									<p>A mysterious sea monster washed up on a beach in Texas with its fangs bared has baffled experts in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.</p>
<p>The huge creature was found decaying on a beach in Texas City after the storm cleared.</p>
<p>But conservationists have no idea what it is, with some suggesting it might be a massive eel.</p>
<p>Eye-catching pictures of the creature have been widely shared after they were posted by a member of conservation group the National Audubon Society, which discovered the bizarre beast.</p>
<p>The group&#8217;s social media manager, Preeti Desai, said: &#8220;I was out on the Texas coast after Hurricane Harvey, assessing sites to see how they&#8217;d fared after the storm with a team of folks from Audubon Texas.</p>
<p>&#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>&#8220;I&#8217;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>&#8220;On first glance it looked like something from the deep sea to me. My initial thought was it might be a sea lamprey but when I got close I realized there was no way that was what it was, particularly based on the mouth.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone  wp-image-652" src="http://sharedelite.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/AArRV6Z-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="422" height="280" srcset="http://sharedelite.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/AArRV6Z-300x199.jpg 300w, http://sharedelite.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/AArRV6Z-696x463.jpg 696w, http://sharedelite.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/AArRV6Z-632x420.jpg 632w, http://sharedelite.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/AArRV6Z.jpg 728w" sizes="(max-width: 422px) 100vw, 422px" /></p>
<p>&#8220;We squished it around a bit, and even turned it over but couldn&#8217;t come up with any other ideas.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a bid to identify the enigmatic critter, Ms Desai turned to Twitter, where biologists suggested it might be some kind of eel.</p>
<p>She said: &#8220;This is the kind of thing that&#8217;s perfect for Twitter &#8211; there are so many scientists and researchers on the platform and they&#8217;re very willing to jump in and figure out things like this.</p>
<p>&#8220;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>&#8220;I mentally smacked my forehead, because once that was suggested I could absolutely see the eel shape.</p>
<p>&#8220;But when I think of an eel, I think of it in the ocean, hiding amongst coral or rocks, so I hadn&#8217;t made the connection while I&#8217;d been on the beach.&#8221;</p>
<p>And while nobody can be sure exactly what the creature was, Dr Kenneth Tighe of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History thinks it could be a fangtooth snake-eel.</p>
<p>Also known as the tusky eel, it&#8217;s a species native to the Gulf of Mexico which lurks in the deep and devours bony fish and crustaceans.</p>
