A GIANT 55 foot 'sea monster' has been found washed up on a beach in China.
The beast from the deep is so badly decayed it cannot be identified.
But according to local reports from Guangdong, in the south-east of the country, it weighed at least 4.5 TONS.

The skin turned black coz of the sun.

I thought whale too. The strangest part of this story is why a bunch of Chinese people would stand around it and wonder what it was.

There are probably tons of such creatures living at the very extremes of our oceans.
