Need a scale in the pictures. The pictures make it look like a behemoth but the fangtoothed snake eel maxes out at about 3 feet long. Is that white straight item next to it a drinking straw or something equivalent in length?
Yes, that is a drinking straw..................
Texas city is almost 100% fine, sandy beach soil -- very little rock. There's not a rock, clay clump, or shell on that beach as big as your fist.
The footprint nails the scale down pretty well. IMO, It's the "Monster" hype that makes the mind try to see the dead critter as huge...
