Don't know if it's real, but it sure is interesting. Thirty five tons of something big and dead was found on the beach in Tecoluta, Mexico in March, 1969.... A seven-man commission of scientists reported on April 20, 1969 that the monster was a rorqual whale, known as the finback whale, however, that particular explanation fell short of explaining the 1 ton horn and body armor. Not only that, the first group of biologists who thoroughly examined it with the idea that it might be a whale concluded that again; it did not match any sea creature known to man. The creature was reaching a length of 89 feet. The body is long and covered in hard armour. The tail is bilobate like a whale’s. The color is black and white striped. The head has a tusk on the end that weighs about one ton. The mouth has 1 1/2” teeth in the mouth. There have been no sightings of this type, it is known only from at least 2 carcasses, one of which washed up in Tecoluta, Mexico in 1969 and the other in The Gulf of Fonesca, San Salvador in 1928. In the Tecoluta case, despite the tusk, a group of scientists said it was... a fin whale, which it most certainly was not. This creature appears to be a reptile, due to its scales, although it may be a fish.

OMG. I am not a big lake/ocean swimmer. I like to see what is under me. I have to have a few beers to go tubing or anything. That is just freaking scary!!! Where do you find these stories?
It does NOT look anything like a whale.

I hate swimming where I can't see underneath me too. There's monsters in the water.
I've always loved ocean animals and lake/sea monsters. I'm a big geek.
