Goat-Dog-Buffalo-Sea Lion

David W. Black has made his living for 16 years by collecting fossils and sea creatures, and never in all that time had he seen anything like the rotting monster he dug out of the sands of Copalis Beach, near Seattle. Neither had any of the people who flocked to inspect it last week. All they could think of was sea serpent. It was eight feet long, weighed about 1,300 Ib. It had a head like a goat's, but much larger; teeth like a dog's; a body which began like a buffalo's and tapered off like a sea lion's, with two four-toed feet at the rear. Beneath its tough, oily skin were 16 ribs attaching its backbone to a hard breastplate.

Without waiting for a scientific verdict on his find, David Black sliced it in three, carted the pieces to a nearby farm, began dickering with cinema companies.
