ANIMALS: Querqueville Thing

On the grey coast of Normandy at Querqueville the sea last week cast up a monstrous thing. Fearsome enough in life, it lay now battered by waves & rocks, pecked by gulls, decomposed by death. It was 25 ft. long, about 5 ft. around and its bluish-grey skin was covered with what seemed like fine white hairs. What was left of its head, hung on a 3-ft. neck, looked like a camel's. What was left of its tail looked like a seal's. It was disemboweled. Rolling gently in the surf, its liver stretched out a full 15 ft.

Big as French...
