After a powerful storm in the Sea of Azov, fishermen of the village of Semibalki pulled out of their nets a strange two-meter creature that looks like a shark, but not a shark (there are no sharks in the Sea of Azov). 

Men have never seen such a creature in their lives. The strange entity made strange squeaking sounds and rolled its eyes. The unusual catch was captured on a mobile phone (the picture is not obuplicated). 

Its strange head, smooth scaly body and long tail are clearly visible. The body is very shiny; obviously covered with something greasy or waxy. The weight of the strange creature was about 100 kilograms. However, to the horror of scientists and UFO researchers, the fishermen of the village were not afraid of the strange "fish" and ate it (!). They claimed that it was very tasty.

 Experts on life in the ocean who saw the film claim that the animal was very similar to the sturgeon, although it "mutated".

 Andrey Grodovoy, the head of the "Service of Anomalous phenomena" from the city of Azov, commented that the creature may have been a "mermaid". There are many legends about mermaids in the Sea of Azov, but this has never been confirmed.

Time: daytime
After a powerful storm in the Sea of Azov fishermen from the village of Semibalki pulled from their nets a strange 2-meter tall creature, similar to a shark, but not a shark (there are no sharks in the Sea of Azov). The men had never seen such a creature in their lives. The strange entity emitted strange squeaking sounds and rotated its eyes. The unusual catch was filmed using a mobile phone. Its strange head, smooth scaly body and its long tail are clearly seen. The body is very shiny; apparently covered by something greasy or waxy. The weight of the strange creature was about 100kilograms. However to the dismay of scientists and UFO researchers alike the fishermen of the village were not afraid of the strange “fish” and ate it (!). They claimed it was very tasty. Ocean life experts who saw the film claim that the animal was very similar to a sturgeon, albeit a “mutated” one. Andrey Grodovoi head of the “Service of anomalous phenomena” from the town of Azov commented that the creature was possibly a “mermaid”. Legends about mermaids in the Sea of Azov abound but this has never been confirmed.
