A bizarre long-necked creature thought to resemble Scotland's Loch Ness monster has washed up on a beach in America.
Jeff Warren was out with his son when they thought they came across a heron feasting on a dead seal.
But as they got closer they saw that the animal was something they didn't recognise.
It was about five-foot in length with teeth and fins and was discovered on the sand at Wolf Island in Georgia.
The video was uploaded to YouTube channel ModernGalaxy yesterday and many viewers have made the comparison to the Scottish urban legend.

One viewer said: “I knew The Loch Ness Monster was real.
"There is a lot of ocean and tunnels leading to lakes, but only small percentage is explored.”
Another simply added: “Loch Ness Monsters are real.”
According to First Coast News in the US, Mr Warren said he went to Skipper’s Fish House after spotting the creature.
He said the locals told him of the area's legend named “Alty,” or Altahama - their own version of the Loch Ness Monster, in the area.
The creature is used in advertisements for Darien, Georgia, possibly as a means to attract people to the area.
