hmm, whats this washed up on my beach.
 

anyone know what species this is ???, ive tried to find a website that might help me with this as it is very unusuall for this to sort of thing to be seen on my beach (Bispham/Cleveleys). to no avail i thought id ask here.

im thinking a baby whale maybe of the killer variety ? its about 2ft long maybe more.

Porpoise?

I would guess it`s the remains of a young Common porpoise "Phocoena phocoena". I can watch them quite regularly in the Baltic sea - nice fellows.

Naar, it's a dead possum mate.

IF its a porpoise where are all the side fins??

Wait?!?! It's a drunk girl sleeping on the beach. Buy her some breakfast!

Valid point, if they were bitten off, the bones should be visible. I guess they are burried under his fuslage.

Likely birth defects.

side fins is there right in the centre, black skin still on it. in its mouth was stuffed with wood, lolipop sticks etc, :( i had thought it got that stuff stuck there and therefore died... but from that skeletal image the jaw and head dont seem quite as sharp and pointed.

We're so bored we're taking photos of roadkill and posting them here. We need a patch now!

Let's compare lint!

Probably in here somewhere.

Well if its died because of whats lodged in its mouth?.... thats a sad way to go :(

I don't know what you call it but I am sure that it sure would taste much better when fresh with a little bit of soy sauce and wasabi mixed together, wrapped in seaweed leaf and sticky rice.

I also thought it had stuff shoved in its throat, but those are actually his jaw bones (most of its mouth decomposed :ick: ). The larger image and the skeleton image up above showed that quite nicely. As far as for its fins, have no idea...

mmm yummy

fins and lolipops !... lol yuk...
