I’m guessing a baby dolphin born dead or died soon after that had birth defects…

I love that they “confirmed” no-one knows anything about it.
That’s a good definition of all media outlets.

Those teeth though…
Dolphin have nice symmetrical rows of them,
Wouldn’t birth defect explain that, too? Are they born with teeth? I assume they are.
Anyway, to me it looks like a malformed dolphin fetus… Also seems like the most likely explanation…

Definitely a Moray. Here is a nearly identical one from 2013:

Yeah, you can see the triple rows of teeth and even his little neck wrinkles.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to tell the difference between a mammal and a fish.

As someone mentioned, it looks exactly like a moray eel. It’s got the same square snout, rough body shape, white spots, the (breathing) hole behind and below its head, the teeth… it’s a bit rotten and bloated and lost its eyes (which wouldn’t be in the same place as a dolphin’s - there’s a weird spot where they would be, as if someone used a cloning tool on the image…).

Dolphin 1: Hey, you ever f*** an eel?
Dolphin 2: Oh sure. Who hasn’t?
Dolphin 1: Well, I made a baby with one, but it didn’t live.
Dolphin 2: Damn, that’s a shame. What did you do with it?
Dolphin 1: I tossed it on the beach. Those humans will go nuts trying to figure it out.

Frequently mammals drive cars and watch television. Fish, less so.

Which is a shame, because fish would be really good drivers.
