Dog walkers are being warned to protect their pets from dangerous congealed palm oil washed up on beaches. The alarm has been raised after one pet owner flagged up a mysterious object that had floated onto Anglesey beach in North Wales.
Ian Carmichael tweeted a picture of the bright orange object, North Wales Live reported. He wrote: "No idea what this is washed up on Porth-y-post beach this morning.. but the dog ran straight to it and rubbed herself on it leaving her bright orange! Dog walkers beware!"
A debate followed among Twitter users over what the mystery object could be. Some speculated whether it could be ambergris - a solid, waxy flammable substance produced in the digestive system of sperm whales.
