Fishermen have been frantically dragging a lake in Canada where the corpse of a bizarre looking animal was discovered.
But days of search party expeditions in Kitchenuhmaykoosib, northern Ontario, have so far proved fruitless with local residents failing to unearth the body of the mystery creature.
The strange animal has generated worldwide interest after local authorities last week released a series of photos of it taken by the two nurses who made the find.
