If the thing had stranded on an english beach, the article would probably have been in english.

Why is it that the fish in the two articles do not resemble each other? The Swedish fish looks photoshopped.

The caption under the picture in the danish article says: "It is a fish LIKE THIS ONE that has been found ......."

But Scandinavians are weird - they found it stranded on a Swedish beach, and published the article in Danish.
