Curled up by the foot of sand dunes was the 30ft-long body of the unidentified animal with head, tail and teeth all discernible. Experts are now examining the pictures with one suggesting it could be the body of a whale.
A spokesman for the Natural History Museum said: 'We have spoken to one of our mammals curators, and they have confirmed the animal is probably a long-finned pilot whale – Globicephala melas.

Rob Deville, a marine life expert at London Zoo, said the body could be that of a killer whale or a smaller pilot whale. Whale expert Mark Simmonds told the Sun: 'it died a long time ago and tides caused the body to wash ashore.'
