Creatures from the Deep
Where do they come from and is someone draining a swamp? They have been spotted washing up on shores around the world and they look like something from a horror movie, but they are apparently real. The creature pictured in the link below was reported to have washed up on a Welsh beach and looks like it has been dead a long time. I am not a marine biologist nor am I qualified to make any educated assessment, apart from the fact that I have seen a number reports over the years of ghastly looking sea creatures washing up and startling the public.
"When you look at it the first time you may think it is a crocodile, but it is certainly not," said Swansea University expert Dan Forman.
Other reports
You may have seen the reports on the news before or read about them in the newspapers, and if not, I have listed a few I'd found on the web. The only pattern I see, is that the creatures look as though they are in the latter stages of decomposition when found, although possibly not in all cases, but in a good number. I just find it fascinating, that a beached creature like this doesn't get seen earlier, so we could ascertain a greater understanding of what these creatures would have looked like alive. There might even be a rational explanation for these sightings and what they actually are, but I will have to look further to find those answers.

Don't look down
It's pretty scary when you think about what's in those big wide unexplored oceans out there. What really lurks beneath the hulls of ships and boats? What really passes underneath the bellies of swimmers and surfboards, someone knows, but it ain't me.
Thanks for taking the time to view this post.
