Most of us are familiar with the notion that only 10% of Earth’s oceans have been fully explored by man. While scientists are out exploring our oceans depths every day, there is still much we don’t know…including all of the various creatures that call salt and fresh water home. Every once in a while, an individual will be at the right place at the right time and photograph something that science has yet to properly identify. Here are five of those creatures that have made headlines and remain a mystery to this day. Let’s begin…

5) The Hook Island Monster

In 1964, media all over the world began to blow up because of a photograph that surfaced from Australia. The photo showed a small boat next to a large, serpentine-like unidentified sea creature. Said creature was eighty feet long, and had an appearance that was compared to a tadpole. The Le Serrec family, who encountered the creature, described it as being most black with inverted brown stripes. Robert Le Serrec assumed that the creature was either dead or fatally wounded because it was laying very still on the ocean floor. But when Robert dived down to take a closer look at the creature, the Hook Island Monster suddenly moved its head toward Robert, causing the man to panic and high tail it back to his family’s boat. Some people claim that this sea creature is nothing but a hoax created by photoshop…

4) Lagarflojt Worm

There is a lake called Lagarfljotsormur located in Egilsstadir, Iceland. In 2012, a group of people were visiting the lake during one cold winter day when they spotted something very unusual. One of the individuals began to record what appears to be a large snake-like creature, slowly swimming around under the surface of the water. The creature has a scaly appearance, with a large head. Some people argue that it could be debris that moves due to gases released far below the surface. However many experts have viewed the footage and have no ruled out the possibility that it could very well be a previously unidentified animal that lives deep below the surface of the lake.

3) The Ningen

The ningen is a name used to describe a humanoid creature has been popular in Japanese culture for hundreds of years. Many people believe the pale humanoid lives in the arctic and could be an ancient alien from another planet. When a strange, unidentified creature appeared on an image taken for Google Maps, many people began to suspect that it was a ningen. The humanoids are said to have been spotted by government whale research ships both off the coast of Japan and in the arctic.

2) The Nabau

In 2009, a group of emergency workers were flying in a helicopter, monitoring flood levels of the Baleh River in Sarawak. As they flew, one of them noticed a very strange creature swimming in the water below. It was called a nabau, which means giant snake. According to legend, the nabau is a snake that is over a hundred feet long in length. After the photograph was taken in January of that year, media outlets such as websites and newspapers began to blow up from the footage. A few argue that the photograph was tampered with, but those who live near the Baleh River are terrified and convinced that the legendary nabau has returned to the waters after many decades of being hidden.

1) The Prehistoric Shark

A group of guys were out in the ocean near Victoria’s East fishing when one of them caught something and began to reel it in. The men were all shocked when a most unusual creature was spotted on the end of the line. It’s long brown body and gummy looking mouth made them initially assume they had caught some sub-species of eel. But upon further examination, it was determined that the strange creature is actually the extremely rare and little spotted Frill Shark. The Frill Shark is prehistoric and has been living in the ocean for around eighty million years. The group of fishermen had no idea that they had captured the first live sighting of the shark in human history.
