Sigh.....

[@CiliophoraEuplotes]

Dalibor Jovanovic I would expect that most people that live in the beach or sea (especially who work in the sea) have more sensible explanations for the carcasses (or whatever else) the sea spit out everyday, while people who claim it's a monster would be a louder minority (like some media representants).

They also love their local myths and legends. I found a whale carcass in Senegal and when I showed it to one of my friends who worked on the compound where I was staying, he said it was a sea monster and didn’t believe that the skull belonged to a whale.

[@c-puff]

I know this video is almost 3 years old, but just on Gumbo, specifically "who thought it would be a good idea to cut off an unknown animal's head and sell it to tourists???" As someone born and raised in Africa.... it's clear you've never been to Africa, my dude 8'D For a rough comparison, my aunt saw her gardener walking home one day carrying a large bucket and asked him what he was carrying home. He replied "That thing." She tried to ask WHAT thing but he didn't have a name for it, just "That Thing". When she demanded to see inside the bucket show found he had caught a hedgehog that had made its home in her garden recently. She asked him what the hell he was planning to do with a hedgehog (which he didn't even know what to call it) and replied that "We use it to make Moetie" or, in english, 'traditional medicine made my the local witch-doctor'. Why a hedgehog? Because they're "weird looking" and therefore MUST have magical properties. So "why would you chop off the head of an unknown animal and sell it to tourists?" Because you're a poor African local and there are dumb European tourists around and they'll give you money for any weird shit that's out of the ordinary and "foreign" to them as this "I bought this off a hunter during my trip to Africa! He said it was from an unknown animal!" tat. Being violent in response to unknown things without any sort of oversight, especially if there's money involved, is pretty much the default response. Although I agree the BIGGER question is "why hasn't the person who bought the head come forward if it could get them famous?" I can think of a lot of reasons why (Not being very internet savvy and they might never have heard of this whole thing at all after going home to their own country. Perhaps their own country is not english speaking etc etc) but the question of why a tourists wouldn't come forward if it meant fame is a bigger mystery to me than "why did some poor Africans on a beach chop up an animal and sell it to tourists?" I agree with you that this whole story sounds far fetched and was possibly made up, but I also feel understanding cultural differences, especially in under-developed countries, might make you realise that people doing things that "don't make sense" from a scientific or academic point of view.... is exactly how people are probably going to behave in these places. And just be aware that as someone from a first world country (ie America) it might not be a good idea to try and figure out the logic of other countries and cultures, especially those heavily rooted in more traditional beliefs even to this day.

@@BentGear what? Pedantics aside, what the he'll did you say? Your sentence is nonsensical. Cryptozoology comes with conspiratorial thinking, which is inherently against Occam's razor. The conclusion that these creatures are simply things we already know about makes fewer assumptions than it being a new species or a supernatural demon or whatever. Or, we could say I dont know, instead of adding these crazy unfalsafiable assertions. I never said we know all the creatures in the world, but that is not what cryptozoology is about. Thats zoology, marine biology, and ecology.

I just found this channel. I love spooky stuff like Last Podcast on the Left, but it’s also nice to get some refreshing skepticism. It grounds me. I usually default to the skeptical conclusion, but I always leave stuff open to the unknown. It’d be real neat if the whole alien thing were true. That said, this stuff seems pretty solidly proven.

This comment and the fact that you've got Rowlet as your profile picture make this perfect.

[@jonmkl]

GREAT stuff! I’ve honestly always been confused by these corpses and was familiar with the third for years because of creationist dinosaur books I read as a child. Having been obsessed with dinosaurs the idea that they were still around was really compelling at that age. Wish there was more we could really KNOW about prehistoric animals. All our info is so incomplete. Just looking at how much our conceptions of plesiosaurs have changed since I was growing up is WILD.

Reality: orcas consume decomposing whale carcass Story time KZbinr: Orcas VICIOUSLY attack undiscovered animal with white fur and MASSIVE tail

[@sorryifoldcomment8596]

That's honestly what I imagined in my head too!

[@ljnliamcastro6488]

Orcas also consume shark livers since that's there nutritious meal, and orcas and sharks are enemies

[@ginkgothestink-o6949]

LjnLiam Castro Good for them

[@DeMooniC]

@@ljnliamcastro6488 And that's not true. Just a certain group of orcas do that as a "tradition", most of orcas don't do that and eat more than just the liver.

[@marileywegner]

@@ljnliamcastro6488 I don't think we can call orcas and sharks "enemies" een the biggest great white shark doesn't stand a chance agains't a single orca, I think it's something like Snakes vs Eagles

[@DanielBenzs65AMG]

Just discovered your channel and I’m so glad 👍🏽

[@Mewobiba]

Gotta say, I don't find the story with regards to Gambo particularly unrealistic. This was in 1983, it wasn't *that* common to carry around a camera, and even people that did tended not to shoot just anything and everything because film took time and money to process. I don't imagine it being that much more common in Gambia than here, though I of course could be wrong. And machetes are common multi-use tools, as are shovels. I've seen shovels and large knives at beaches here in Sweden plenty of times, and thats despite there being laws against knives. I could very well see this having occured: A dead dolphin's on the shore, possibly mangled by some sort of mechanical damage (hence the distorted appearance and entrails). Locals manage to convince some rich tourist to buy the head as a trophy (bc gods know rich people have gross macabre hobbies), chop off the head with readily available tools, and throw the remains in a pit. A 15-year-old boy with an interest in wildlife and a wild imagination sees the mangled carcass and don't immediately recognize it as a dolphin, and his fantasy sets off spinning.

[@ginadelfina5887]

Thanks for these videos; I saw a picture of that carcass caught by the Japanese fishing boat in a book a long time ago, and always wondered about it. Now I know. Though I'm still not giving up on plesiosaurus - Is that you, Nessie? But seriously, do you ever wonder if some dinosaurs managed to hang on in isolated areas for a while? It would explain why cultures all over the world have stories about dragons and similar creatures.

[@BigAl2-u7e]

Thank you, Trey. Now if i ever find a corpse on the beach. I will say, " Oh cool, a basking shark. ".

[@jamessibson7453]

Trey the explained your videos are very impressive !! Rational! Critical! Skeptical !! Common sense ! Science oriented !! Kudos to you!!

[@padenvan]

Tbh the Gambo story isn’t that far fetched, I lived in Africa for awhile and that’s 100% something that would happen. People sell food like coconut on the beach and use machetes to open them. And no one in Gambia would have likely have had a camera in the 80s unless you were extremely rich.

"Who brings a machete but not a camera to the beach" Think of "beach where people fish/work at" instead of "beach holiday".

having grown up helping my grandpa cut and prepare salmon, thats what i was thinking too lol

[@xxfalconarasxx5659]

Zuiyo Maru Carcass was also confirmed to be a Basking Shark based on tests conducted on its tissue samples. For those interested, look up the Glen J. Kuban report, "'Sea-monster or Shark? An Analysis of a Supposed Plesiosaur Carcass Netted in 1977 of the National Center for Science Education (May-June 1997 Reprint)".
