Leandra Visser posted the above photo on
Facebook
during her holiday at De Kelder near Cape Town, South Africa. Her
caption read, “Can someone please tell me what the hell this is? We
picked it up on the beach at De Kelder. It’s the real thing!!”
The weird looking creature is fish-like but with huge teeth and its head appears far too big for its tiny body.
According to the Afrikaans daily
Die Burger,
Visser denies that the image is a joke and the newspaper took it on
themselves to send the photo to the South African Institute for Aquatic
Biodiversity (SAIAB) in Grahamstown for verification.
The paper quotes Alan Whitfield, chief
SAIAB
scientist as saying that just because the creature was found on a
beach, does not necessarily mean it is a fish. Whitfield drew attention
to the fact that the creature in the image has no fins.
