John Conway’s Zuiyo Maru Creature Painting
London artist John Conway recently painted a hypothetical reconstruction of what the infamous Zuiyo Maru carcass (found off New Zealand in 1977) might have looked like in life, assuming the carcass as found was an accurate representation of the living animal. Here is a montage of Conway’s painting compared with the real item. This painting was made for the recent book Cryptozoologicon: Vol. 1 (John Conway, C. M. Koseman and Darren Naish, Irregular Books, 2013). With Conway’s kind permission, this montage has been presented here.
The Fort Knox of Zuiyo Maru scientific papers. Enjoy!
