Looks like a prehistoric crocodile. Not even saltwater crocs in Australia are this big! X_X

I'm actually more on board with the Orca theory, here.

While some of the features look more crocodile-like... there's considerable decay of the soft tissues. They've swolen, stretched, and become detached from the bone. That means the best methods for identifying it (other than by genetics) is skeletal and teeth.

Judging by that, I'd say the Orca theory is far more plausible than even a salt-water crocodile.

I just love the title 'monster'. How typical of people to label anything they haven't seen as monstrous.

I think it's pretty obviously a decayed killer whale. I assumed that even before the expert chimed in...

At first I thought it was a baby whale, but I don't think whales have teeth like that, or even teeth at all. Could be a killer whale. I doubt it's a dinosaur, its flesh is too intact.

no you don't get it, we say dinosaur as in, a species that lives to this day, there's one specie of crocodile that still lives today and is consider a dinosaur, plus there this other one in an unexplored jungle in Africa where near by villages have reported this long neck type of dinosaur, idk thing is 5% of the world's ocean is the only thing we've explored, who knows whats out there that has survived and adapted for millions of years

wasn't this already debunked to be a killer whale?
