A mystery skull that resembles the skull of a "dragon" was discovered on a UK Beach. A user on the social news website Reddit published images of the unidentified creature's skull.
The user claimed to have found the enigmatic skull on Bridlington Beach in Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
People walk along an empty beach in Bridlington on the northeast coast of England on June 15, 2020, as some non-essential retailers reopen from their coronavirus shutdown.
Mysterious 'Dragon' Skull Found On UK Beach
Pictures of the strange find were posted on the r/CasualUK Reddit forum, where the uploader said it was found on Bridlington Beach in Yorkshire.
The skull appears to be taken directly from the American fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones in the photographs that have been posted.
"Found some kind of animal skull in the sand while on Bridlington beach! [Does] anyone know what this critter was?," the Redditor asked.
The odd-looking skull features an extended snout at the bottom and two sharp eyes at the top. Additionally, it featured ridges that resembled the mythological creature's eyes.

One person said (via Times Now News), "Dragon, those holes across the top are to vent the hot gases, so its head doesn't explode."
While some believed the skull belonged to a dragon, others hypothesized that it might instead be the remains of a mythical monster called a "wyvern," which is a winged serpent-like creature with two legs (unlike four-legged dragons).
"It's a gull pelvis," another one wrote.
Additionally, after Ellen Snyder, a wildlife scientist made a related discovery, the users shared her blog article, Spicebush Log.
Not The First Time To Find Mysterious Items in The Area
Ladbible pointed out this isn't the only eye-catching find on the coasts this year.
In May, a six-year-old child found a megalodon shark tooth three million years old.
Sammy Shelton, according to the Daily Mail, discovered the four-inch teeth while investigating Bawdsey Beach in Suffolk, which is known for being a popular location for fossil seekers.
Sammy's father, retired doctor Peter Shelton of Bradwell, Norfolk, claimed that his son now sleeps with the tooth next to his bed because he was so excited about his find.
He said that they found the megalodon teeth while searching for intriguing shells on the shore.
Peter further disclosed that Sammy had amused his classmates at school with the megalodon fossil and had even earned an explorer badge from his neighborhood Beavers group due to his great beach find.
That is one impressive show and tell, to be honest. I don't want to be the child that follows him.
Evolutionary researcher Ben Garrod informed the Great Yarmouth Mercury that Sammy was the first person to touch the tooth in over three million years.
