<p>The mystery beast was discovered by conservation group the National Audubon Society who posted the startling snaps of the monster on social media.</p>
<p>The creature’s species still has not been confirmed although many experts believe it is a fangtooth snake-eel.</p>
<p>Preeti Desai, the National Audubon Society’s social media manager, spoke about finding the dead beast.</p>
<p>She said: &#8220;We were on a beach in Texas City and saw this thing from afar so I got closer to figure out what it was.</p>

<p>"I've already got a huge interest in wildlife, especially birds and ocean creatures, but it was so unexpected to see it there on the beach.</p>
<p>"On first glance it looked like something from the deep sea to me.</p>
<p>“My initial thought was it might be a sea lamprey but when I got close I realised there was no way that was what it was, particularly based on the mouth.</p>
<p>"We squished it around a bit, and even turned it over but couldn't come up with any other ideas."</p>
<p>After failing to identify the fish, Preeti posted the images on Twitter asking for help.</p>

<p>She said: "This is the kind of thing that's perfect for Twitter - there are so many scientists and researchers on the platform and they're very willing to jump in and figure out things like this.</p>
<p>"So I put the photos out there and the guesses started coming in. One of the first few guesses suggested some sort of eel.</p>
<p>"I mentally smacked my forehead, because once that was suggested I could absolutely see the eel shape.</p>
<p>"But when I think of an eel, I think of it in the ocean, hiding amongst coral or rocks, so I hadn't made the connection while I'd been on the beach."</p>
