Content

Woodley argues that long-necked sea serpents and merhorses could be explained by long-necked seals (in agreement with Heuvelmans), many-finned sea serpents by a large marine arthropleurid, many-humped sea serpents and super-otters by giant sea otters, marine saurians by archaeocetes similar to Basilosaurus and Rodhocetus, and super-eels by oversized oarfishes and frilled sharks.
