Sea Serpent.

Posted by Miss Cellania in Animal, Video Clips on May 3, 2007 at 7:24 pm



Underwater videographer Jay Garbose was diving near Juno Beach, Florida when his camera caught an unusual creature that some call a sea serpent.

Jay says when he first saw the giant worm like creature he thought it was a sea cucumber…then he realized how big it was.

The creature, which measured between seven and ten feet, has baffled scientists who have seen the video.

    It looks like a cross between a long string of cellulite and a tapeworm. That is possibly the most bizarre and revolting sea creature i have ever seen! I can’t wait for them to identify it!

    Judging by the way it is moving and the way it changes its shape, I would say, almost definitely, it is a Nemertean worm, commonly called ‘Ribbon worms’. This one is free-living or in other words, nonparasitic.

    Funny how these odd creatures are regularly shown in news articles as “unidentified,” when in only 2 hours, someone has identified it on a blog. lol. GG newsies. GG.
