Mystery of dead monsters Moore coast

In 1925, the carcass of an unknown creature washed up on a beach about two miles from Santa Cruz, California. Some researchers see it stated that it was a dead whale. Meanwhile, other researchers said the possibility that the Plesiosaur carcass is deemed to have been extinct millions of years ago.

The creature was later called Moore's Monster coast, based on the name of the man who discovered it, Charles Moore. Sometimes the dead were also frequently called Monster Santa Cruz.

According to eyewitnesses, the creature's carcass stench out, has legs like an elephant, like a whale tail and head like a duck. Body length of about 10-15 yards and he also has a long neck about 6 meters.

The discovery of this strange carcass immediately became headlines in the local media in California. Did not take long, the researchers and people who want to know immediately flocked to the beach.

The California Academy of Sciences Museum studied the creature's skull concluded that the carcass is "Berardius Bairdi", ie whale species "Baird's beaked Whale" is rare. But this conclusion, of course, ignores the eyewitness descriptions see the legs like an elephant and a small tail. According to the researchers from these institutions, the possibility of false witnesses described as the condition of the carcass that has been damaged.


However, EL Wallace, a scientist who had twice served as president of Natural History Society of British Columbia, who helped investigate the carcass reject the theory. he thought it was clearly not the carcass of a whale.

"I have examined in depth the creature. I put my hand into his mouth and did not find any teeth. Large head and neck has a length of approximately 6 meters. Her body limp and his tail is only 90 cm from the tip to the spine. This fact is clearly contrary to the theory whale because the whale spine much larger than this creature. Once again, his tail is too small for a creature that lives in the depths of the ocean. And again, seeing the muzzle he has, he must have been herbivores. I think that kind of thing Plesiosaur ". 

 

Although Wallace believes that the creature was a kind of Plesiosaur, he does not believe that these creatures live in the modern period before stranded. He said the possibility that these creatures trapped in ice for millions of years. Ice may have been moved to the south and melt, causing the creature stranded in Santa Cruz.

In addition to these two theories, there are other research groups such as the origin of the "answer in genesis" who reject the theory of Plesiosaur, but also did not dare to say that the carcass is a Whale.

Thus, although the identity of this creature has been regarded as the final Whale, but this creature was still regarded as a puzzle and get their own place in the world of Cryptozoology.
