Mysterious ’alien’ with reptile skull and claws washes up on beach to walker’s horror

The bizarre-looking remains of a mystery creature have washed up on a beach on Australia’s Sunshine Coast, leaving Queensland resident Alex Tan completely baffled. The four-legged creature with a naked, flabby body and a long rat-like tail has lost almost all of the flesh from its head, exposing a long “reptilian” skull. Alex shared a short video of his creepy find to Instagram, saying “’I’ve stumbled across something weird. This is like one of those things you see when people claim they’ve found aliens.” He said that his spooky discovery looked like “a de-haired possum, but different to anything I’ve seen,” before going on to say he thought it was “extraterrestrial”.
