A strange extraterrestrial with a reptilian skull, claws, and a flabby body washed up on a beach in Australia.
Alex Tan couldn't believe his eyes when he stumbled across the unusual sight on the Sunshine Coast.
The stunned passerby immediately snapped pictures and videos of the odd creature, which he thought may have been "unusual sight".
The beast had four legs, a bare, fleshy body, a rat-like long tail, and its head showing almost all bone, reports the Daily Star.
Alex posted his weird find on Instagram, sharing a video where he said: "I've stumbled across something weird. This is like one of those things you see when people claim they've found aliens."
Describing the creature as looking like "a de-haired possum" but "different to anything [he had] ever seen", he then went on to admit he thought it was alien in nature.
Focusing the camera on the bloated carcass, which was covered in flies, Alex said: "How weird is that?"
He then asked followers to guess what it may have been, adding that he was genuinely keen to figure out what creature little buddy is."
Some Instagram users thought it may have been a kangaroo or wallaby that had been in the water too long after dying.
A few suggested Bindi Irwin, famous conservationist and daughter of late nature legend Steve Irwin, might be able to shed some light on it.

Kailey (14) and Christopher (18), whom she’s been apart from for the last two months.Throughout their 20-year together, Elizabeth confesses she poured her heart and soul into loving the Caribbean actor, even though her relationship with Levy faced constant challenges: rumors of cheating, paparazzi hounding them nonstop, the strain of putting her career on hold to raise their children, and the challenging task of navigating it all because they had to “pay that price” as public figures.Towards the end of last year, it looked like things were on the upswing for their relationship.

Aussie icon and conservationist Steve Irwin died, killed by a stingray while filming on the Great Barrier Reef.It’s a death that sent shockwaves around the world as The Crocodile Hunter was a global brand with legions of fans from across the globe.Even today, nearly 18 years later, it’s a death that hits plenty of people hard — and has classed stingrays as deadly and dangerous.It’s something that momentarily crossed my mind when I was sent for a stingray experience on a recent assignment to New Zealand.But what I found was the complete opposite and a new appreciation for a tragically misunderstood animal.Stingrays are prevalent across Australia and New Zealand with the animals living in coastal waters and in warm and tropical areas and migrating in cooler months.While stingrays have the ability to kill with their barbs, reportedly fewer than 20 people have been killed worldwide by stingrays since 1945, with just five in Australia.To put it into perspective, 91 people died falling out of bed in Australia in 2022, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.More common are injuries from the stingray barbs, which release a complex venom that is painful if struck, but the injuries are generally treated with hot water immersion, unless there’s a deep puncture.It is recommended if you are stung by a stingray to seek medical attention as it may also require a tetanus shot or an inspection to ensure none of the barb remains in the injured area.But in the wild, more likely the old adage “they’re more scared of you than you are of them” comes to mind.Often the biggest issue is stingrays being stepped on by people, or the stingray getting a fright and feeling it needs to defend itself.It makes experiences like those offered at
