A mysterious sea creature has washed up onshore in Villaricos, Spain, leaving everyone scratching their heads. A woman found the decomposing carcass on the beach early Thursday, according to a report on ThinkSpain.com.
“A lady found one part and we helped her retrieve the rest,” said Maria Sanches of Civil Protection in Cuevas. “We have no idea what it was. It really stank.” The carcass sprouts shattered bones (which some mistook for horns) on one end and is about 13 feet long.
Photos of the “sea monster” are going viral on social networks and making headlines all over the world. Some speculate humorously that the creature is a distant relative to the Loch Ness Monster.
Others believe the carcass is an Oarfish.
“It’s hard to know what we’re dealing with,” Marina-Sea Life Defense spokesman Paco Toledano told Ideal.es Ameria. “It’s very decomposed and we cannot identify what it is.
“Perhaps we could learn something more from the bones, but to be precise, it would be necessary to perform a genetic analysis, which is very expensive and who would pay for it?
“Anyway, we have submitted the information to colleagues with more experience and knowledge to see if they can tell us something more specific.”
Looks like an oar fish on steroids.
Spooky

Hi Earwig, welcome to the blog. My first thought was it’s the mythical Lochness monster. But then I thought it was a long way from home.

Thank You. Yeah Nessie wouldnt be in Spain
I love Earths mysteries.
Just made it home, started reading this story. Couldn’t make it past “it really stank,” left that site to come here.
Let me get SR and her readers professional take on this.
Yt people will touch anthing
If it is a mysterious creature, we’ll never know. The story would only be filed away, never to be heard from again just like the montauk creature and various others.
I cried at “it really stank”
I lowkey thought it was a Lochness too Sandra!!
It has already been confirmed by Dean Grubbs an ichthyologist at Florida State that this is a deceased shark. The errant bones that looked like horns are actually the pectoral bones from a sharks behind. It has been cooking in the beach’s hot sand which is why it stank and looks deteriorated beyond recognition. So yeah…
*plugs nose*
Its prolly a big fish..a shark perhaps. There are hundreds and most of them dont look like Jaws.
I smell it tho.
Ugh.
