A SEA creature has been discovered savaged by animals on a beach.

Visitors to Bradwell Beach were shocked when they found the sea creature, believed to be a dolphin washed up on the beach.

Members of the community first reported the 'dolphin' on September 1.

Today (September 3), another person spotted the sea creature, which GRAPHIC images show had lost part of its face.

Maldon and Burnham Standard:

The whereabouts of the animal was reported to British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), who have passed the report onto the relevant authorities.

BDMLR believe the further damage to the deceased animal were caused by "scavengers".
