What is this mysterious beast?

Tis the Stronsay Beast a basking shark? In my own opinion, yes.

What? Did you just call me a mother fucking liar? Well, bitch....here's the evidence!

"When the tissues of such a shark decompose, the extensive gill area rots away, taking the jaws with it and leaving little more in front of the pectoral fines than the cranium and spinal column. Dried fibers from the surface muscles resemble a fringe of hairs, and the cartilage of the two reproductive claspers (Nick: wtf?), together with the pectoral and pelvic fins, give the impression of three pairs of legs. The overal result is that the corpse resembles some serpentine sea monster." - "Man and Beast: Quest for the Unknown".

There you have it.
