(Update: Experts have established that the mystery creature is a badly decomposed shark. According to number of world famous shark experts, the carcass is likely that of a thresher shark. The reason it looks so mysterious is due to its state of decomposition. As for the horns? Those are likely its jaws, that would normally be covered with skin. So, the bottom line is: not a dragon!)
Ever since the remains of this creepy unidentified creature were discovered in Cuevas, Spain earlier this week, officials have been very confused.
At 13-feet-long, the sea creature first appeared to have horns on its head, although later examination revealed them to be merely out-of-place cartilage.
For now, experts are just guessing at what the creature may be. So we’ll just have to wait to see if anymore answers come. As for me, I’m still crossing my fingers that it’s a dragon.

Take a look for yourself. Any guesses?
That is so weird and cool at the same time. 😮
i now
Whoa…..I have NO idea what that is!
Maybe its Morpheel the boss from the water temple in The Legend Of Zelda:Twilight Princess
(LOL Just kidding ;D)
I wish that they had a picture of the face.
Me to
It cant be something like a dinosaur or it would have been broken down.
I know right. I heard (Sorry if I spelled that wrong.) that they don’t have enough money to work on it and find out WHAT it is. Well in that that case, I guess that the Locklness (Again sorry about the spelling.) is dead. 🙂
no it could have maybe it was alive recently and died and no 1 knew about i and if they did they kept it a secret
and if u want 2 see what i think it mite have looked like watch the movie Waterhorse
like that movie
ya it nice
listen there is no water dinos just creatrues at the time of dinos that lived in water plus i dont beleve in evelution
talk about MC???
There is no evidence that all the dinosaurs died. I believe that dinosaurs are still down in the depths of the sea. only 5% of the sea has been explored, there’s still 95% of the sea to be explored. So its ether a really big fish or its a DINOSAUR!!!
AMEN!
I agree!
I think they just do not want to admit it is a real dino or dragon beacause it would kill evoulution
plus if u go to the link they gave and watch the video they admitted that they have never explored this area of the ocean so prove it is a shark and not a dragon or dino.
No dinosaurs ever lived underwater. Also, more than 5% of the sea has been explored.
There are dinosaurs in the water you can see fossils of them.
true true percy jackson but there but what about that other percentage and plus there were dinos that lived in water but often came up for air like the pleaseosaurus sorry i cant spell it rite but it goes long those lines
I might be wrong on the percentage because I saw it on a documentary about a year ago so this year it might be 7% or 8%
then please explain what the other 92 or less or more percent
I knew it! I always knew it!
Some sort of ancient sea snake maybe?
Oarfish.
idk. It kind of looks to cylinder-like to be an oar fish. Those pics look more like a great snake.
yeah, definately an oarfish!
Ore fish, not oar fish
eel dragon, ahhhhhh!
WHAT IS THAT THING? It has claws and a really ugly face.
Maybe its a hoax.
It looks pretty real just for a hoax.
Here, here!
awkward…right?
Where are you guys seeing pictures of its face? Also, will Boys Life post again if more information is found out?
I will post more photos, and follow up, if and when the mystery gets solved.
Thank you so much, Clay! I really wan to see the face. 🙂
Hey clay, why is your name red?
Ok
the reason it is red is because he the editor of Boys life
that is AWSOME!!!
I want one as a pet!!!!
y? u dont even know wat dis thing iz
i DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT’S WHY I WANT ONE
well here is your shark
weird………………………..
What the heck?! This has GOT to be just CGI.
ITS NESSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! (awesome)
Hmmm…. I’d say it’s a goldfish. 🙂 Peechtival!
I one time saw something like that in a river near Phoenix
But it looked like a pair of pants
I think it’s a government plot, so I think they know but like with aliens, they don’t tell. But if I had to say, i’d say Ancient water beast. In the meantime don’t go swimming in the sea.
Don’t go swimming. : }
guys it could be the meaning of life. you never know.
lololololololololol
:B
I think it might be a giant slug
A SLUG!!!!!! So that looks like a really, really, really, big slug to you. It has a tail. Slugs sort of don’t have tails.
it could be the head,and neck of a dinosaur.
i once read a book about south carolina sea creatures what happened was.some tiny sea weasels* fell into a thing of plant growth and turned giant. that could have happened. *ps you can by sea weasels at the store.
OK, everyone. Sorry to disappoint, but the experts have an answer to the mystery… It’s a shark! A terribly decomposed and almost unrecognizable shark.
Thanks! I looked up pictures of a Thresher shark, and it does look sort of like a decomposed Thresher shark.
Aw…….I hoped it was a dragon! 😛
i have a question then if they said they cant afford to see what it is then how do they comehow magicly know what it is after they say they will not look into seeing what it is please awnser id really like 2 no and to me it doesnt look like a thresher shark
The country couldn’t afford to pay to have the creature examined. But, several American and European experts agreed to examine for free. Their conclusion was that the body was that of a shark. Most likely a thresher shark. Again, it’s SO badly decomposed that there isn’t much resemblance. The way that the experts can tell is based on factors like its teeth, fins, skin, muscle structure … etc.
thanks Clay i was wondering about that.
PATHETIC JUST A MEASLY SHARK NO MISTERY OF THE DEEP
DANG IT
a sharks cartilage could not be that stretched out
The cartilage isn’t stretched out. It’s poking out of the shark’s decomposed skin.
Gaaaah! The world has turned red! Peechtival!
???
WHAT HAS HAPPEND HERE???
Sharks don`t have bones.
More: http://headsup.scoutmag.wpengine.com/files/2013/08/c10.jpg. Imagine that jaw split in half, and sticking up through the head. It would resemble horns.
And you’re right, sharks don’t have bones. But, they do have “calcified tissue,” which looks like and is strong as a bone. For example, their teeth and jaws are made from the stuff. Why no bones? So that they are more flexible, lighter and speedier.
I didn’t know that. Wow….. I need to read more on sharks. 🙂
clay why is there a red world up above????
It looks like the Loch Ness Monster!!!!
aww man!
okay what is it with the world and photoshopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
THAT IS PRETTY CREEPY!
THERE ARE A LOT OF ANIMALS WE KNOW ABOUT… AND EVEN MORE WE DONT.
I PERSONALY THINK IT IS A VARRIATION OF AN EEL THAT HAS ADAPTED (NOT EVOLVED) TO FIT IT NEEDS
Did you know that all of your posts on here have been in Caps Look?
Awwwwww man, a Thresher shark…….. Oh well, I didn’t want to think it was a dragon. That would change History Textbooks forever!!!!! Oh, and GLaDOs, nice comment on Morpheel, I was thinking the same thing.
yep and destroy evolution 1 of the only scintific theory that has no proof
It looks like a sea dragon
… Thresher Shark? Way to be a buzzkill “experts”. lol
Its definitely not a thresher shark because sharks do not have bones just cartilage, and in the pictures those look like bones.
Its…………………
Yer Doom

Its ninjapiesfairygodmothers doom
HEE HEE HEe
