A giant mysterious sea creature caught recently on lake Eyre in South Australia. This discovery was made by two tourists who decided to set up camp in the heart of national Park Lake Eyre. They have come a long way during the week, when suddenly discovered a terrible creature that was already on a very strong stage of decomposition.

The creature had a length of approximately 6 to 7 meters. Initially, witnesses thought it was a crocodile. But Jim Campbell, the other a biologist working at the University of Adelaide, told them this:

"When I first saw the photos I immediately realized that this is not a crocodile. I'm sorry to tell you that I have no idea what it was, although I taught biology half of my life."

In addition, the animal was not visible scales, and crocodiles only live in the North of the country. Now the biologist wonders how this monster got into this place. Indeed, this extremely salty lake dries up during certain times of the year:

"How such a giant sea animal was able to reach this region that is so dry and inhospitable environment? There are questions that remain unanswered."

The people who lived in this region for millennia, says Cult on the lake lives a monster. They say that the beast has claimed the lives of many children of their tribe. They described the monster as a giant snake, which ate mainly plants. He had a small head, long narrow neck, bulky body, four legs and a long pointy tail.

Original news

Une gigantesque et mystérieuse créature marine s’est récemment échouée sur une plage longeant le lac Eyre, au Sud de l’Australie. Cette découverte remet en avant les nombreuses théories qui affirment que le plus grand lac salé du pays est peuplé de monstres légendaires …

Cette découverte a été faire par deux randonneurs qui avaient décidé de camper au cœur du Parc National du Lac Eyre. Ils effectuaient un long trekking d’une semaine quand ils ont soudainement découvert une effrayante créature qui était déjà dans un stade très avancé de décomposition.

La créature mesurait une longueur estimée entre 6 et 7 mètres. Sa tête, quant à elle, avait une taille semblable à celle d’un bras adulte. Au départ, nos découvreurs pensèrent qu’il s’agissait d’un banal crocodile. Mais, un ami biologiste travaillant pour l’Université d’Adélaïde, Jim Campbell, leur affirma que ce n’était pas le cas :

« Quand j’ai vu les photos pour la première fois, j’ai immédiatement su que ce n’était pas un crocodile. Je suis désolé de vous dire que je n’ai aucune idée de ce que c’est dans tous les cas, bien que j’ai enseigné la biologie la moitié de ma vie. »

De surcroît, l’animal ne possédait pas d’écailles visibles et les crocodiles ne vivent que dans le Nord du pays. Le biologiste s’interroge maintenant sur la manière dont ce monstre est arrivé à cet endroit. En effet, ce lac extrêmement salé s’assèche par endroit à certains moments de l’année :

« Comment un tel animal marin gigantesque a réussi à atteindre cette région qui est un environnement si sec et inhospitalier ? Il y a des questions qui restent sans réponses. »

Le peuple des Arabanas, qui vivent depuis des millénaires dans cette région, raconte qu’un monstre logerait dans le lac Kulta. Ils affirment que cette bête prenait la vie de nombreux enfants de leur tribu. Ils décrivaient le monstre comme étant un serpent géant qui se nourrissait essentiellement de plantes. Il possédait une petite tête, un long et étroit cou, un corps volumineux, quatre jambes, ainsi qu’une longue queue pointue.

Post-mortem changes

Because ordinary people are rarely familiar with the nuances of postmortem changes in organisms, it can often take them for something mystical.

Gray meat flies eat rotting tissue, leaving a sharp edge. This explains the "surgical" removal of organs and parts of the skin. However, such behaviors of the flies many take for the interference of aliens or attacked by unknown creatures.

The main signs of this injury:
