Initial data
A video of a strange creature swimming near Police Island, South Carolina, has gone viral on social media. The footage shows how a dark oblong figure moves through the water, leaving a trail of bubbles. Some viewers suggest that it could be a shark, a dolphin, a sea lion or even a mythical beast.
The video was shot by Cody Kinzer, who visited the island with his family. He told WCNC that he saw this creature while walking along the pier and decided to record it on camera. He said he wasn't scared, but rather curious about what it was.
"I just thought it was a big fish," he said. "I didn't know what kind of fish it was, but I'd never seen anything like it before."
Kinzer posted the video on Facebook, where it quickly gained thousands of views and comments. Some have speculated that it could be a sturgeon, a large fish that can reach 12 feet in length and weigh more than 800 pounds. It is known that sturgeons live in the coastal waters of South Carolina and sometimes come to the surface.
However, others were not convinced by this explanation, and they proposed more exotic theories.
Some said it could have been a prehistoric creature, such as a plesiosaur or a mosasaur, that survived extinction and lived in the depths of the ocean. Others said it could be a cryptid, a mysterious animal whose existence has not been scientifically proven, such as the Loch Ness Monster or Champ.
One of the most popular assumptions was that it could be an alligator, a large freshwater fish with a long snout and sharp teeth. Alligator pikes are native to North America, can reach 10 feet in length and weigh more than 300 pounds. They are often mistaken for alligators or crocodiles because of their appearance.
However, it is unlikely that alligators can be found in salt water, as they prefer freshwater habitats such as rivers, lakes and swamps. They can tolerate brackish water, which is a mixture of fresh and salt water, but only for short periods of time. It is also known that they do not swim close to the surface and do not create bubbles like the creature in the video.
So what is this mysterious creature floating near Police Island? The answer may never be known for sure, unless someone manages to fix it or take a closer look. Until then, it remains a mystery that arouses curiosity and imagination among both locals and visitors.

A video (see below) of a strange creature swimming near Pawleys Island, South Carolina, has gone viral on social media. The footage shows a dark, elongated shape moving through the water, leaving a trail of bubbles behind it. Some viewers have speculated that it could be a shark, a dolphin, a sea lion, or even a mythical beast.

There are a huge number of different living organisms on our planet. According to recent estimates, the number of species of organisms on our planet is approximately 7-10 million. However, only 15% of the data are described today.
According to the calculations of Canadians, 2.2 million species live in the world's oceans, 6.5 million on land. There are only about 7.8 million species of animals on the planet, 611 thousand fungi, and 300 thousand plants.
