are guided by a random force that SOMEHOW manages to cut a Manattee’s tail into three perfectly symmetrical, even sections so that it looks like a trident???

I don’t think so. Sorry. Plus as stated above, the head did not totally conform to Mannattee “configurations.”
Yet another example of lazy scientific dismissal by the Mainstream Establishment.

The images in the video depicted a tail that was finned in three segments, but the three segments were pointed at the end, tapered to a point on each part. AND, the tail itself jutting above the water did not look rounded like a manatee’s tail.

That is why I have such a hard time with the manatee theory. Manatee tails are rounded, and even when cut by boat propellers, you can still see the rounded-ness of the tail.

So, to sum up, I don’t buy the manatee explanation at this point–doesn’t mean it categorically isn’t–the footage doesn’t give enough info to say what is going on with that odd looking tail, but the book is not closed on this one for me.
