             <p><strong>TEXAS CITY, Texas</strong> - Photos of a mysterious sea creature that washed up on a Texas beach after Hurricane Harvey have gone viral.
                     <p>The photos were posted on <a href="https://twitter.com/preetalina/status/905578912348024834?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&amp;ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Fworld-us-canada-41256922" target="_blank">Twitter on Sept. 6 by Preeti Desai,</a> a social media manager at the National&nbsp;Audubon Society.
                                  <p>Desai captioned the photos by saying, &quot;Okay, biology twitter, what the heck is this?&quot;

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><p>Preeti said she spotted the creature on a beach about 15 miles outside Galveston.
                     <p>She traveled to Texas with other conservationists&nbsp;to assess the damage from the storm.
                     <p>The photos immediately went viral and garnered several responses from her followers and others on social media.&nbsp;
                     <p><a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41256922" target="_blank">Desai told BBC News</a> someone told her to contact<a href="http://vertebrates.si.edu/herps/herps_staff_pages/tighe-staff.cfm" target="_blank"> Kenneth Tighe, a museum specialist </a>who works in the Division of&nbsp; Amphibians and Reptiles at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
                     <p>Tighe said he believed the creature was a fangtooth snake-eel, or possibly a garden or conger eel, according to the BBC News article.&nbsp;
                     <p><a href="https://www.earthtouchnews.com/oceans/oceans/heres-an-id-on-this-fang-toothed-marine-mystery/" target="_blank">Tighe told Earth Touch News Network&nbsp;</a>those eel species occur off the Texas coast and live in burrows 100-300 feet down.
                     <p>Desai did not say how long or big the creature was but <a href="http://www.fishbase.org/summary/Aplatophis-chauliodus.html" target="_blank">according to Fishbase.org, </a>a male fangtooth snake-eel can reach a maximum total length of 84 centimeters.
                     <p>After taking the photos,&nbsp;Desai told BBC News that she left the creature alone to let nature take its course.
                     <p>She tweeted on Wednesday that the creature wasn&rsquo;t frightening, colossal or a monster, just a sea creature trying to live its life.&nbsp;
