Amphibious women were cast by the sea near the coast of Germany, drifting ashore close to the town of Zingst. Krzyztoi Pakora, the head of the Marine Research Institute at the University of Texas, suspects that these are young female northern duck-billed whales, or duck-headed hair-whales, a rare marine mammal. If his hypothesis is confirmed, this would be the first instance of this cold- and depth-loving mammal, native to the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean, particularly the seas bordering the Arctic, being washed ashore in Germany. The duck-billed whales sometimes wander off, as they are explorers by nature, claims the scientist. In 2008, one was caught alive in Paris on the Seine, and in 2014, another was captured from the strait between Denmark and Sweden, but both quickly escaped. Unfortunately, there are no further details about this incident. We don't know where the footage was taken or if it is real. However, unconfirmed but reliable sources suggest that cloning attempts have already begun in order to breed this species, which has a distinctive appearance and is quite resilient.
