Strange Creature filmed in a pond in Lithuania - Mar 6, 2014

The simple explanation is usually correct... its a hot spring, and there is some slimy moldy bacteria or something growing just under the mud. The pressure from the spring underneath the slime causes the slime to blow up like a balloon and inflate, deflate causing that funky effect. Since its exactly in the center of the ice hole, that would indicate that the hot water is flowing from under the orange stuff.

It could also be mooch Obama bit I think the former is more likely.

Early last fall, we were messing around the edge of Wethersfield Cove...a fresh water body of water, and found a strange mass; turns out it was a Bryozoan colony. Freaky.

Well, this is where you are supposed to poke it with a stick.

Yulk...here's another interesting shot of the largest jellyfish in the world, how would you like to find that on the shoreline!

I dunno much about wintering koi/goldfish over the winter....but I have a friend who has to keep her koi pond open with a hole so the critters can survive the ice-over.

Well, this is where you are supposed to poke it with a stick.

And then it grabs the stick from you and beats the hell out of you with it.

Yikes! We had our share of jellyfish encounters this past summer. MY GD was stung...and we now carry our own homemade jellyfish sting first-aid kit in the car.

Wow! That’s pretty amazing...15 different changes they said... always interesting seeing creatures you’ve not known about before..this was new to me..thanks!

[Daffynition]

LOL. Fer sure!

[TigersEye]

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.

"What the Hell is that?"

My first thought is that is a warm spring. 1) Open, unfrozen water, 2) a frog swimming by, and the redness is just a thicker muck or mud, as someone else pointed out, possibly algae (although, I thought algae only bloomed in stagnant, still water. It’s just a heavy muck that doesn’t silt around like lighter material; and 3) the fact that its activity is constant, like a hot spring you would see in yellowstone. The motion reminds me very much of that activity.

Add to that, the guy holding out his hand as if feeling the warmth of the spring, tells me it’s no creature.

I saw a frog cruise by. I’m guessing its a warm spring

Correct. The reddish hue is probably due to what is called "bog iron." When you have an iron rich environment in a reducing environment as in an a bog you will have mineral laden fluid that then oxidizes when it gets close to the surface and give that exact color as in the video. What we have in the video is a warm spring that is laden with bog iron and oxidizing as it gets near the surface.

I thought the same thing..... but there is no *steam* coming from the edges where there is ice and snow.

In addition....in the glimpses you see of the dog...he looks like he could be a black Lab...and there is no way you'd keep a Lab out of that water, unless it is *hot*.

And there are no monkeys

[Daffynition]

HAHAHA!

That’s very strange. At first I thought it was some sort of anemone, but it doesn’t move like an anemone.
