      The arguments of many of those narrow minded saps is : they look at a photo of a living animal, then the rotting carcass, they don`t look superficially alike, so the experts are wrong and it must be a monster! Sigh.....

      I would expect that most people that live in the beach or sea (especially who work in the sea) have more sensible explanations for the carcasses (or whatever else) the sea spit out everyday, while people who claim it's a monster would be a louder minority (like some media representants). I didn't know there was a technical name for this though.

    I love the idea that trunko was a whale boner, but my first impression was a decomposing whale being tossed around. I’ve been to Senegal and traveled through Gambia and the story sounds like some everyday stuff that happens there. Almost no one there has a camera, and people take their machetes everywhere. They also love their local myths and legends. I found a whale carcass in Senegal and when I showed it to one of my friends who worked on the compound where I was staying, he said it was a sea monster and didn’t believe that the skull belonged to a whale. Maybe he was messing with me because we joke around a lot and it’s often hard to tell.

  • @Mewobiba
    @Mewobiba 4 года назад +4

    Gotta say, I don't find the story with regards to Gambo particularly unrealistic. This was in 1983, it wasn't *that* common to carry around a camera, and even people that did tended not to shoot just anything and everything because film took time and money to process. I don't imagine it being that much more common in Gambia than here, though I of course could be wrong. And machetes are common multi-use tools, as are shovels. I've seen shovels and large knives at beaches here in Sweden plenty of times, and thats despite there being laws against knives.
    I could very well see this having occured: A dead dolphin's on the shore, possibly mangled by some sort of mechanical damage (hence the distorted appearance and entrails). Locals manage to convince some rich tourist to buy the head as a trophy (bc gods know rich people have gross macabre hobbies), chop off the head with readily available tools, and throw the remains in a pit. A 15-year-old boy with an interest in wildlife and a wild imagination sees the mangled carcass and don't immediately recognize it as a dolphin, and his fantasy sets off spinning.
