The first one seems to look sort of like a bottlenose dolphin that didnt mature its mouth, or snout?


The 2nd one looks very very cool. I guess its an Oarfish. One very cool looking thing!

I am 90% sure is a young delphin, I just need to nail the correct species.

Edit: Can't seem to find the correct species, but I can post a few pictures as why I believe it to be a dolphin, or at least a related species.

Irrawaddy Dolphin:



Pygmy killer Whale:

Hmm. Interesting indeed. I'm with Thain Esh Kelch as well, it closely resembles the Irrawaddy Dolphin, or at least the genus Cephalorhynchus due to the short snout/blunt head and the lack of vestigial hind flippers.

There are a couple of factors making the Irrawaddy very unlikely... It's a freshwater dolphin, it's from Asia (a long way from Mexico) and the mouth is way to small (of this animal) compared to that of the Irrawaddy.

I would however rather put my money on porpoise. It's a very small animal (porpoises are smaller than dolphins), it has the broad-based, low and triangular dorsal fin of the porpoise and is blunt-nosed.

I'll give it some more thought. Watch this space.


(I’m pretty certain it’s not some sort of “mini whale”.)

And I'm with you on that one. Its definately post-natal, and well, that kinda rules out whale-size.

The whale almost looks like a narwhal without the tusk. The long one ( oarfish ) is an actual type of fish, nothing really new. However, that fish alone is probably behind hundreds of sea-serpent sightings.

The Baja creature reminds me a lot of the Florida sea serpent. Florida's not too far from Mexico, either.

Maybe?
