A large four-metre long fish has been found washed up on a Gower beach.

A dog walker spotted the creature while strolling on Oxwich Bay on Friday, June 10.

They said they noticed it while walking with their dog, Sasha, describing it as "the biggest fish we've ever seen".The fish has since been identified as an Atlantic bluefin tuna, an endangered species of the marine animal and the largest of its kind according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
 

Atlantic bluefin tuna are endangered due to overfishing, but there has been a resurgence in sightings across the UK.

They are one of four species of tuna that visit the UK but usually in rare circumstances, predominantly visiting the south western coast.

Ecologist Thomas Faulkner, who works closely with the Wildlife Trust of South & West Wales, identified the species of tuna found on Oxwich Bay.
