The enigmatic remains of a giant marine animal with a furry tail found in Russia’s Far East have puzzled locals and social media, but scientists have managed to identify the odd creature.

A mysterious sea animal washed ashore near the airport at Shakhtersk on Sakhalin Island this weekend, Sakhalin Media web portal reported on Wednesday. The remains, a few meters in length, featured a furry tail and a huge nose, making it very difficult to identify the creature.

Social media reacted to pictures posted online with a variety of explanations for the appearance of a never-before-seen creature in Russia. While it reminded some people of an ancient dinosaur, the most popular guess was that it was a Ganges River dolphin from India.

“Probably, our summer is so cold that even the Indian Dolphins getting into local waters are covered with fur,” a commentator joked.

However, according to experts, it would be impossible for a fresh water dolphin to survive the swim in the salty ocean. Besides, they don’t have any fur and are smaller in size.

“We have gathered a group of scientists. We studied all the versions and came to the conclusion that the fossils found ashore belong to a whale cub,” Nikolay Kim, Deputy Head of the Forecasting department of the Sakhalin Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography, told Sakhalin Media.

Kim added that the cub must have been a giant beaked whale, a species that is quite common for the region, so the discovery is a “no wonder.” Besides, all dolphins and whales are born with a hair coat that disappears with age.

Berardius bairdii, also called “giant bottlenose whales,” is the largest of all beaked whales, reaching up to 12 meters in length, and found in the North Pacific. It is listed in the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS).

      Just another Caucasian Male invention that has, THIS TIME, killed the entire earth!
      The BIG DEATH is in motion now!
      Oh, thank you white-skinned judeo-christo-CREEP males for bringing us, straight outta HELL, Nuclear Power, world wide!

      • V. Religious

        Yes, Three Guys, the genetic mutations have begun to show, in earnest!
        There will be NO deniers NOW, of their horrible fate to come from radiation poisoning!
        MUCH lamenting and gnashing of teeth, though!

        • Loyal American

          As a Loyal American, I am obligated to warn you all!
          Of the massive increase in background radiation, here, in the jew-nited Fraudulent Fascist states of TORTURE and MILITARY TERROR!
          THE SOURCES OF THIS INFORMATION ARE MANY AND GROWING.
          So, NO dis-information derision about Veterans Today as a Source of EPA recorded Back ground Radiation Levels across the DEAD MAN WALKING country of the jew-nited Fraudulent Fascist states of TORTURE and MILITARY TERROR, AS YOU HAVE 10’S OF OTHER SITES TO DOUBLE CHECK THESE RATHER Unbelievable back ground radiation levels.

          Normal Radiation is 5 to 20 CPM.
          Years ago (1970’s) 50 counts per min. on Geiger Counter was an alert.

          Highest Recorded Radioactive City in America This Week 6/12 to 6/19/15
          Congrats to Billings, Montana! Billings is once again the Highest Recorded Radiation City in the United States with 866 CPM! Just think, the 866 CPM is just with one of the four usual radiation measurements, too.
          296 CPM New York City, NY. Partial.
          342 CPM Boston, MA Partial Radiation Data Only.
          232 CPM Chicago, IL. Partial.
          553 CPM Bakersfield, CA. Gamma and Beta Radiation Combined CPM.
          317 CPM Los Angeles, CA. Partial.
          672 CPM Tucson, AZ. Gamma and Beta Radiation Combined CPM.

          Americans are all nothing but frogs in a big pot of warming water, and your Chef Destroyer is slowly turning up the heat of radiation!

          You have ALL been Radiated.
          You are getting sick in MASS!

          Where does all the cancer come from?
          Where do all the different kinds of mental dementia come from?
          Why is childhood autism exploding?

          There ARE NO CURES to the damage done to the body of ANY LIVING THING by Radiation!

          YOU ARE DOOMED, in a HORRIBLE WAY, TO DIE!!!!!!!!
          YOUR SPECIES COMMITTED MASS SUICIDE, HUMANS!

          For, in just 70 years of the Nuclear Age, you are all WALKING DEAD!
          And, the Nuclear Age was brought to you by Caucasian Male judeo-(for the most part) christo-CREEP scientists!
          At that time they lived in the jew-nited Fraudulent Fascist states of TORTURE and MILITARY TERROR!

          General Electric and their wonderful reactors, spread world wide, and now, are malfunctioning.
          And, you have no back up plan to replace the electricity these horrendous killer plants generated for you morons!

          As for the future, this is as good as it gets.
          No matter how hard you try; no matter how much you promise jesus to be good: this is it, it is over.
          It is all downhill from here for humanity, all the way to Extinction.

            Vaccines, vaccines and Vaccines. That answers all three questions better than Radiation from Fukushima.
            Well. I guess I’ve been lucky in Michigan. Both of my geiger counters are still reading around 12cpm. Newaygo, Michigan.
