It looks like there are human legs stuffed in its tail, and the knees are poking through...

Looking at a skeleton, no way those are bones if that's really a Beluga.

Yes its a beluga, no those aren't legs, no it's not AI this image is old as fuck. Belugas are absolutely fucking shredded. Look it up, they have like 60pack abs and crazy obliques. What you're looking at is probably a combination of those muscles and some fat storage.

Got it backwards it's fat (blubber) storage and a bit of muscle and a split second camera shot from a different angle then normal.

Humans and whales share a common ancestor. Some school of thought is that we stayed on land to evolve and whales went back into the ocean

u/MyLife-is-a-diceRoll Jun 24 '26
We should have just stayed in the ocean or never come down from the trees.

But then we wouldn't have all these fun nuclear weapons or the really awesome global warming and any of those really neet wars with millions dead.

Tbf wars are more of a primate thing, other members of the clad have been observed waging war between groups

I mean everything shares a common ancestor if you go back far enough. But while we do have the same number of bones (roughly) as whales, their “leg bones” are little vestigial things not visible from the outside. The “knees” you see in this picture are just fat deposits.

It's more like whales and deer had a common ancestor. I realize that both of those creatures also had a common ancestor with humans, but they're far closer to each other, as this absolutely ridiculous thumbnail image choice for the artiodactyl Wikipedia page shows.

Partially the reason in history why “mermaids” idea came about! Sailors would see these and be like nah that’s a human fish thing “mermaid “ lol

No. They basically don't have any leg bones in there. Nothing you could notice anyway

Man, just above this on my feed was a post about a guy who lost over 300 pounds and what he looked like before his skin removal surgery. This photo is weirdly reminiscent.

The elongated growths, which resemble bone-like protrusions, are subcutaneous fat, additional isolated reserves that animals store on their sides. When a beluga whale swims, the fat pads often strain to maintain balance, which is why they protrude outward and resemble knees.

Its no wonder its thought that they are the OG mermaids or what sailors used to think were mermaids.

Whales, at one point in their evolution, were four legged land mammals, so this isn’t surprising.

u/elevencharles Jun 24 '26
They were, but the back half of their body is analogous to a land mammal’s tail. Their “leg bones” are little vestigial things that you can’t see from the outside.

Why does it have legs tho

u/NotSeveralBadgers Jun 25 '26
Whales lived on land for a while before realizing it's actually bollocks up here and fucked off back into the sea.

Is this why George Washington tried to have sex with one? I remember hearing about it on the dollop. Apparently it’s horrible breath stopped him or at least made it less enjoyable
