Roxanne Henricus wasn鈥檛 sure what she had found Tuesday morning.
While out for a walk at the remote Triangle Beach, tucked away on the Fraser River behind SilveryCity cinema, Henricus spotted a weird-looking skeleton on the sand.
鈥淚鈥檝e never seen anything like it before,鈥� she told the Richmond News of the four to five-feet long skeleton, which remnants of flesh hanging from it.
鈥淚t looked like it had claws. It looked kind of like a reptile of some kind.鈥�
The News contacted the Strawberry Isle Marine Research Society - based out of Clayoquot Sound on the west coast of 麻豆传媒映画Island 鈥� which conducts research into the marine ecosystems of the region.
鈥�(It) looks to be a pinniped, either seal or young sea lion,鈥� local skeleton expert Albert Shepard, told the News, via the research society.
鈥淚f that鈥檚 a pinnae (ear flap) on the side of the head, then it is probably a California sea lion.鈥�
