Strange sighting in the Bay.

Has anyone ever seen a creature like this before. It was just floating helplessly in 80' of water. Do you think it's dangerous? It didn't appear to have any teeth and couldn't swim too fast. Heard it make some strange noises though, sounded like &^%$#@ #%@^& *&#$^!. What the hell is it??

Not sure but it might be a Clamerus Bluvisherus Reelestatus....or more commonly known as a floater :hee: .

bears a striking resemblance to a beluga whale.

Rick Ackley 08-01-2007 06:36 AM

I have heard of these. The feet are connected right to the Oreo Pouch, they are awful navigators - or really good navigators - just depends on whether you consider the ability to hit markers on a GPS at night is good navigation or bad :huh: - This species, erroneously referred to as Nonnavigas Oreous, or Quahaggas Doublestuffus, but has been scientifically proven to in fact be Beyotchen Lilnekkus. However, if the family / species naming process added general frame of mind in the naming convention, we would likely have "Nonnavigas Quahaggas Beyotchenlots" as the name...

This species is known for it's poor knots, old line, and repeated ability to backup over various fishing gear, as well as managing to navigate both land and seaborne vehicles into positions that renders said vehicle stuck...

That's a white whale. The particular one in the photo is especially old and fat. They tend to get that way with time. From the smile on his face I would think there are female white whales in the area! :)

You should have harpooned it dave.
