Land creatures. Kazakhstan

A mysterious creature unknown to science has been discovered in Kazakhstan. On the morning of January 14, NG correspondents received information that in the village of Baganaly was found… An egg with a dinosaur embryo! Having laughed at the "duck", we nevertheless found out the details of the case and did not regret it at all, the website reports.

The detected object is about 20 cm long, soft to the touch and covered with coal dust

First of all, the question "have you found a dinosaur there?" puzzled the veterinary department of the akimat of the Auliekolsky district and the local veterinary clinic. They listened to us patiently and tactfully replied that no, they had not heard or found anything like that. Then we contacted the akimat of the Kazanbassky rural district, which includes the village of Baganaly. The question about the dinosaur egg surprised the employees, but the chief specialist of the akimat, Marzhankul BRAKHMETOVA, asked not to hang up and called the village.

- Yes, they found something in the middle school, - the woman confirmed after a couple of minutes.

- A week ago, the stoker of our school found a strange cocoon in a pile of coal, an employee began to touch it with a shovel and the cocoon opened, there was something soft shiny gray outside, 20 centimeters in length— - director of Baganali secondary school Kairat Kaidaulov told NG. – The temperature outside at that moment was -30 degrees and for 40 minutes outside the shell, this something did not freeze. As a result, the stoker took the remains of the cocoon along with the contents to his home.

We went to Baganaly together with Andrey ANDRYUSHCHENKO, a researcher at the Nature Department of the Regional Museum of Local Lore.

The house of Gennady KUZNETSOV, the stoker of the school, who found a strange object, turned out to be cramped — the police, the director of the educational institution and employees of the akimat of the district occupied all the rooms. They all looked at the "inhabitant" of the egg, most of all resembling a dead leech, black with coal dust. Or a sausage with a fin. In general, it didn't look like a dinosaur at all. There were pieces of the shell in the bag next to it, the surface of the color of the mounting foam glinted in the light.

- The cocoon was found at about 16 o'clock in the afternoon, on January 7, on Christmas Day, at that moment I was hammering coal in the stokehouse of the school, when suddenly the crowbar fell into a certain void— - the stoker Kuznetsov told us. – I began to clear the coal with a shovel and came across an oblong cocoon, it was similar in size to an American football ball. As soon as I touched the surface, the shovel stuck to the cocoon. I began to pull the tool towards me, the shell began to move and broke, this thing was moving inside, it was white until it was covered with coal. I was wondering what it was, so I took this mysterious creature to my home, because it could have been dragged away by dogs, and so at least you can give it somewhere to the institute for study. All this time I kept the remains in the pantry and before that I washed them with water, there is no smell from the creature.

The coal in which the cocoon was found was unloaded at the school building in May 2015, and it was mined in Ekibastuz.

The organic fragment is quite soft and now no longer shows signs of life

— This thing is definitely of animal origin, traces of the circulatory system are visible here, but it is impossible to say that this is a separate animal without detailed dissection, - said researcher Andrey Andryushchenko after examining the strange object. - We need a good laboratory, something like the laboratory of the veterinary faculty of the Agricultural Institute, that's where we need to send it. In its current form, the find may turn out to be anything, for example, a part of an animal's intestine.

While the police were asking Gennady Kuznetsov about the details of the discovery of the find and trying to force us to delete the pictures from the camera for some unknown reason, representatives of the SES appeared in the house. They disinfected the room and placed the organic matter in a sterile box.

- Now he really looks like a gut, but he was alive, my daughter saw in the photos on the Internet how they gave him a chip and he swallowed it— - said paramedic Alfina LYGINA, closing the creature in the drum.

— A week has passed since its discovery, and it was necessary to study it right away, - said the school nurse Alexandra SYUTKINA.

— And I see this for the first time, even though I have been working since 1978— - Galina MASLYAK, a local veterinarian, spread her hands.

It is not known how long it will take for laboratory studies of the find. Most of the data we have received is taken from the words of witnesses. Based on this information, Andrei Andryushchenko, a researcher at the Museum of Local Lore, summed up:

— In the mass of coal there was a cavity in which the cocoon or capsule was located. When breaking the coal with a crowbar, the cavity was pierced and when the stoker began to stir with a shovel, the wet capsule stuck to it because of the frost. After the rupture of the shell, a kind of moving living mysterious creature and liquid were found inside. It can be assumed that the liquid contained a substance that does not freeze in the cold. For example, glycerin. Since the object was watered with water, it was freed from antifreeze and, in the end, everything froze. What did we see? Firstly, everything is mixed with coal dust, which makes it extremely difficult to determine the find. We did not dare to perform an autopsy on the spot and handed this case over to the SES, although it should have been done much earlier, not a week later. Thus, we observed some kind of tissue of organic origin - what was supposedly a cocoon. A creature, or more correctly, a sample, since I did not find signs of a mysterious creature during the examination - it resembles a section of the intestine. It is impossible to say with certainty whether this is a separate creature or a part of an animal on the spot, let's wait for the results of the research.
