A supposed 'red-eyed Baby Godzilla' has been spotted cutting through the water's surface in London's Thames.
The UK capital is hardly famed for its array of river monsters but a Reddit user shared a snap of what some social media users say, could be just that.
Is it the Loch Ness Monster lost on the other side of the country, its cousin, or merely the top of a wooden post sticking out of the water.

The latter of possibilities may be the most rational of explanations but that has not stopped the imagination of other running riot.
"Saw a mad thing in the Thames just now," the photographer themselves shared on Reddit.
The picture appears to show a large black mass peering above the water, with a curious eye-like red circle protruding towards the front of it.
One fearful user wrote "Ah, one more thing to add to my irrational fear collection", as another person agreed: "Well I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight."
Another suggested its identity was "Baby Godzilla."
A debate also erupted as to the likelihood of an unknown sea creature lurking in one of the best-known rivers in the world, with some appearing to suggest it was simply a compelling snap of a rock or a wooden post.
One curious person asked: "Was it just floating downstream like some inanimate object or did it move like something that was evidently alive?", to which a more sceptical user replied: "It's almost certainly the top of a wooden post."
Someone else suggested: "A lid on a rock."
Others however seemed more ready to believe, and one Reddit user suggested that it could be the "famous Thames Anaconda" that became urban legend after an enormous snake skin was found in the river last year.
In August 2022, the unexplained scaly remains were found on the shores of the River Thames in London by someone scavenging for valuable objects.
Jason Sandy was mudlarking when he came across the foul-smelling five-foot skin on the north side of the Thames close to the busy Hammersmith Bridge.
It was speculated that the scaly skin could belong to a boa constrictor that had been abandoned or even escaped from its owner. The snake species is non-venomous and normally found in Central and South America.
