That Ain't No Mammoth

'Don't believe the UK Sun.  It's a bear with a fish in its mouth, filmed from a distance.  And, actually, it seems to be a bear filmed from a distance and etc. with the original footage tricked up for hoaxing purposes.

All Hail The Noble Oarfish

What they look like out of the water: What they look like swimming around the Gulf of Mexico

Two things:

1) this specimen is estimated at between 5 and 10 meters long. The oarfish (or manefish) can reach 17 meters in length, and are often thought to be behind various sea-serpent legends.

2) this specimen is acutally swimming backwards; visit Cryptomundo for the full story.

The White Crow Of Niagara Peninsula

An albino crow sighted around Niagara Peninsula. Cool looking (see below for another one photographed in the same area), but unfortunately not terribly long-lived:


There are reasons why there are so few white crows, said McGowan. Standing out in a flock of crows -- known as a murder -- makes them easier to get picked out by predators such as hawks, he said. In addition, melanin doesn't just add colour to feathers -- the pigment also helps hold them together, he said.

Argentinian Lake Monster!

A new image of the head and neck of Nahuelito, an alleged Lake Monster of Argentina.

And here is why I really want to learn Photoshop. Are there versions floating around out there on the P2P networks?

From Cryptomundo:

It’s an interesting picture but I’m about 95% sure it’s a photomanipulation or as the kids would say ’shopped!’. I’m a graphic artist and photo retoucher and as soon as I saw this thing I knew it was altered. If you look at it in Photoshop you can see that the waves don’t line up, there are obvious lines where it’s been altered, obvious places where it’s been smoothed/blurred, obvious darkening and lightening of key areas. My best guess is that this was a close up shot of a small log or a turtle sticking it’s head out of the water that was cut out, altered and placed in the middle of a larger picture of the lake to make the ‘creature’ seem larger.

I uploaded a picture where I point out a couple of the lines where the photo was cut out and moved to another pic of the lake as well as my version of the ‘monster’ and my modification turning it back into a log (these mods took me all of two minutes and aren’t meant to be realistic or pretty but to show how easy it is to manipulate this kind of thing).

Whose Santa's Daddy?

I don't know whether the explanation for this makes the graphic seem more or less weird, but I like it.
