The type II eel-like sea serpent is a Champagne type of sea serpent based on uncommon sightings from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, none recent. A 25' to 30' long animal distinguished from the other eel-like sea serpents by a tapering head and sometimes a dorsal crest, Bruce A. Champagne classifies it as a possible new species of beaked whale.[1] Dale A. Drinnon equates it with the scrag whale.[2]
