Have you ever seen anything like this ? Image Credit: Twitter / YouTube What's long, slithers around underwater and is covered in green fur ?

This was the question asked by a number of curious social media users this week after footage of such a creature, which was discovered in Thailand, went viral online.

It was found quite unexpectedly in the city of Sakhon Nakhon and placed into a container of water.So could this be a previously undiscovered species, a deliberate hoax, or is something else going on ?

In this case, at least, there does appear to be a conventional explanation - the general consensus among the locals is that this is in fact a puff-faced water snake that has spent so long at the bottom of a swamp waiting for prey to come along that moss has literally grown all over its body.

You can check out the footage for yourself below.
