But it sure could not run on its flippers. A river dolphin could stick its neck out of the water. But it sure could not run on its flippers.

I'm talking about figuring out what various known animals might be the probable answers to some of the sightings. There is no way that a permanently water-captured mammal could be the source of the larger bodied, land-based "dinosaur" reports, bipedal or otherwise. :-) The operative words here are “part” and “portion.” I’m talking about figuring out what various known animals might be the probable answers to some of the sightings.

Something with a neck? Dugongs/mantatees (which one it actually was is debated based solely on translation) are actually mentioned in the Old Testament, in the Bible. When they built the tabernacle (portable temple for the 40 year walk) the skin was used as a wall/covering of some sort.

I have no trouble believing that they are behind many cryptid sightings. The pink dolphin of the Amazon with its "out of shape" body and long neck looks even more unsual. Since I saw the Sirenia chart, isn't the Steller's Sea Cow one of the most neglected cryptids in the world? Yes, manatees look pretty unusual.

He talked about his Dad growing up in the depression in the area around New Smryna, Florida, and that manatee was frequently on the dinner menu. He said it tasted pretty good with its high fat content! The other "pink" meat?!
