Shores aren't always in warm climates. Fishermen from the Newfoundland’s Bay of Islands were flummoxed with this critter – a 15-foot-long creature which was missing a head, but did have a 10-foot-long tail. Officials of Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans still haven’t identified this creature, even though it was first found in February of 2010.
