An unknown creature managed to be filmed at one of the resorts in the UK. Biologists have not yet decided what kind of animal it was.  The monster floating in the North Sea was captured on camera by a resident of London, Rebecca Clark, who was visiting friends in the resort town of Lincolnshire last weekend.

The footage shows several fins emerging from the water a few meters from the shore. Not far from the monster, children are swimming in shallow water. An unknown person behind the scenes is trying to warn them that a giant shark has appeared in the water.

The author of the video at first thought that garbage was floating on the surface, but then she realized that it was a living creature.

"It may seem silly, but I thought it looked like a reptile — a crocodile or a dragon," Clarke said.

Some of those who watched the video on YouTube compared the mysterious creature to the inhabitant of Loch Ness. Experts, however, put forward a more trivial explanation. According to John Irving, a member of the Royal National Water Rescue Society, a giant shark, or killer whale, was caught on video.

Senior biologist Mark Williams from the National Aquarium in Portsmouth suggested that two sharks were captured on the video at once. According to him, these animals with a length of more than 5 m, as a rule, do not live in the Lincolnshire area, but in summer they can swim there.

"We have recently observed the flowering of plankton, which serves as food for them, which creates ideal conditions for these giants," he said. And he added that similar sharks were filmed at the beginning of the year off the coast of Norfolk.
