6. The New Zealand Monster\r
There was a storm that occurred back in New Zealand in the month of May new. It was this storm that helped wash ashore this terrifying-looking creature. Local residents happened to make the find on the Pukehina Beach and they believed this was some prehistoric monster that was swept from the oceans depths and dropped on their doorsteps. This decaying mass was measured at being 29 feet long. Marine experts, like Anton Van Helden, were the first to state that they believed the body was a dead orca whale based on the flippers and teeth. However, many still believe that this could be something far greater than a simple orca.\r

5. Mystery Creature\r
This weird-looking creature that looks much like some sort of dragon-type animal was filmed in a cave by a young boy whose location is somewhere in Asia. Its ually an animal thats called an Olm, a type of aquatic salamander thats native to Europe and lives completely submerged in water, unlike other amphibians. In the minute and seventeen-second long video, the olm is seen swimming in shallow waters while maneuvering through the small stream of water filled with rocks by using its acute sense of smell and hearing since their eyesight doesnt develop in the dark cave, leaving them blind.. It has two sets of legs that it uses to swim and could easily measure out to be somewhere between 2 to 3 feet, give or take. Its also been called the “human fish” because of how their skin closely resembles the color of caucasian peoples skin. \r

4. The Canvey Island Monster \r
This was the name given to the strange beast that washed up on the shore of Canvey Island, Britain back in 1953 and a year later in August there was another carcass that was even more well int. The description of the beast was given as being 2 feet long, bulging eyes and gills, and reddish brown skin. It was also noted that this animal had five toes on its hind legs that were shaped like horseshoes and had concave arches, implying that it walked on two legs.\r
It was cremated and samples from the 1954 specimen were taken but never identified. It was believed that this creature could have been a type of frogfish or anglerfish whose fins could have been mistaken for feet.\r

3. The Roch Ness Monster\r
This serpent-looking creature was discovered on the banks of Hollingworth Lake in Rochdale, Greater Manchester back in August of last year. It got its name as a play on the sea monster that is said to inhabit Scotlands Loch Ness. Locals spotted the creature near the edge of the water and reported that it had a wide mouth set with razor sharp teeth and was 3 feet long. It hasnt been identified yet, but researchers believe it to be some form of pike.\r

2. The Beast Of Tenby\r
This beast seems to have the appearance of many different animals all combined into one. The Beast of Tenby, as it was dubbed, was discovered by 27-year-old Peter Bailey in Tenby in Wales back in new. Bailey stated he was walking his dog when suddenly she began toout and he soon discovered she had found this grotesque-looking carcass. At first, he believed the animal to be a horse, but then he soon realized this animal had a body that resembled a pig and claws like that of a bear. He posted a photo he took on to his Facebook and it soon went viral. The top theories from several animal experts and that of Dr. Dan Forman, a Professor from the Swansea University College of Science, claim that this creature seems to be either a badger or some type of dog, though no official conclusion has yet to be given.\r

1. The Zuiyo-maru Carcass\r
This happens to be the most famous, yet controversial, glob that has been discovered so far. This creatures carcass was found back in 1977 off the coast of New Zealand by a Japanese trawler that had captured it in its fishing net. It was then given the nickname Nyū Nesshii, translated as New Nessie. It easily resembles that of a prehistoric plesiosaur, what with its four large fins and long neck and tail which is what gathered it so much attention. It was eventually tossed back into the ocean since the fisherman believed it would spoil the rest of their catch, but not before photos and tissue samples were taken. Japanese vessels tried to reclaim the carcass but it was never recovered. It was recorded at being 32 feet in length and weighing in at almost two tons. However, many others claim to believe that this was nothing more than a basking shark that had lost its lower jaw, dorsal, and tail fin due to the severe stage of decomposition that it was found in
