Our first sighting was on February 5, 1985 when we saw a 60+ foot long sea serpent crash into a submerged rocky ledge 20 yards away from us directly in front of where we were parked in our car. On January 26, 2004, we took a 3 1/2 minute video of several sea serpents swimming in SF Bay which Bruce Champagne examined and who concluded does contain images of several serpentine unknown marine animals at least 60 feet in length.

An archosaur adapted towards not only vertical swimming but vertical undulations is still pretty baffling.<BR/><BR/>I'm actually doubting there ever was a large, vertebrate vertical undulator. Basilosaurus probably didn't have enough vertebrae to really "undulate" per se, and later species in the genus may have moved in the horizontal plane. That's...for a post that I've got cooking away though.Cameron McCormickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08521083680718243221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903316070344664352.post-42951912057593985072008-02-24T14:47:00.000-05:002008-02-24T14:47:00.000-05:00I agree- what i would do to get ahold of some of t...I agree- what i would do to get ahold of some of those reports Bruce cites (the one involving the photographed beached carcasses, and the one involving two 1As wrapped around each other swimmig in ten feet of water) and see when they happened and if the witnesses are credible...<BR/>I wonder how a reptile can move with vertical undulations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903316070344664352.post-71241228797424331982008-01-31T20:11:00.000-05:002008-01-31T20:11:00.000-05:00That was a fascinating and comprehensive bit of co...That was a fascinating and comprehensive bit of commentary. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>At first blush, the idea that there could be a large ocean-living animal that requently visits the surface yet still remains "undetected" just seems too incredible. But when I read that the beaked whale <I>Mesoplodon traversii</I> is known to exist from contemporary remains, but apparently has yet to be observed alive (if I understand correctly), it gave me pause.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903316070344664352.post-13056266257734776602008-01-24T12:55:00.000-05:002008-01-24T12:55:00.000-05:00Beautiful summary.

It is synonymous with baloney, applesauce and hooey. However it's really just shortened slang for bunkum. I hope the rest of your post is up to the same standards as your opening word. <BR/><BR/>In order to find out, I guess I'll have to read it...<BR/><BR/>For something so long, it's actually quite interesting. I agree with you, just because there's no proof something exists, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, however belief in things with no supporting evidence is folly. <BR/><BR/>Great pictures too! I love the carapaced, or giant turtle. The lack of four elephants is dissapointing though...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
