A 'monster' emerges from the Baltic sea: Photos

 A wooden sea monster has emerged from the Baltic sea after lying on the ocean floor for more than half a century. The creature, which has 'lion ears and crocodile-like mouth', is around 660lbs (300kg) and stood at the prow of a 15th-century Danish warship. It was carefully lifted from the coast of Ronneby in southern Sweden this week by divers bringing up treasures from the wreck of the 'Gribshunden' The Gribshunden, which belonged to Danish King John, is believed to have sunk in 1495 after it caught fire on its way from Copenhagen to Kalmar on Sweden's east coast.
