The carcass of a dead sea creature which recently washed up on a Georgia beach is drawing parallels to the Loch Ness Monster.
Jeff Warren took pictures and video of the mysterious sea creature while out boating with his son around Wolf Island National Wildlife Refuge on Friday.
Warren told News 4 Jax that at first he thought the carcass was a dead seal when he saw a heron pecking at it.
But when they got closer, he saw that the dead creature more closely resembled a 'Loch Ness-type thing'.
With its long neck and small head, the animal has also drawn comparisons to the prehistoric Plesiosaur, an extinct species of large marine reptile.
Mr. Warren said the creature was about 4 to 5 feet long with two fins and has little teeth about one-eighth of an inch long.
Dan Ashe, the director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, told the outlet that sometimes basking sharks can begin to resemble Plesiosaurs as their bodies decompose.
