I for one hope this is just an illusion, or I wont be taking a dip in the sea so soon. However, original owner claims this is a real sea monster that was dumped by the sea on a near-bye beach. Discovery Channel also claimed that unbelievable sea creatures live in deep-sea, and that we aren’t aware of their existance. Probably this one is a representative… but I doubt it. Decide for yourself, but before you do, jump inside this article for more pictures, and then jump to eBay for more info on this bid.

I agree with a lot of you. Its total fake. A baboons skull wrapped in some kinda fake fish skin(fiber glass or other material) then extra stuff added on.
Absolutely a baboon’s skull, 1st thought of a Chimp but the ridge of the nose is too long. HOWEVER, Excellent taxidermy, sweet.
geez bout peed me pants…laugin at how fake this is!!!:)
Well, that is fake! Have you ever seen a fish arriving on a beach shore, mouth opened like that with mammalian teeth, almost looking alive. Come on. It would have been found lying on the side, body deformed and at least, slightly decomposed. Instead, this creature seems almost ready to be put on a desk to be shown. This is clearly a creation.
someone could have placed it into that position for the photo……. but still it is most likely fake but also possibly real the mystery remains
My opinion:
If it is real, then it would be a cross between an Angler Fish and a Pirahna.
I highly doubt it is real, though.
Actually I Navigated to this page via Google, It’s really interesting year page. Thank you very much for sharing. In Indeed impressive.
Looks like its part dogfish
WHAT SEA IS THAT SO I KNOW WHERE NOT TO SWIM!!!???
Charlie (fourth post from the top) is right – -this is the art of Juan Cabana. I visited the site at the link on Charlie’s post, and it’s fascinating.
One of the giveaways that this is not a sea creature is that the eyes are intact. Anything which washes up on a beach becomes eyeless in a very short time due to ocean birds.
I comment when I like a post on a website or if I have something to add to the conversation. It’s caused by the passion displayed in the post I looked at. And after this post Mummyfied Sea Monster&. I was actually excited enough to post a thought :-P I do have 2 questions for you if it’s okay. Could it be just me or do a few of these comments come across like they are left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting at additional social sites, I’d like to follow you. Would you make a list all of all your public pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
Cool
In fairness, regardless of whether this one in particular is fake, we still don’t know everything about all sea-species and there is a possibility of creatures like this existing…
I for one hope this is just an illusion, or I wont be taking a dip in the sea so soon.
What a beautiful photoshop. Total fake.
This is totaly real this monster could live at the bottom of the deep sea somewere we could not get to yet so their.
grabbing you by the balls LOL
I am glad that thing isn’t realCan you imaging sun bathing on the beach enjoying the sun and a corona,, and all of a sudden it catches is grabbing you by the balls LOL
It’s clearly a corpse of the endangered Baboonfish (Artsencrafticus Baboonicephalus) Their diet is omnivorous, but mostly herbivorous; yet they eat insects and occasionally prey on fish, shellfish, hares, birds, vervet monkeys, and small antelopes. They are foragers and are active at irregular times throughout the day and night. They can raid human dwellings and in South Africa they have been known to prey on sheep and goats. Their most striking feature is a skull that comprises 80% of their body mass. They also enjoy long walks on the beach and candle-lit dinners.
ROTFLMMFAO@ “Atsencrafticus!!” baaahahahahahaha OMG I just appreciate you right now for giving me life…Hell, I don’t have to view anything else all night! OMG…I LOVE THIS POST! LMBOOO
F. A. K. E. !!!!!!!
i think it is fake but it looks cool nothing with skull that size could swim and it would be rotten as crap
Just i wnant to know:
from where you got these v.long caninies?
how she closes its mouth?
&what kind of food does ti eat?
What about gills not that that really had to be said about it being fake good job on making it though
So not real… Is there any accident report regard this? haven’t heard about it.
looks fake but then again our oceans are vast and there is what you call andlerfish that do look similar although they have a bulb one their head which is used to lure in its prey
anglerfish
you also get the pink frogmouth which in looks is very similar to the pictures
It’s obviously a fake because the creature should have an ability to close it’s mouth, but there isn’t enough room.
It is fish skin stretched over the skull of a baboon.
Obviously a fake. The birds didn’t give a damn about it
wat da fuk is dat i need dat in my fish tankkk
This is the artist and some more monsters : http://www.thefeejeemermaid.com/gallery1.htm
i say real you can kinda see how it would move and it could have moved and that it could survive with its mouth open so it could eat. so my kind sirs and ladies this is real
I say it’s not real. The teeth look like mammal teeth. Someone probably took a mammal’s skull and made it look like a fish.
How could this be real? Okay look at the first picture… IT IS BASICALLY FLOATING IN THE AIR! Although that could be from the weight of the skull? I don’t know! That probably a baboon skull stuffed into the mouth of a fish… Or it is photo shopped and they morphed a baboon with a fish? All I am saying is that is surely NOT real.
