Mystery creature washes ashore in Maine

SCARBOROUGH, Maine -- Something strange and unusual washed ashore on a beach in Maine this week and no one seems to know what it is.

Take a look at...whatever this is.

Beachgoers in Scarborough said it washed up Thursday morning, July 19.

The nonprofit "Marine Mammals of Maine" say it's likely a shark -- but that it's too badly decomposed to properly identify it.

The creature was about 15 feet long.

Crews have since cleaned up the carcass from the beach.
