People in Southern California and online communities were shocked by a scary find on a beach. A horrible, unidentified sea creature washed up on beach, which led to a lot of speculation.
Many people on Reddit were sure that the creature was a moray eel because of the pictures and the fact that they were taken near Dana Point. A spokesman for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Tim Daly, confirmed that this was the right person.
Because it was breaking down, the eel looked swollen and its color was bleached. Moray eels live in shallow water and on reefs along the coast of Southern California. They are not a major threat unless they are roused.
Moray eels don’t bite, but their teeth are very sharp and they will if they feel threatened. People who go to the beach are told to be careful.
The online community had a great time figuring out what was going on, and Reddit was full of funny replies. The unusual sighting gave a one-of-a-kind look into the ocean’s varied and sometimes scary residents.
This strange event serves as a warning of the interesting and sometimes scary creatures that live below the waves.
