<h1>preface</h1>
Human exploration of the ocean is only a dime, so we can't make any assumptions about the unknown creatures in the ocean. Legend has it that in 1922 the carcass of a mysterious animal was found off the coast of South Africa, covered in long white hair, called the longhair, and later rumored to be the South African sea monster. No one knows what it is, and biologists can only speculate that it is a whale carcass.
<h1>The South African Sea Monster Incident of 1922</h1>
In 1922, a huge animal carcass suddenly appeared on the coast of South Africa, and the sea would rush up many corpses every day, but this one was different, this sea monster was covered with white hair, the shape was a bit like a snake, the body in the middle was very large, it was called the South African sea monster by many witnesses, also known as the long-haired fish, but unfortunately no one recorded this picture with a camera at that time, and then after ten days the South African sea monster disappeared.
At that time, no one knew what kind of creature it was, nor did it get the attention of the relevant authorities, so it was listed as an unidentified organism, and now biologists only rely on legends and similar events to speculate, the most likely of which is that the South African Sea Monster is actually a whale carcass, but there is another legend that this South African Sea Monster fought with two killer whales before it died.
<h1>South African sea monsters and killer whales</h1>
It is said that this South African sea monster fought two killer whales in his lifetime, fighting for three hours in one dozen, two, and was best at attacking killer whales with its tail, while jumping 20 feet out of the water. People have described this creature as a polar bear-like fish based on eyewitnesses. Then the creature's body was washed up on the beach and there was the South African sea monster we are talking about today.
According to eyewitness accounts, this South African sea monster used snow-white long hair, so it was also called a long-haired fish, and had a lobster-like tail. At that time, tourists also measured the South African sea monster, which was about 17 meters long, only 3 meters wide, and the long white hair was up to 20 centimeters long, but scientists did not find a creature similar to this description.
<h1>The South African Sea Monster is suspected to be whale carcasses</h1>
For the true face of the South African sea monster, there is a unique statement, that is, it is believed that this sea monster is actually the legendary longhair, the longhair has a body as large as a whale, the whole body is white hair, there is an elephant trunk, the tail is like a lobster tail, its body and hair and its eyes are more like wild boars, underwater activities.
There are already many explanations for the longhair. The most common explanation is that a mackerel is a whale carcass, or it could be a basking shark, or a whale shark. The surface of the carcass was decomposing and hairy, and two killer whales were sharing the carcass, which was mistaken by witnesses for a long-haired fish fighting the killer whale.
