A photographer has clicked images of a large unrecognisable object that was spotted off the coast of Britain.

There is much speculation about the object with some stating that it might be a crocodile while other say that Scotland's Loch Ness monster might have a close relative in England. Photographer Allan Jones clicked some pictures of the creature wallowing in the waters off Plymouth Sound in Devon.

Jones said that the animal was 20 foot long and was spotted swimming against the currentabout half a mile offshore.

Jones said, "I've never seen anything like it, the first thing that struck me was that it looked just like a huge crocodile. The creature or object moved in circles, appeared to curve its shape and moved a considerable distance from left to right, turn and then move back the other way. It circled a piece of floating wood that floated up to and past it. The creature or object then turned and remained stationary."

Experts believe that it might be a salt water crocodiles that exist in the wild and males can grow to be 22 feet long. They are the largest reptiles on the planet.
