Last week in Spain, the carcass of some type of sea creature was discovered washed up on a beach. At first glance, many simply believed it to be a sea monster –or at least something of that sort. After a few more observations, people believed it to be an oarfish (pictured above). But, thanks to three leading shark experts, the creature is now identified.
The Shark experts determined that the decomposed “thing” is a dead shark. Florida State University ichthyologist Dean Grubbs told NBC News, “That is definitely a shark skeleton. The elements toward the back were confusing me, but those are the lower caudal fin supports. The ‘horns’ are the scapulocoracoids, which support the pectoral fins.”
I can’t even begin to imagine the smell it would cause.
