Update: Mystery Is Beached

In the earlier posting on the “Giant Mystery Turtle Photos”, I hinted at the possible answer to this. Comment makers came through with the final proof.

Please compare these first two photos of the supposed “Giant Mystery Turtle” to the one at the bottom:

The “mystery photos” appear to reflect very favorably to the following image of a humpback whale in the initial stages of decomposition:

Caption: Park Ranger Linda Rath standing next to dead, beached Humpback whale. Photo taken on June 25, 2006.

The whale was beached in Andrew Molera State Park on June 23, 2006. The BSCoC page also has a video shot on June 26 [YouTube link].

But, of course, it doesn’t mean that Giant Turtles might not still be out there.
