Unidentified Sea Creature Found After Typhoon Early on the morning of July 23, a fisherman from Ningbo City in east China's Zhejiang Province was shocked by the sight of a huge creature lying dead beside the seawall near his home. Liu, who lives in Yangshashan of Chunxiao Town in Beilun District and who has been a fisherman for over ten years, said "I have never seen such a monster; it was larger than a whale." It was first seen by villagers on July 20, according to Mei who breeds fish nearby, and is nearly 12 meters long and weighs around 2 tons, according to district sea and fishery bureau staff. The animal reportedly has a long thin head and a snout nearly one meter long. Partly rotten, with its spine exposed, it has been impossible to identify, but has been described as having some hair, and orange stripes across a three to four-meter wide belly. The skull, which alone weighs over 100 kg, and coccyx of the creature have fallen from its body. Mei said four young people took away a 100 kg piece of the corpse to study and many experts have come to inspect it, but all in vain. From the degree of putrefaction, the animal may have been dead for a week and beached by Typhoon Haitang several days ago, said Hu from Beilun's sea and fishery bureau. He said its overall structure means it's unlikely to be a fish, but the shape of its head is like a crocodile's. |

This isn't the first wierd ass sea creature that has been found over there. They aren't monsters, just something we haven't seen yet. Lots of deep water=lots of unseen species. |

I've seen other supposed sea monsters that were all rotting like that and those turned out to be basking sharks (or some shit like that). They seemed to have a long neck because the flesh had rotted away leaving only the spine. With no good pics and no pics of the skull I don't know if I buy it. |

Basking Shark i bet, being cartileginious they rot away leaving a small skinny looking 'head', quite common to be misidentified as a 'monster'. |

"Look at this amazing new creature we've found! Let's take a single picture from some weird angle that doesn't show you anything at all!" Lump of seaweed imo. |

What is so unbelievable is not that a sea creature was discovered, its that a chinese man only took ONE picture of it... You just know he was wearing some goofy hat, with seven different cameras hanging off his neck |
