This pool is accessible to staff who actually wish to swim with Specimen 429. The pool is 50 feet deep, and 200 feet in length, and 80 feet in width, Specimen 429 is small but she requires large amounts of space. Water temperature is kept at a warm 80 degrees.

Appearance: It's a grey large water animal, about 9 feet in length (including tail), it has a large grey body, like the body of an prehistoric water reptile, but it doesn't have a long neck, and it doesn't have four flippers, it has only two in the front, and a long tail with a diamond shaped flipper at the end. It has skin like a dolphin and a playful personality like it. It has the head in the shape of a dog, and a noise like one as well with teeth like them, it doesn't have fur though and it swims like a dolphin. 

Origins: This animal was discovered washed up on a beach in Texas, USA, along a beach in between the Justin Hurst Wildlife Management Area, and the San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge, it was found by a young couple walking along the beach. Specimen 429 was lying like a beached whale on the edge of the water line, the water was just coming around her back. From the descriptions at the time, they said the eyes of the animal were full of sand, yet she didn't react, she was breathing heavily, and wasn't moving, her skin was shriveled and dry. When police arrived, the best they could do is transport it to the nearest aquarium, Sea Center Texas, a small Aquarium but the best place they could find expects on the sea. Upon further examination, they found it was a fresh water creature, and salt water was killing it. To this day, researchers at N.R.F Cryptid Containment don't know where she came from, or what she was doing washed up along a shore on the Gulf Of Mexico.
