A BATMAN FISH? real or fake?

Hey guys, Bill here. Doing this show I have seen tons of weird looking sea creatures, but nothing like this.

It was sent in by Alex Cox and it’s called “very strange fish in Marsa Matrouh, Egypt.” It was posted by Ahmed Khalifa and shows what looks like a bat gone swimming. It looks and sounds like it was recorded at a beach. But is this thing really a living creature? Or is this video really some batman fan playing with us. That’s what Alex wants to know.

When I went out searching for the truth about this thing, there was another video that came to mind. It was the one where a guy was claimed to being chased by a stingray.

Well, as you might recall this turned out to be a complete fake. It was really the shadow of a kite the man was running from.

Now, as far as this one goes, this could easily be done with a piece of black cloth and some fishing line. And it wouldn’t take a lot of skill to pull it off. So, I have some serious suspicions about this video.

I posted it on my facebook page where some of my best “real or fake” detectives like to hang out. And it was there, I got the real answer which I have right here.

Ok, now before I open this envelope, you know what you have to do, don’t you? You have to yell out your answer, as loud as you can… either real or fake. Ok, you ready. And go.

Ok, now that we know where you stand, lets see what we have right here.

THE ANSWER :

The video of the black sea creature has been has been examined… With the help of numerous viewers on Facebook, it has been determined to be… Firmly on the side of, a living organism, and therefor…. REAL

Thanks to my Facebook crew members like Yoni Cohen, Albert Frances, and Timothy Aruta, this thing was indentified as a Mottled Sea Hare!

The Mottled Sea Hare is a form of sea slug with a complicated scientific name, but is confirmed to exist in both the Red Sea and the Mediterranean which are the two oceans that touch Egypt. It grows to be about 40cm long or about 15 inches. It usually hides during the day and eats seaweed at night. Like Octopus, these little guys release clouds of ink when threatened.

I want to thank Alex for submitting this video. I’m going to leave a link to the original in the description box. And remember, if you have a picture or video you aren’t sure wether it is real or not, send it over to me at [email protected] and I will take a look.
