Home > News Shots > Fun FactsA strange and mysterious looking 15-foot creature was found on the beach that has left locals and social media stunned. The creature was spotted on Merseyside beach in Liverpool.
As per Liverpool Echo, a man, found the "smelly" carcass on Ainsdale beach on July 29. "It had four flippers which made it look the most weird. And it was furry. It was approximately 15ft long and had bones sticking out everywhere, approximately four feet long some of them. Stunk too," the man said.
"It looked like it had an extra thing attached to it, maybe it was giving birth and died?" the man added.
These bizarre-looking photos of the creature went viral after being posted on the Ainsdale Community Group on Facebook. In the photos, the huge creature can be seen lying on the sand.
Ever since it has gone viral, the photos have collected over 500 comments while many are trying to guess what the creature could be. Some called it - "A woolly mammoth?" while others said: "Yes I'm aware they're extinct but honestly what it looks like to me!"
As per The Sun report, Stephen Ayliffe, Senior Advisor at Natural England, said that the animal's identity remained unconfirmed. "We can confirm that an animal in a poorly decomposed state has washed up on Ainsdale beach, and whilst the identification of the animal is unconfirmed, it appears to be a species of whale," he said.
"We are working with an animal removal company to have the animal's remains removed from the beach as soon as possible," he added.
