I love that this story showed the weird thing and then also gave the perfectly normal explanation for it. I wish more outlets did this, so thank you BoingBoing!

99% of the time, these stories are reported as “OMG crazy sea monster” and left at that. Let’s be honest, that’s usually what BB does also. But if we wait a few days for the experts to go figure out what it is, it’s a much better story! The truth is always way more interesting than silly speculation by armchair randos.

Can I just say that I love the word manky? I don’t know why, but I do!

Zombie dolphins are truly an untapped source of horror material. It may not be a mystery but it sure does look creepy.
