A 55 foot “sea monster,” weighing approximately 4.5 tons, has been found washed up on a beach in Guangdong, China, on Wednesday, Fox News reported.

The giant creature was found wrapped in fishing lines, and local officials believed that fishermen cut it free from their nets because it was too big to haul in.
