A massive and mysterious creature has washed up on a beach in Russia, and naturally, everyone is freaking out.
According to the Siberian Times, a smelly, hairy “sea monster” at least three times larger than an average human, turned up on the shore of the Bering Sea on the Pacific side of the Kamchatka peninsula.
The incident was first reported by Svetlana Dyadenko, a witness who saw the mysterious creature and captured photos and video of the beast. In a video shared on YouTube and titled “Kamchatka sea monster,” witnesses on the sand examine what appears to be an animal with gray and white coloring, lots of fur and a possible tail (or tentacle)—but no defined head or other body parts.
The Siberian Times reports that Dyadenko wrote “the most interesting thing to me is that the creature is covered with tubular fur.” Tubular hair, which is hollow and similar to a fiber optic cable, according to Gizmodo, is the type found on a polar bear.
Dyadenko also asks if it could be an “ancient creature” and pleads scientists to “inspect this enigma that the ocean threw at us.” In her post, she also explained that the creature was too heavy to be moved or dug up.
“You would need an excavator because part of it got completely covered with sand,” she wrote.

These are sometimes called “globsters.” A lot of times carcasses that wash up look furry but it’s the remnants of connective tissues or bits of decomposed muscle tissue. Its shape is pretty odd, though. It looks sort of lobed. Given it’s size, probably a baleen whale of some kind.

Agreed. Definitely collagen.

Does that in any way, shape, or form resemble a whale?
A whale with a tail?
Granted, alot of it is buried in the sand, but seriously?

Well if they confirmed it’s tubular hair then it’s hair not decomposed flesh and sure looks like a long tail. I would guess a possible unknown whale species because they do have hair as a mammal but more at infancy. I hope we do learn what it is at some point. Thanks
