What is it? Experts believe the carcass could have been a killer whale or a pilot whale


'It's like nothing we have ever seen, it almost looks pre-historic,' he told the Sun.

Curled up by the foot of sand dunes was the 30ft-long body of the unidentified animal with head, tail and teeth all discernible.

Experts are now examining the pictures with one suggesting it could be the body of a whale.

Rob Deville, a marine life expert at London Zoo, said the body could be that of a killer whale or a smaller pilot whale.


Whale expert Mark Simmonds told the Sun: 'it died a long time ago and tides caused the body to wash ashore.'
