Mysterious remains of the Newfoundland Sea

Scientists are now extremely embarrassed by the pictures taken on the Newfoundland Sea: a giant animal skeleton lying on a white glacier, clearly a brown ribs and a bent back spine.

The mystery has no explanation for the mysterious remains of the Newfoundland Sea

Researchers in Canada, even in Greenland and Norway, have yet to claim the origins of this mysterious remains - Garry Stenson, Federal Fisheries Department marine biologist, told reporters. Monday (June 4). 'This is also the first time I've encountered such a case.'

At this time, Stenson's colleague at the Ministry of Fisheries was heatedly debating about whether this was the corpse of a bearded seal, or of a walrus, or perhaps of a white whale. . However, when there is no authentic evidence in hand, they still cannot come to a firm conclusion.

It is known that the shocking picture was taken on the waters of Bonavista Bay, east of Newfoundland (Canada). The author of the photo is Eli and Donna Norris who live near Newtown town, then a friend named Ruth Knee has sent to the Ministry of Fisheries to verify the origin.

Knee said the elderly couple did not want to be annoyed when they became the focus of the media, but they could prove the authenticity of the photo. Even Stenson expert confirmed that the photo is not a joke.

According to Mr. and Mrs. Norris, the giant spine protrudes from the iceberg about 2.4 meters - this makes Stenson guess this is the remains of a very large size mammal.

However, he was not sure about the cause of such a strange posture : because the animal stumbled down the glacier crack, or because it died dry before and then the snow ice in turn cover? Determining the lifespan of the skeleton is also very difficult, because the cold environment can blur the trace.

Add another equally important challenge: how to determine which iceberg is currently drifting.

This is not the first time that strange remains appear in this coastal area. In June 2001, a resident of St. Bernard's, of Fortune 's Gulf was horrified to discover that the 7-meter-long skeleton drifted ashore. At that time most of the remains were severely decomposed, so it was impossible to identify the origin of any creature, just calling it a simple name 'sea monster'.
