The carcass
The Ataka Carcass was a very unusual and spectacular carcass found in Egypt.
A horrible 72 hour long storm ravaged The Gulf of Suez in January of 1950. The day following the storm, the locals found a humongous ugly body lying on the beach. The people were shocked at this whale-sized creature and word spread quickly. Very quickly the scientists rushed to discover what this animal was. A photo was taken. The photograph shows a massive, fat creature with huge walrus-like tusks jutting out from each side of it's mouth. It also had a blowhole. Close observers said that this animal had the lack of eyes and apparently had baleen.
Unfortunately, the scientists were never able to analyze what species of animal this was. The carcass disappeared and then people found out that the locals had seen a creature fitting this description swimming near the shore 10 days earlier. Scientists eventually conclude that this was a new species of cetacean. But since it was not thoroughly studied, this is a cryptid and not a new species so far. No further reports have been given of this creature but who knows what the future holds.....
