The remains of an unknown sea creature were spotted on a British shore. Experts are having difficulty identifying the animal.

Faceless Mysterious Sea Creature

A mysterious faceless sea beast as big as three women has left experts stumped after washing up on a British beach. While investigating rock pools at Hayburn Wyke, North Yorkshire, Caroline Pindar discovered the odd remnants. She said it was found in a far-off place you could only get to on foot.

There was a lot of foam between the rocks where the water had receded, indicating that there had been a strong storm. I questioned if the remnants were foam or washed-up fishing detritus from a distance because Pindar mentioned that this kind of pollution is common in this area.

"But as I got closer, it was obviously far too big," she said of the creature. "The remains were very decomposed, with bones protruding through the skin, and mounds of blubber to one side."

"The way it was hunched made it look as if the exposed bones were tusks, semi-walrus like."

The smell was reportedly very strong, with no head or tail. In her estimate, the creature was 16 feet long and about the size of three normal women lying top to toe.

The faceless Hulk's streaky white skin with a stringy texture peeks through where the bones are exposed. To obtain clarification, Caroline, 61, shared her images on a marine life-focused website, but the group's members couldn't agree on what Caroline had seen.

One person thought it was a walrus because of what seemed to be obvious tusks. Another person asserted that it was a minke whale and indicated the bones they thought came from the whale's left pectoral fin. Some said it looked like an overgrown dolphin.

UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme experts were also baffled by it and needed clarification about what the animal was. Project manager Rob Deaville admitted he found identifying the animal tricky. For him, the rotted remains belonged to a larger cetacean; considering its size, he was more inclined to believe it was a minke whale.

However, Deaville clarified that it was difficult to tell what it was as it had already been decomposed accurately. So, he called it "an unidentified or indeterminate-identity baleen whale?"

Bizarre Mermaid Globster Identified

It's not unusual to find strange creatures that wash ashore. In September, a mermaid globster was found on Simberi Island, a small volcanic island in the Bismarck Sea in Papua New Guinea's New Ireland Province.

Netizens were also torn about whether it was a dolphin, a sea cow, or a shark. Most of its skull and a vast portion of its skin were missing.

Erich Hoyt, a researcher at the UK's Whale and Dolphin Conservation charity, suggested it was a sea cow or a "long-dead dugong." Jens Currie, chief scientist of the Pacific Whale Foundation in Hawaii, echoed the same sentiment, adding that sea cows are common in the area. Also, the blubber was reportedly a giveaway that it was a marine mammal, not a shark.
