If it's a hoax, it's likely based on the Brian Froud designs for the "Mystics" ("urRu") in the film <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>The World of the Dark Crystal</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.worldoffroud.com/www/films/dc/dc3.cfm">www.worldoffroud.com/www/...dc/dc3.cfm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://lavender.fortunecity.com/tomatoes/168/darkcrys/index-b.html">lavender.fortunecity.com/...dex-b.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

The difference that strikes me is that the original animal looks a lot longer-necked than the whale pic. <p></p><i></i>

looking at those suspended whale skeletons,I'd say its a hoax.They've covered the areas where the eye cavity and limb joints would give the game away.<br>Perhaps the fishing just isn't paying the bills.Maybe they were hoping for an influx of cryptozoologists and tourists to suppliment their wages. <p></p><i></i>

With stingrays in the news because of Steve Irwin's death, this might be a good place to remind people about the way that dried stingrays have often been presented as dead mermaids or other cryptozoological curiosities. I could only find this one image online and it's not too clear, but I remember buying one as a kid at some seaside tourist track. It was the strangest thing I'd ever seen.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ventriloblog/19039190/in/pool-mb_neworleans/">www.flickr.com/photos/ven...eworleans/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>
