What is this creature?

[Muskieman]

A friend, co-worker of mine is camped on Pike Lake north of Sturgeon Falls on HWY64 N....They heard a small splashing sound in the lake nearby her and her Mom walked to the dock and picked this up with the net...

 

It died in a bucket and was shipped to Science North.. why there? I don't know but....that's where they took it.... They showed it off to cottagers and none of them knows what it is.... honestly neither do I .

 

She described it to be about as big as a 600ml Pepsi Bottle or a Tall Boy Beer Can...maybe a little bigger, She said it has no legs but tentacles like a squid..eyes and mouth like a Catfish and about as hard as a Tadpole... apparently had what looked to be a translucent skin and weird colors....along with a lot of slime...she swears up and down that it's not a joke.. and she's a rather serious person.

 

She should get information back from Science North sometime next week..

 

Have a look see ... whaddaya think it is?

Randy......carefully walk away, and grab some tin foil. Cover your head and your famillies heads quickly.

 

They're here........Run for the hills

Yikes! That's definitely different and can't say I've ever seen anything like that around these parts. I'm curious to hear what this would be ?

Turtle, with a bad birth defect?

I'm very curious as well..

[Rod Caster]

wow! It certainly has good camouflage as it looks just like a rock. If it is an unknown species I can see how it would be overlooked......If it is an unknown species that would be amazing!!!!

Click that link if it works and just read the thread. They are talking about two different species but the one picture kinda resembles it.

Ok definitely not a jellyfish lol just looked at thepics closer. Next guess is rotten mummefied fish lol . I am kinda leaning towards the turtle theory over mine.

I was waiting for you to chime in

I`d be willing to bet that Roy finds out what it is. He`s probably scouring the web as we speak.

If it had eyes and mouth, as stated, possibly something in the cuttlefish family?
