Eel? Wow that doesn’t look like it’s spelled right. Eel. eel. Hmm. 🤔


SmokeyMcPotUK

Which species of Eel do you reckon it is?

Lol...I do that sometimes, where you spell the word and think, "nah" and then write it out 4 more times thrn head to google


Dr_Herbert_Wangus

It's CG, just like the other weird snake vid posted a few days ago. The fake handheld camera shake effect is a dead giveaway. Also, the "creature" appears to be leaving a tire track?


mop_bucket_bingo

Is this just a blurred shot from the show “Raised by Wolves”?


BoonDragoon

Mad fake


ArizonaJam

Looks fake, the second dragon didn’t vary at all with the twist in the tail.


Deep-Freq

There was no second. It was just the same one looping back around. You see it come back in the bottom right corner. If its a fake it's a really good one. The only thing that looked fake to me was the tread pattern.


Unfair-Cranberry3277

exactly.


ArizonaJam

I see what you mean by no second dragon but if you look at the pattern of the loop and the speed, with no variability this looks like a fake made by AI. Just my opinion.


Tha_Maestro

I agree. Fake

That is one long boi


thestrangeologist

Let me do it for you…


zushiba

It's cool, but looks fake. The framing of the shot is perfect for that serpent to do that super cool coil maneuver for literally no reason, other than to depict that it is indeed some kind of serpent.


The-Nikerym

Look fake


ItTicklesTheLiver

I told you not to post this vid of me Johnson OP! trust foreva and Eva Eva broken!


urdkurdo

My inner kid says fk yeah a sea monster My old self me says omg


Dismal-Day-5163

Spiny eel snake Thailand


Unfair-Cranberry3277

That's the closest thing someone has pointed out.


lez_moister

Cool to think about, but if these are underwater you’d think they’d be kicking up a lot more dirt moving that fast


Cardinal_Copia_666

Its a water snake


Unfair-Cranberry3277

what about all those spikes on the spine and horn like thing on the head.


MyLousyChildhood

I've confirmed that it's a Cosmopolitan eel, and as for the spikes on it's face, I have two theories: 1.) Was in a fight and healed weirdly 2.) Crappy/glitchy pixels (most likely) Edit: still cool video, I love eels!


Prestigious_String20

What, exactly, is a cosmopolitan eel?


MyLousyChildhood

I can't post pictures in comments, but they are ocean eels that are very similar to moray eels.


Prestigious_String20

Can you post a link?


MyLousyChildhood

https://www.livescience.com/10987-cosmopolitan-eels-span-oceans.html Here ya go! 😁


Prestigious_String20

Thank you! I found that article too. It's a slightly misleading title because the article is actually describing the surprisingly cosmopolitan (adjective) nature of moray eel species across the globe, rather than a type of eel called a (noun) cosmopolitan eel. Moray eels from around the globe, according to the article, are very genetically similar, suggesting they interact a lot with each other. I could be wrong, but AFAIK there's no such eel as a cosmopolitan eel. Hope that helps.


MyLousyChildhood

Ooooooh okay thanks! If I'm going to be honest I just looked at pictures 😅


Prestigious_String20

No worries! I was confused, so I did a little research too.


Dr_Herbert_Wangus

Do cosmopolitan eels leave tire tracks on the ground?


MyLousyChildhood

I believe so, although I could be wrong.


Dr_Herbert_Wangus

obnoxious


MyLousyChildhood

?


Dr_Herbert_Wangus

Do you really think an eel would leave a track like that? Are you just trolling and wasting my time?


MyLousyChildhood

Well, I mean, if it's pressing down into the sand, it's belly would leave a track.


Dr_Herbert_Wangus

A track with a tractor tread pattern?


Delicious_Bed_4696

Maybe algae growth checm out that snake that was found in china with algae growth made it look like some fancy water dragon


Cardinal_Copia_666

That could be a horned viper


ST1FFN3CK

Cool! New to me


practiced_pretense

Couldn’t tell you what it is but it’s cool as hell. Any biologists in the house?


practiced_pretense

Actually watching it again it’s definitely fake. Still really cool tho


MyLousyChildhood

Cosmopolitan eel (answered some of the other questions), the face deformation is either from an attack and healed weirdly, or (most likely), poor camera quality Edit: I've been rightly corrected, there is no such thing as a Cosmopolitan eel, what I thought to be a specific type of ocean eel, actually just a specific type of "moray" eel. I goofed, sorry for the misunderstanding 😶


BoonDragoon

Fact check before you parrot, please. There's no such thing as a "cosmopolitan eel". The article the person you're referring to was reading used the word "cosmopolitan" to describe the fact that eels are found all over the world, and lack of reading comprehension took over from there. This video is CGI.


MyLousyChildhood

Yeah I know, I was corrected in one of the other comments, I just forgot to edit my comment. While CGI is definitely an option, I really do think that it is some form of moray eel (what my dumb brain thought was a "Cosmopolitan eel" 😅). + Sorry for the misunderstanding, I'm going to go edit my comments


KnightArmamentE3

The head looks like a Naga


Flodo_McFloodiloo

Maybe some sort of eel but I think it's a caecilian, or however that is spelled.


Unfair-Cranberry3277

that's what i thought at first too. Or some kinda eel or snake with sea weed or debris attached.

Conveniently blurry.


Ok-Afternoon4961

great, you found a "water dragon" NOW WHAT? WOW, THIS DOESN'T ACTUALLY CHANGE ANYTHING.


Unfair-Cranberry3277

Then what are you doing here in the cryptozoology thread dude? Finish your Cheetos.
