MYSTERIOUS SEA MONSTERS
A gigantic sea beast measuring 55ft was discovered washed up on a beach in Guangdong, China in 2011.
It was found wrapped in fishing lines, leading locals to suspect that fishermen cut it free from their nets because it was too big to haul in.
It was thought to have weighed around 4.5tons.
Marine experts claimed it is likely to have come from a whale.
Mysterious masses of marine flesh have also occasionally washed ashore on beaches around the world.

Suggestions as to what the creature could be include a saltwater crocodile, a giant moray eel, a dolphin or a dinosaur.
Photos of the animal have been sent to the New Zealand Department of Conservation and Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium for identification.
