Agreed… but so do “believers” at times.

Lake Cryptids is my favorite study it such an opinionated subject but i agree with shovethenos, lets not forget the other mysterious things below the lakes and rivers. River Dinos and Lake Dinos may still be roaming our waters. There is alot of hidden caves and many lakes are cold.

Manatees are nice thought thats good for NATIONAL geograpic, but the real subject is Lake Dinos because they do exist. I’e read many books and seen many documentaries. All science need is a little more research. I think their are MOSAURUSES out there, just look at Lake Okanagan.

Jeremy_Wells-

I realize people are reporting a Manatee, I just mentioned Chessie to remind that there are other cryptids that have been called by that name. Skeptics have a tendency to fixate on one possible explanation as long as it agrees with their worldview, even if it doesn’t address or agree with the bulk of the information and analysis.

Could be a manatee trying to swim north to escape some of the intense heat this year. Sure they like the warmer water but it’s been hot and it’s been non stop.

Oh yeah, if the tusk are missed, a walrus would be a good possibility.

Somebody needs to check though

If you want another possiblility try a walrus. they used to breed on Sable Island off Nova Scotia and the odd one still shows up in these waters .They have been photograhed on Sable, and off shore islands. In 2004 One 800 lbs appeared in Cape Breton and was well documented. If no one noticed the tusks,which would be underwater, when swiming the face is very much like a manatee.In a straight line the area in question is not that much further south of Sable.

shovethenos,

I don’t see any prejudice here. No one is reporting anything that looks like a long-necked seal or plesiosaur.

What they are reporting looks like a manatee, so folks are talking about manatees.

If someone reports something in the Chesapeake that has a long neck, I’m sure we’ll hear all about it on Cryptomundo.

The biggest clue to choose betweeen manatee and seal — to me anyway — is the flat manatee face versus the seals’ ‘dog’ face

Manatees overwinter in North and Central Florida in the warmest waters they can find. So any warm water spots there?

Everyone loves to mention the manatee called “Chessie”, but not the other cryptid with the same name.

- The one that is snake-like or plesiosaur-like.

- The one that counts CIA, FBI, and other law enforcement personnel among the eyewitnesses.

- The one that had video footage taken of it that experts at the Smithsonian confirmed was authentic footage of an unknown animal.

I sense a little prejudice….
