The British Macy's River has found a "monster" with thorns, and experts say: It is impossible to determine its species

The world is big, there are no wonders. In the Liverpool area of The United Kingdom, a cleaner once found a monster covered with spikes next to the garbage heap, and its appearance also stumped many biological experts. What exactly is the variety of monsters? Why does it appear next to the garbage dump? If you want to know, let Xiaobian reveal the secret for you:

The city of Liverpool, a port city in the northwest of England, belongs to one of the eight core cities in England, with a population of about 520,000. As one of the five municipalities of the Metropolitan County on the Banks of the Mersey, Liverpool once won the title of Britain's famous "manufacturing center" by virtue of its vast hinterland. Liverpool has a well-developed water system, and the mouth of the famous River Macy's River in the United Kingdom is located here, with a total length of about 112 kilometers. In order to maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the urban environment, the British government allocates a huge amount of money to clean up the Macy's River every year to ensure that there is no floating domestic and industrial waste on the river.

Sean Hall is a government cleaner who specializes in cleaning up garbage in the waters of the Macy's River, and he is conscientious and never sloppy, so he is often commended by the government. On this day, Sean Hall came to the banks of the Macy River as usual, ready to start the day. But just as he was scratching a large pile of water surface garbage with a scratching hook, a large piece of "meat ball" suddenly fell at his feet. At first, Sean Hall thought it was a seal trapped in the river, which was connected to the sea and was frequented by seals. However, when he looked closely, he found that the "meat ball" in front of him did not seem to be simple, it looked much smaller than the seal, and the shape was completely different from the seal.

Curious, Sean Hall tried to stab the monster a few times with the stick in his hand, and found that it was already dead, and even had a foul smell on his body. Although Sean Hall didn't know what the monster in front of him was? But because of its strange appearance, he found a plastic film and wrapped the monster in a garbage truck. It wasn't until the end of the work that Sean Hall sent the monster to a nearby animal agency for biological species identification by biological experts.

The biological experts warmly received Sean Hall and made a careful observation and identification of the monsters it brought. From the overall observation, the monster in front of it resembles a fish, with a gray-black body, an eye and a protruding snout on its head, and a decaying jaw. It is worth mentioning that the monster itself does not have fins and does not have "feet" similar to a seal-like creature, so the way the creature moves becomes a mystery.

It is worth mentioning that biologists have also noticed that the monster's originally slippery body actually grows a few clumps of hard hair. These hairs are prickly and firm, similar to the hard spines on sea urchins of sea creatures.

For the type of monster, many biologists began to study it, and gave their own guesses. Some experts believe that the monster in front of it is likely to be a land creature, and the spikes on its body should be used for defense. Animals of similar species also exist, such as hedgehogs, porcupines, etc., and their spikes are designed to avoid predators.

However, this view was immediately opposed by other experts, who believed that hedgehogs and porcupines living on land, although they would use spikes for defense, but the thorns on their bodies were sharp and hard, while the monster's thorns were softer, and the mouths of ordinary carnivores could withstand this stimulation. At the same time, these experts suggest that according to the location of the strange fish and its physical characteristics, they are likely to come from the ocean. As we all know, there are many kinds of marine life, and there are many creatures with thorns on the body, such as the sea urchin, the stinging dolphin, the lionfish and so on.

From a rational point of view, the monster itself has no fins and no feet, and its movement speed on land is necessarily not high, but it is completely different in the ocean. Some marine organisms can spray water jets and swim by reaction forces, such as octopuses, cuttlefish and so on. Because of this, monsters can swim in the ocean and rely on their own thorns for defense, specializing in foraging for some low-level creatures to survive.

According to scientific measurements, the total area of the ocean on the earth is about 360 million square kilometers, accounting for about 71% of the earth's surface area, and the water volume accounts for 97% of the total water volume, while the types of marine species known to mankind are not even 1% of the total species. Because of this, Xiaobian still hopes that marine biologists can explore and study as soon as possible, and finally uncover all the mysteries hidden in this monster.
