Finally a camera man who did his job right
at last))
It’s an orca and for those who think it’s a strange creature 🤡
Zoom in at 0:08 exactly. You can see the round head and collapsed dorsal fin. It’s an orca
@@jdos5643I think it is a whale but it’s definitely not an orca cause of the lack of white coloration on its body
@@Deadpool0210orca white is on the bottom and eyes. The top part what you can see is black. Then if you zoom in the face is round and the Dorsal fin is collapsed-it’s an orca not a “mysterious creature”
Appreciate how professional the camera man was he kept quiet and kept filming
Pure gold
Because whales are nothing to get excited about to a fisherman
@@NemeanLion- might be but the different points of articulation of this particular whale as it moved don't match any whales on record.
@@nicktubbs3723 oh please, there’s even a link in this video to the original video where the captain verified it was a right whale calf that was separated from its mother.
Except one thing. Portrait mode. lol
C'est un cachalot pygmée
J'ai vérifié sur internet
I saw something similar to this over a decade ago in Lake Superior and at first thought it was a seal. But later found out that there are no seals in the great lakes.
We got otters tho In the great lakes.
Dude that thing was agile and lengthy!
Possible it was a sturgeon??
I thought it was a dolphin
@@user-ze6er6dx9xthat was my thought. They get huge and like to flop around the surface sometimes
Ive seen one of these over 15 years ago on a quiet still night when the lake was calm. my friend and i were talking on the pier when the silence was broken by a loud moving in the water. We both looked and ONLY saw its back, but it was about the size of the thing in this video. We never knew what it was and occasionally reminisced about it through the years. This is my first time ever seeing it again, and it gives me the same chills i experienced years ago. Whatever it is, im sure it's the same creature we saw!
Finally a clear video of the unknown even if we still don’t know anything about the creature
Lmao. It's a Wright whale calf.
@@FuzzyWalrus123 U mean "Right Whale calf" So named, because of the amount of oil it had. Twas the (right) whale to kill.
Manatees
@@FuzzyWalrus123definitely not
@@philcollins4520 it's a whale.
Wow, one of the best video of an unknown creature
@Real Truth it really IS! Such exciting footage to see! I've watched it dozens of times. This is Genuine! Perhaps a Zeugladon (Basilosaurus)...I'm blown away!
It's clearly a whale
@@ReveredWizardBob which whale has the eyes on top of the head?
It’s a whale
C est une baleine
It’s a air breathing animal, which makes me believe it’s a mammal.
Your powers of deduction continue to serve you well
May it also be a sea mamal?
fish breathe air
Get off the gas thunderbear
manatee
reptile
This is obviously at least a 100 year old alligator gar. Do people not know really what that is?
Awesome
Not so sure about that. It has a more bulbous head and the tail goes horizontal, not vertical.
just bc the captain thinks it’s a right whale calf, doesn’t mean he correctly identified the animal…
Yeah, I've been watching more videos of right whales and whale calves in general and this thing is not one of those. The head almost reminds me of a hippo or horse shaped head. AND, there is too much undulation going on from the back of the head to the neck/body behind and even the back tail undulates which is not how whales move. Also, I am beginning to think that that back tail we see rise above the water may be not a tail at all but a side flipper or another appendage. It just seems odd--at first I thought it was indeed a tail, but now after many viewings, I'm not so sure.
EXACTLY!!!!! That thing is not even an inch closer to a calf whale, or a manatee like some morons re saying.
I'm not quite ready to say that's a dinosaur - but it's definitely a living creature, not immediately identifiable, and the camera operator didn't suddenly have a seizure. In other words - this is about 100Xs more convincing than any known photos or videos of the Loch Ness Monster.
It’s a mammal that breathe air looks like a whale
@@briandeluca4318 Possibly. In fact I'm leaning toward a known animal in an unusual setting. But still more intriguing than anything ever filmed in Loch Ness.
@@briandeluca4318 it's a whale calf.
@@icezycnxchannel3338no it’s not. It would not be by itself. It would be accompanied by its mother.
@@icezycnxchannel3338 I'd say so, or something like a Manatee or closely related.
When we only see part of the picture,...mystery forms. I love the ocean.
Then you know dang well that we know only 5% of the ocean.
This was spotted before. I watched a documentary on it. It was in Florida some ten years ago
Link?
the "trident tailed monster" i believe. it was on the show Monster Quest.
@@digimon916 something like that. I think they were trying to say it was a manatee with a damaged tail
It was called the Florida muck monster or mud monster or something like that. They did explain that it could be a manatee with damaged fins
That was confirmed to be a manatee. Several people that Monster Quest interviewed purposefully mislead them. It’s common for manatees to have sheared and split tails due to boat strikes and that’s what was photographed.
Seems mammal like. As if it needs to breath air above water. Doesn’t have large fins while twisting like a whale would but it’s tale is horizontal like a swimming mammal. Amazing.
This is a reptilian body shape, especially the head.
Swimming mammals flap their tails vertically while Reptiles & fish swim horizontal. Look at the video from a large computer screen the creature looks like a T-Rex
It’s an orca geeze how many times I have to keep correcting ppl here. Zoom in you can see it’s black and then get a glimpse of the dorsal fin it’s curved down.
* breathe
* tail
@@jdos5643you’re wrong sorry to tell you go cry about it
I would’ve though it was croc until I saw the tail. It’s definitely something prehistoric!
Also crocs and gators don’t swim like that their tail moves side to side when they swim
@@ballsballsballs3617 a small pod of bottlenose whales moving in linear fashion. They've been mistaken for "Caddie" before.
@@RealMaxHawthorne nope. The head is way to reptile like, if it was a whale the head would look more hump like. This could be a real prehistoric animal!
@@WHOOOSHXDOfficial if there was a way to leave images here I could show you, and if I try leaving a link the channel will apparently. block my comment. If you Google bottlenose whale images you can see how the females have these google-eyes that protrude upward, and that look like a gator when seen in profile. Look closely though; there are two different heads in the video. There is a segment where a square head breaks the surface. That is the male of the species, which also has a different and distinctive head, more like a sperm whale. Love for it to be a marine reptile of some kind, but in truth it's really a small pod of bottle nose whales traveling in a line. You can even see the dorsal of one as it porpoises in the first few seconds.
@@RealMaxHawthorneyeah but It still looks a bit different, and it moves very serpent like, unlike whales.
I hope this is a new cool creature we never discovered before
Lock Ness
A female that takes accountability for her actions?
It's a mutated hot dog from winerschnitzel
@@DistrustHumanzone can hope.
Wow! Excellent footage! It looks like a giant moray eel the way its tail "flopped" in the water.
Look at the link in the description. It's alredy debunked by the captain himself: Thankfully, Captain Griffee put the rumors to rest: he identified it as a right whale calf that got lost from its mother swimming around the port.
Oh no, that’s so sad 😢
😂😂
How is that being "debunked"? That's just finding out what it is. Not being "Debunked"
@@JuanPeron007 The title of this video is: "Mystery creature spotted by boat captain leaves viewers guessing". Which is deceiving for people not familiar with coast life animals, which I'm sure most of the viewers here are. The uploader of this video wants to make us believe, it is in fact a misteriuos creauture. But since it is just a whale calf, which is nowhere mntioned in the video or its description, this video is literally debunked. EDIT: I mean, just read some of the other comments here of people, really believing that this is evidence of a sea monster...
Thanks
Ok, I'll tell you what it's NOT: a manatee, it moves too fast, an alligator, they don't blow air; a bottle-nosed dolphin, too serpentine; a baby whale would have momma near by.
Definitely something unknown
? manatees move faster than this, boo.
I agree with all except the whale comment. It cannot be determined whether or not the mother is just below the surface.
A dead Right Whale calf was coincidentally also found dead today off the coast of NC
There are VERY few whales or dolphins without dorsal fins...none native to NC shorelines.
"Quick, Give him tree dollars and fiddy cent."
Finally a CLEAR -, NON -shaking video! Take notes Bigfoot enthusiasts! LOL!
Other people have filmed this creature at this same location! A woman's Retriever Dog was swimming there and it surfaced beside the dog!!! She or someone else filmed it!
The way this creature wriggles its body up and downwards like a serpent definitely shows it's not a whale. Looks unlike anything I've seen before, interesting. Pause the video at 0:08 you can see its head, definitely not a seal, fish, whale, dolphin, manatee or croc/alligator. This could be the real deal.
Bro it's a swimming komoto dragon
@@SpreadingOfGodsWordin North Carolina? 😂really 😂
@@chasescott9836 :))
Seriously has the classic horse head you read about in all the legends
@@rickt9846 Bro stop its the legendary komoto dragon
My brain:ITS THE MONSTER FROM THE LOCH NESS!!!!
Interesting to say the least😳would like to know what marine biologists think it is! Great capture👍🏻whatever it is🤔
rofl, its called a whale.... read a book!
@@mho... can’t read😁
I can't say that I'm sure about what it is but I still can't say that its not some kind of throwback.
I really think it is a throwback 🌊🦖
th-cam.com/video/8DyWwQsNteo/w-d-xo.html
i notice some people say its bottlenose whales, but they have a dorsal fin that breaches while swimming on top like that, this does not have that dorsal fin popping out, and the tail is very flappy, this is not a bottlenose or group of bottlenose whales.
It’s an orca orca orca orca! Geeeze
"It's a baby fuckin wheele, man! Holy shit! We gotta call the Coast Gaaad. Jay, look at this fuckin thing. Jay, that is still good fuckin meat on this fish, kid!"
At the risk of sounding boring, this has many of the signs of aquatic mammals with scoliosis. Not uncommon. They cruise near the surface to breath, and their tail sticks up from their bent spine. Google whale with scoliosis and you can see how the tail looks like a sea serpent.
Definitely not a bottle nose whale, they have large bulbous foreheads and small eyes that don't protrude like an alligator, this does. It's head screams alligator but it's not a gator. I couldn't tell you what this is.
So, it's clear footage of what is depicted in medieval imagery as a sea serpent. Looks like a horse head almost. Interesting.
It's a whale. Lmao.
@@FuzzyWalrus123 Lmao indeed.
😱 A lochness monster type creature?! Oh my gosh I knew it was a sea monster whales don’t move like a snake I thought of the possibility of it being an underwater snake it’s not even that either snakes aren’t that big.
@@FuzzyWalrus123No it’s not wise ass lmao! You non believers think you know everything then mock people that do believe please do something with your life other than be cruel and judgmental like the rest of the world.
It’s an orca calm down.
Finally not a potato phone footage
At first glance it looks a bit like an alligator but does look strange the more you watch it moving through the water.
The link in the description says it's definitely a whale but it seems to have eyes on top of it's head, looks too serpentine and its tail is pointed and looks nothing like a whale's. Am I crazy or does that explanation not make any sense?
I agree. I was looking at the comments for the shape of the head. I don’t see a fin on the tail either, it could be perspective though.
These aren't eyes on top of its head but the blowhole. If you look at pictures of other whales like the humpback whale it looks like that. You can also hear the breathing when its head breaks the surface
It’s an orca and the eyes are on its side. You’re welcome
@@loki5316 don’t bother wasting your breath on brainwashed people
Pliosaur
For those who are saying it’s a whale, do whales move like that? At 0:51 you see it had its head at the surface, its “shoulders” below the surface, its back above the surface, its “butt” below the surface, and its tail above the surface. Can a whale even bend like that? It seems more like some type of serpent. I know that whales are mammals and that’s about as far as my whale knowledge goes.
It's the ridge of a whales tail, you can clearly see it's blowhole showing when it comes out of the water. It would be much more obvious if it's fluke was also out of the water but there's enough there to see that it's either a baby humpback or sperm whale calf.
its loch ness monsters
It’s a whale bc the guy who videotaped it said it was a whale
Lookup Blainville's beaked whale.
@@Fan_Made_Videos literally reminded me of how the “monsters” looked on old sea maps when I looked it up tbh I actually learned of a new species today because of your comment😂. People fail to realize that nature itself is still an enigma and everything undiscovered and unknown isn’t what the human mind creates but could just be actual strange animals. Just like with lake serpents I feel like it’s either abnormally large eels or undiscovered species of giant eels or either hidden species of descendants of giant amphibians probably related to sirens,amphiumas, and caecilians that survrived at lake bottoms and underwater/underground caverns over the years. That’s my theory 😂. Or it all could be fake lol
What fantastic camera work.
Recorded vertically:(
That’s clearly a Jobson’s Ray-Whale. Discovered just one month ago on April 1st. It’s a brand new species of Ray-Whales.
It’s an orca bye
@@jdos5643 You are embarrassing yourself. Do you not know that Rays and Whales have successfully mated recently? It took the scientific world by storm. People were literally doing cartwheels when they heard this news. Jay Jonah Jobson, the leading expert on Ray-Whales, christened this newfound species after himself. “Jobsons’s Ray-Whale”.
Jobson’s have a dorsal fun though, no?
@@benjaminwyatt3778 I don’t know about dorsal fun, but Ray-Whales lose their dorsal fin due to a dominant gene. Rays don’t have a dorsal fin, and whales have a very small one in most species.
Am I just naive? I’ve never seen a whale swim like that, or look like that…
ITS A SWIMMING KOMOTO DRAGON
Probably some kind of beaked whale.
That’s because it’s an orca for a fact. Here let me help you also. Stop the video at 0:38 exactly. And zoom in. You can see the collapse dorsal fin. You’re welcome
You haven't? All aquatic mammals move their spine like that. All fish and reptiles move side to side.
@@carlgrimes2512 You are right.
That’s one fast large swimming alligator.
The 'head' seems to have raised eye sockets like a reptile but did not seem to move in the S pattern like an alligator or crocodile.
The fact that this footage is so controversial as of now it’s starting to not to become obvious it’s not a whale. Congrats Nessie enjoyers, you basically have the plesiosaur version of the Patterson Gimlin film!
The sanibel island monster footage was already similar, and still as controversial
@@brocklee9202 really? That’s awesome I gotta check that out!
It’s an orca now go learn about them
It is either Nessie's cousin or Ogopogo's long lost Aunt !
Seconds later a little blue periscope popped up and someone shouted "R2! You be more careful. R2.... that way" then R2-D2 flew out of the water and landed on the embankment. Dagobah's water looks cleaner these days, I must say.
It looks like a Manatee or Dugong to me. Look closely at the "Head" and nostrils on the snout..........could be a variety of seal as well. Either way awesome catch and nice footage
the tail gives it away as a manatee
It was me in a full body wetsuit. U see me flipper, u see my goggles (im on my back during that part) and you see me winding and grinding up on that pole. You know i see you looking at me and you already know………..
Thanks, I followed the link to find out it was a right whale calf. I hope it found its mom.
Yes , bigfoot photographers take note , notice how the camera is still and in focus 😂
Lol. Guys, it's a right whale calf that got separated from its mom. Read the description and the story before you make assumptions. Besides, if it were an actual monster, the footage would be blurry.
What a pathetic comment to make
How so? Do “monsters” also have powers that can interfere with cameras besides being not real??🫢😳🙄
@@Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrggghhhhhh Wooosh!
9 months later, i dont see the explanation you mentioned anywhere in the video
@Salandrews in the video's description, there's a link to the story.
a genius from some news channel claimed to be an "expert" said its a baby whale and hes 100% sure. LMAO
The guy who recorded it said it was a whale too
@@terrencecollins8020that’s because it is it’s an orca. It’s been debunked already
Amazing video! No idea what the hell that is!
Bruh camera man never dies- even in the sight of Nessie- FACTS
that’s not a whale its an unidentified creature!
bruh thats a crocodile
a small group of bottlenose whales, moving in linear fashion. you can see the flukes break the surface, the goggle-eyed females profile, and the sperm-whale-like square head of a mature male. Also, the tiny dorsal fin is visible at one point.
@@RealMaxHawthorne it’s not a whale troll
@@RealMaxHawthorne NOPE ... no dorsal fins buddy
@@RealMaxHawthorne actually one of the better theories i’ve seen
I have no idea what that is?? It swims like a seal, but has a reptilian look to it, a long "horse like" head and a split tail?? This is a good one and great footage!
It's a swimming komoto dragon
@@SpreadingOfGodsWord No it's not.
@@lichtsoldat7697 yes it is
@@SpreadingOfGodsWord A Komodo Dragon in North Carolina with a split tail? C'mon.....
@@lichtsoldat7697 bro stop thats clearly a swimming komoto dragon
You can hear it as if it has a blow hole when it breathes, yet it looks like a croc at the start. It looks like a river dolphin until you see the tail
Brilliant footage clear and definitely something live 👍🏻 I did think a crocodile but after a few more looks its some kinda reptile possibly? I wonder if they is another video knocking around?
Elasmosaurus
No it isn’t, there dead, grow up
I was gonna say that looks like a baby whale by the way it was moving. It had slightly uncoordinated, amateur swimmer movement. Turns out the old horseman can still remember what a whale looks like, even a baby one. 😄
It’s an orca period. Here try this. Stop the video at 0:38 exactly and zoom in…..
@@jdos5643 It's not. Period.
Moves like a big ass gator
So beautiful I cried thank you
Lol
BASILOSAURUS!!!!
Interesting suggestion!
Literally tho it could be
That is the closest match to this creature straight up. Best suggestion I’ve seen so far! It looks more like basilosaurus than a damn bottlenose whale..
Come on that’s wishful thinking. It’s an alligator guys!
Bilbo baginssaurus???
Since when does a whale have an alligator head asking for a friend
Fr tho . Nah this is something different
I think this is just the blowhole of a whale. When you look at other whales it looks familiar. But on this recording it looks like eyes
Since where do you see an alligator head? It’s an orca
That my friends is a Dependapottomus. They’re indigenous to the lakes, streams and barracks in and around the greater Camp LeJeume area.
I saw eyeballs a snout and some kind of tail,... Speachless!
Sorta like a long neck dinosaur snout
Looks like a huge crocodile. They are reptiles.
Crocodiles don't have flippers
Definitely seems a genuine animal, unusually genuine footage imo. Maybe a large eel, catfish, sturgeon. I’m no expert but looks almost whale like. Where was this filmed?
I saw it too. Just off the beach in Melbourne Beach, FL. Tried to get a pic and video but didn't surface again.
Whale calf, I read the description.😂
From that snout and the rear fin, it's obvious that it's a plesiosaur.
It's a Deformed dolphin.
No, it is not.
Finally the clear video reveals the still unknown !
It moves through the water like a seal. Impossible to see what it looks like below the surface of the water.....
Large eel?
nope!
Maybe an Oarfish?
@@youngramy1090 Oarfish undulate side to side.
TO ALL COMMENTERS: Read the description and check out the article in the link. Save yourself the embarrassment of declaring this to be an unidentified monster.
@@vengeance5020 It tells you in the description to FOLLOW THE LINK TO THE ARTICLE> It tells you in the article. The link is the blue writing that you hover your cursor over and click on. good grief, some real bright sparks commenting here that's for sure;)
@@vengeance5020 Are you blind? The article says straight up that the creature was a right Whale calf!
Lol
@@vengeance5020 It's a right whale calf that got lost from its mother swimming around the port. The mother was spotted nearby.

He should have jumped in to get an underwater shot of the thing lol.
A fish?! 😁...a really long fish?! 😄
Président Macron's wife.
Looked like a Manatee to me , especially the flat wide tail and the two large nostrils when getting air. Paddling a canoe in the 10,000 islands area of the Everglades National Park one surfaced ( several times ) like that where the Broad River and the Gulf of Mexico meet.
It’s an ORCA!!!!! Bye
I've seen a few manatees in my time also, and I never saw one move like that.
NOT A MANATEE!
Not a manatee. I’m from Florida. Seen many manatees in the wild.
This thing had eyes on top of its head that protrude. Manatees don’t have that. This creature also has fins at the rear where a manatee’s flat rounded paddle shaped tail would be.
Definitely not a manatee.
Not a chance. SW FL resident for 25 years. Head is way too long for a manatee and the body is very slender and flexible
As a Surfer for 37yrs. I've seen everything that could ever be seen in the water.
I have absolutely zero clue what the Fuck that thing was.
Super good footage
probably an unknown species of a giant otter
To me, it mostly acts like an eel. A predatory type like a conger or Moray chasy prey near the surface, or maybe two animals mating.
The Meg 😳 Confirmed sighting 👀
Close guess but no cigar. It’s actually an orca.
@@robbiekop7is an orca calm your conspiracy self down
Fluke is wrong.
Must not have had the sound turned on in my original opinion. There is an exhalation similar to ceteaceans and pimipeds. There could be more than one animal. But damn! That's a hard call!
The head seems cameloid to me. I suspect this creature is an example of what's known as Cadborosarus. Compare against this 2009 footage: th-cam.com/video/bO0Zohwp65A/w-d-xo.html
Yesss
Yes, my thoughts exactly!
Or you can go to the link in the description
finally someone mentioned Cadborosaurus! that's the first word that came to my mind when I saw this footage😅
WHOA! What the heck? is it an alligator? a seal? It has a tail just like a seal! WHOA!
It's actually just a dachshund!
Gave me a Kelpi impression.
Nessie, what are you doing all the way over there? 🏴
I don't see my dog Nessie there. What are you talking about? 🇵🇭
Scotland become to stuffy for her
um what whale has eyes positioned like a hippo????
Props to the news channel for using their technology to slow the video down, enhance the video quality, and so on.
Super professional and useful news team. You’re all very helpful and talented 🧐👏

Whale calf. Been Debunked already.
It's an old fashion sea serpent! Wow.
It moves like a whale, rises to breathe like a whale, maybe it's a whale
For those who want to know, it’s 3 dolphins swimming very close together
That is NOT a dolphin.. Look at the head! And it has no dorsal fin whatsoever!
Wow the monster are swimming quitely and not roaring like a dinosaurs.
Everybody in the comments acts like they're the next best marine biologist when they're, in fact, Georges Costanza.
wow, that's a very mysterious whale...
Orcas are not mysterious whales.
Excellent video! Basilosaurus? No orca has a head with eyes like that . Great capture
That looks similar for sure but it seems more long neck type and there could be more of its species larger but it seems very intelligent and nothing like a whale or croc either
A harbour porpoise or something similar. The blowhole and the absence of a big dorsal fin is quite typical for a porpoise.
It looks like multiple "creatures" swimming next to each other. Possibly a whale/dolphin with two pups.
Hi! It’s a right whale calf from a year ago - :) they migrate past there- but it’s unusual to have one come in like this- if same calf- it has lost its mom and sadly did not survive :(
Oh no!
The sucks
🤡
I thought it was an alligator!
It’s definitely a juvenile whale. You can hear it exhaling as it surfaces and the tail undulates like a porpoise. A large adult whale doesn’t wiggle in the water because of how long they are, but, a juvenile is short and would swim with a wiggle to it. Hey, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. 😊 Any marine biologists want to chime in?
Exactly, you can see the little head bulge even, and the curvature of the area between the back and the beginning of the tail, it's very obviously a whale
Itsa sharkodile thingy. Me n my bro seen one behind Piggly wiggly one time in a bayou. Some ole woman was feeding it dry dog food. We were very intrigued n then our momma had gotten bitten by a snake and we couldn't eat supper
🤡 how is going to be a whale with that tail?? please !!
@@cipheroth It looks like a whale's tail.
Wouldn't a whale that close to the surface spray water? 🤔
Baby whale- head shape, body moves up-down,not side to side like a fish, and finally, the horizontal whale tail.
This camera man is a pro. Great video
