ON THIS DAY IN WEIRD


On This Day in Weird, June 12...

1983: 15-year-old Owen Burnham finds a strange carcass, resembling that of a prehistoric ichthyosaurus, stranded at Bungalow Beach, Republic of the Gambia, West Africa. While local fishermen call it a "dolphin," the animal measures 15 feet long, with a 2.5-foot beak containing 80 identical conical teeth. Cryptozoologists nickname the creature "Gambo."
