Possible non-organic sources aside, it appears that some scientists think the [Bloop](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop), or maybe even some of the other mystery sounds listed, might come from an animal(s). Anyone know what sort/variation of creature they think it might be? How big would it have to be?
