But is it all it appears?
Photographs of the creature appeared on social networking site last night (Wednesday).
It's lifeless body had been washed ashore at Happisburgh beach, on the north Norfolk coast.
Account holder Manda (@Norfolktoo) appealed to @Sharkbywatchuk and @SharkTrustUK for help to identify it.
However, it was later found to be a harbour porpoise.
