This skeleton was found some months ago in the jungle of Mazandaran but no one knows what this animal is and it sill remains a mystery for zoologists: http://www.farsnews.net/newstext.php?nn=8801311366

What do you think about it?

My guess is an alligator, etc.! It is obviously not fossilized, so it must be fairly fresh!

Very interesting, would like to keep track of follow-ups.

I don't know about the date, but it is believed this animal was alive in 2009, one of zoologists says that this skeleton seems to belong to a reptile, amphibian or even a bird but the form of its pelvis shows this is certainly a mammal.

Kanas_Krumesis mentioned in this thread  Caspian seal (They can be found not only along the shorelines, but also on the many rocky islands and floating blocks of ice that dot the Caspian Sea.):
 
 
Couldn't it be a caspian seal?

Cyrus if you can get the link in English I suggest sending it to George Noorey on coast to coast am radio. If you contact them they might do a show about it and maybe they already know about it- who knows???

http://www.coasttocoastam.com/pages/contact

If you pay $6 a month you can pick up their interesting shows on the internet from their streamlink, unless it is banned in Iran.

They do all kinds of shows from UFO, big foot, conspiracy, climate change, ghosts, terrorism and many other topics. I am going to pay for it since the show is on so late here and I fall asleep often while listening. My girlfriend threw cold water on me during one show because I asked her not to let me fall asleep. LOL

I have not still found anyting in English about it, you are right about the bone structure, that seems to be really different but I think this animal could be also a marine mammal.

It is one of those things that may become quite obvious to us when we see the full picture, but right now it is looking like a prehistoric animal.

It isn't complete.  The pelvis resembles a bears, and since the shoulders and skull are missing I'd opt for that one.  Only sticker is the construction on it's back, I really don't know enough about bears to say.

Ok, the problem seems to be solved, that is a Sus scrofa (Wild boar): http://www.gerayenazdik.blogfa.com/

 
But another zoologist says it can't be a wild boar mostly becuase its neck bones! Ermm However I don't see any difference!

Certainly we can't see the finer structure of the neck bones, but from where I am sitting it looks like a good match.

Looks like the skeleton of a camel to me.    Notice the elongated dorsal spines.  But the pelvis looks very similar to the boar.
