A Stuffy Sturgeon
Residents who found this animal tail washed-up on South Carolina’s Folly Beach in March 2012 may have felt like they were stuck in the Pirates of the Caribbean film. The truth might actually have been equally impressive: a local vet identified the thing as an Atlantic sturgeon, an ancient animal that could grow as long as 15 feet and weigh as much as 800 pounds.
Shark Teeth
Open wide! Scientists believe that this pointy mouthed creature may have inspired several mythological and folk tales about eerie underwater serpentine monsters. In actuality though, it’s a deep-sea kind of shark found near the Lakes Entrance off southeastern Victoria, Australia, in January 2015. Either way, maybe stay away from this guy.
