[edit] Beebe's monster

Appears to be a hoax. I can find absolutely no mention of this supposed animal on any sites apart from Wikipedia and its mirrors.[1] If it was truly "a prime example of cryptozoology turned zoology" then I'm sure it would have received a lot more attention.

• Delete Hoax. Hubbs' review of Half Mile Down was published after the fish was allegedly caught, so the story in the article doesn't make sense. [2]. Plus, I've read up on cryptozoology, and have never heard of this. Zagalejo^^^ 08:25, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete This certainly seems like a hoax to me, as well. "Monsters" of all sorts get lots of publicity. This one has none outside Wikipedia and its kin. For what it's worth, the original author, Proff. Sheffington, now apparently Prof. Sheffington, seems to have worked on little else other than this article.
