- A monstrous find is circulating on Google Maps.
- The skeleton of a giant snake can be seen off the coast of France.
- But this need not worry you.
If you have a snake phobia, you should not necessarily go on holiday to the French municipality of Saint-Brevin-les-Pins. A look at Google Maps already shows this.
If you enter the coordinates 47.26788765634558, -2.170786978926952 and activate the satellite view, you will discover a primeval monster right off the coast. The skeleton of a giant snake rises out of the water here.
But don’t worry, the object called Serpent d’Océan is not a fossil, but an art installation. It comes from the Chinese-French artist Huang Yong Ping.

These traces of a sandworm in the Sahara are of similar origin. Whereas there is no art object hidden behind this huge dragonfly in front of Seattle.
