I say we turn to the Alfster for more speculative evidence.

Q: Hey Alf, I was just wondering in Munch's Oddysee there is a huge skeleton bone in the Paramite Run stage, I was just wondering if you could clear that one up... There is no creature in Oddworld that big that I have seen yet... Is that Searex I have heard a little about ..

Alf: You are correct. It is a creature that you have not seen yet.

Reading it, it looks like Alf is confirming only that it is a creature we have not seen; however, that's not to say it isn't a Sea Rex.

A good observation, Raisin. In a past thread, someone theorised that the Sea Rex could have been hauled there by the Glukkons to keep the Scrabs and Paramite sustained, but we have been told many times that Sea Rexes are left alone by all. However, there's nothing to say the lake's drying up wasn't accelerated by artificial means, a la the Reservoir Row level, leaving the young Sea Rex stranded. There's also nothing to indicate Sea Rexes can't survive a reasonable time on land without suffocating.

EDIT: You beat me to it, sligster. If the creature were like a Sea Rex but land dwelling, that would make a more significant difference than simply being different races - different species or genera, possibly. But I get what you mean. However, two interesting notes:

1) If the creature was subdued, maybe it couldn't fight back - ie it was aquatic and stranded.

2) The skeleton doesn't have any feet. I know for Oddworld that doesn't mean much, but one would suspect and land creature to have something solid to support its weight.
