Is it another living fossil?
Judging by the "hair" on its crown...
it's a Jurassic Beatle!

"Looks like ambulocetas, the ancestor of all dolphins and whales."

That's about as close as I can come to figuring it out. I thought, a fake using a horse head, but no nostril holes and the teeth don't seem right. Rib cage too big for alligator. Long prominent spine indicates a creature that swims. Holy cow, about all that is left is ambulocetas.

Okay. I'm convinced. The sideview of the teeth match. The three little indentations below the front teeth also match. Do whales have hair?

From the look of it, I would guess that it's something that defrosted from a glacier that melted due to global warming.

In other words, it's Bush's fault.

Looks like a sea cow to me... An ancestor of modern manatees.

Yes, both skulls show a remarkable resemblance...as for the hair, several Freepers have noted that rotting blubber resembles hair.

Darn, I was hoping for a good old mystery myself.

The teeth look all wrong for a seacreature. At best it must only eat seaweed or other vegetation, there is no way those teeth are used for catching fish, or small crustaceans like shrimp. They are also not used to catch anything that moves very fast.

The teeth are more like those of a horse. )but the skull has no nostrils)

The teeth are all wrong for a whale. Whales have several layers of very sharp teeth to filter krill and shrimp.
