What In God’s Name Is This No-Eyed Sea Creature That Washed Onto A Texas Beach During Hurricane Harvey?

Experts claim we know more about the surface of the moon than our oceans here on earth. Less than 0.05 percent of the ocean floor has been mapped to a level of detail useful for detecting items such as airplane wreckage or the spires of undersea volcanic vents, Scientific American reports.

So, it’s more likely than not that there are otherworldly creatures lurking in the oceans that humans have not even imagined. A fang-toothed monster that washed up on a Texas beach in the wake of Hurricane Harvey has illuminated that possibility. Preeti Desai found the rotting corpse with NO EYES on a beach in Texas City, and asked Twitter for help in identifying the thing.

Biologist and eel specialist Dr. Kenneth Tighe eventually chimed in and believes the creature to be a fangtooth snake-eel. Ah, yes that was going to be my second guess behind Satan himself.

He said it may also be a garden or conger eel, because “all three of these species occur off Texas and have large fang-like teeth,” BBC reports.

The ocean is a terrifying place, man.
