Discovered in its late decomposition stage, the said sea monster was around 4 to 5 meters in length and apparently has horns.

"A lady found one and we helped her retrieve the rest," Maria Sanches of Civil Protection in Cuevas said.  "We have no idea what it was. It really stank."

Due to the foul smell the decomposing remains produced, it had to be buried for safety and health issues.

Spanish locales were intrigued and left wondering if it was a preternatural sea creature from the depths of the sea that reached their place. The experts were also confounded with identity of the said creature though they had already formulated theories ranging from an oar fish to the remains of a shark.

Paco Toledano, the spokesman of PROMAR Sea Life Defence Program was also puzzled.

"It’s hard to know what we are dealing with," he said. "It’s very decomposed and we cannot identify what it is."

Toledano added that they had already sent information about the said remains to the experts in order to facilitate the identification of the creature.
