One of the photographs was reproduced by the owner of the Lake Monsters facebook page and it is reproduced below. I made the remark that the creature image in it looked interesting bu/t that it needed to have better contrast to make it out
Jay Cooney turned up the contrast and it resulted in the image below (Dale D also worked on this version to create the best possible contrast between the creature and the water.) The result is very similar to some of the images coming out of Lake Champlain and pictured on this blog recently
Mrs. Moir's Loch Ness Monster Sighting above and the Umfuli SS sighting below. All of these creatures seem to be described as being about the same absolute size, about 30 feet long overall visible ( 9 meters)
The strong similarity between all of these creatres widely scattered in time and space is a good reason to think there could well be something substantual to the reports and they are all describing the same species

Excellent article. I would suggest otters swimming in a row for the photograph, but it does have a rather turtle-like head and the position of the body reminds me of the Chatham Island and Easington "sea serpents". Thus it is a rather interesting photograph, and if only we could have more of this animal with better detail.
ReplyDeleteActually (not being just contrary about it) the head in this photo does not look turtle-like to me (Others do)
DeleteI guess I should mention that in comparison to the witness' drawings, we are seeing the whole length of the neck of Nahuelito but only the first half of the body, the rump is presumably submerged. If it was showing three humps, that would be a more obvious comparison
The original photograph in RIO NEGRO and CLARIN newspapers was incredible,I will have to look into the old files...the Barzi photograph.And of course the footage of 1988 which appeared in Redaccion 88 from which you can see the frames below.
