Sounds like it takes a “breath” near the end via blowhole, and the swimming pattern is vertically up and down rather than side to side, so my guess is something mammalian in the whale family. Or perhaps a seal, though they don’t have blowholes. But gators, crocs, sharks, and fish have horizontal swimming patterns and wouldn’t need that breath being taken (other than a croc or gator, but again, the swimming pattern isn’t horizontal and the skin looks very smooth, so not the texture of a croc or gator either).

just bc the captain thinks it’s a right whale calf, doesn’t mean he correctly identified the animal…

[@craigc5121]

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.

[@jpburnez5655]

EXACTLY!!!!! That thing is not even an inch closer to a calf whale, or a manatee like some morons re saying.

[@ScottRock-mr6qk]

@@Sekzay yeah what does someone who spends the majority of his time on the water know. Especially when we have some like you to say differently.

[@brianmsahin]

Good observation. Definitely not a whale. I've seen these creatures. This is a species of giant eel, probably this one traveled the river systems from Florida where they are,very common. When I saw the slightly buggy eyes and then the flattened vertical tail it gives it away. I first encountered giant eels in the Llanos of Venezuela, many years ago.

[@ScottRock-mr6qk]

@brianmsahin I've never seen an eel undulating up and down like that. They swim side to side, not up and down. This thing is swimming with its body up and down.

[@tillettman]

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.

[@ReveredWizardBob]

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.

ABOUT THE VIDEO. The whale, which became popular after Griffee posted the video on social media, was later identified as a North Atlantic Right whale, one of the world's most endangered whale species, according to Griffee. Days later, the whale calf was found dead near the port in Morehead City. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the calf was no more than a few weeks old and appeared to be in poor health.

[@TheBarwell]

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

[@skittlesrainbowunicorn6129]

Looks like a plesiosaur to me, specifically a Peloneustes Philarchus, Plesiosaur. The eyes are exactly where they should be on the top of the skull. The neck and flippers are just where they should be too.

Honestly it would be so insane and exiting to see a new species of animal or maybe something thought extinct . I’m not a marine expert at all but this thing is weird

[@srideout91]

If it is some sort of prehistoric animal, I pray that we never encounter it again because if we do find someway to catch it, we are going to experiment on it and people are going to try and hunt it and it’s gonna eventually become extinct like every other animal humans come in contact with so it’s best for us to never know what it is

If that is fresh water it's most likely a big gar, an alligator gar. They do that exact at the surface on our lake. Their back breaks the water and then the tail next. Big, big alligator gar can grow 6 to 8 feet and over 300+ pounds.

Right whale. It’s in the description

[@xevious2501]

Baby whale.. you can both see and hear its blow hole, and its traveling with its mom. Most people dont know, large sea animals like whales and sharks do very much come into shallow waters and up rivers occasionally in their lives. we only know but a few reasons, but speculate that in some cases conditions of the waters do play a part, (pollutants) or even mans own activities can lead them astray, as they often have a hard time finding their way back to open ocean. Also whales and dolphins are know to retreat to shallow inland nurseries for nutrients only found in such areas. eating inland grasses and seaweed that they dont find in open waters. You dont see it often but Dolphins and whales often take their young well into the shallows. which is why you will see such animals at piers and and docks along with their young. ive seen it first hand numerous times. Dolphins and their young swimming in water as little as 5 feet. Its also possible that the mothers train their young to fish by way of smaller prey. The shallows being easier for them to hunt and catch.

[@baryonx9463]

True. Specifically a juvenile humpback. You cat tall that looking on his blow hole and size of fins

[@brianmsahin]

Very interesting. I remember when I was backpacking around the world I helped out on a working farm that was also a protected wildlife area in the Llanos of Venezuela, in Amazonia region, and saw some giant eels that swam like this, the head and flattened tail is an identifier. They are species of giant eel very common in Florida so I think this is one that traveled north as they have been seen in the river networks of the South Eastern US. This is no mystery, it's a giant eel. I thought it might be a large snake briefly but the slightly buggy eyes and the flattened tail give it away. Well done to the camera user for not making a fuzzy video that would make it impossible to identify !
