A ‘leg’ found on a Donegal beach over the Christmas holidays is suspected to be partial remains of a sea creature.
Gardai have confirmed they were called when the remains was found by a walker at Ballyliffin on December 27th.
A man was left stunned while walking his dog when the pet retrieved what initially looked like a human leg.
The distressed man contacted Gardai who immediately launched an investigation.
A Garda spokesperson told Donegal Daily “Gardaí responded to reports of a discovery of partial remains on Lisfannon Beach on Monday 27th December 2021.
“The remains were removed by An Garda Síochána and the county coroner was notified. The services of a forensic anthropologist were also engaged.”
However, after initial tests it is now thought likely that the remains are that of a aquatic animal, possibly a walrus.
