Hurricane "Harvey" washed up on the beach Texas city preobrazenie, eyeless, toothy creature

Toothy unidentified sea creature washed up on the beach Texas city after hurricane "Harvey". The remains of the creatures were discovered by a resident of the city Preeti Desai from the National Audubon society (environmental organization), which has posted pictures on his Twitter account and asked if anyone knows what that creature is.

It was last week and since then the photos were viewed hundreds of thousands of people, including marine biologists. Some were convinced that it was some unknown fish, others have suggested that the so-called saber-toothed eel (Aplatophis chauliodus).

This eel usually lives at depths from 60 to 90 meters, but the strong waves from a hurricane could throw it into shallow water and then on shore. But the photos of the remains do not see his eyes, the creature from the beach seems to be completely blind. Biologists on questions about the eye said that eyes can not see, because the carcass is already in the stage of strong decomposition (though its "face" part seems more dry than corrupt).

Dr. Kenneth tai from the Smithsonian national Museum also considers that it may be a saber-toothed eel, but admits that the beach would throw out a different kind of eels, for example Bathyuroconger vicinus or Xenomystax congroides, is also famous for its sinister sharp teeth.
