A strange object has been seen floating down the river Ouse in York earlier this week, and it has been causing quite on social media – with many thinking it looks like a shark.
Shame they just missed out on the Christmas market.
In the video, viewers can see an object floating down the river Ouse, near Kings Staith. The group behind the camera can be overheard saying that “There’s a shark in the water.”
“It’s not paper mache, it’s the Loch Ness Monster in Yorkshire!”
@haristyler SHARK SPOTTED IN YORK!!! #lochnessmonster #york #shark #fyp
In the comments of the video, the top contenders for the sharks’ species are an Epaulette shark, or a Basking Shark.
Other comments under the video suggest several options for the identity of the floating object, with commenters suggesting a multitude of objects from paper mache, driftwood, or even a log that just happens to look like a shark.
Whatever this mysterious creature is, it seems to have caught the eye and heart of York, for its brief time in the city.
