A mysterious sea creature That “looks like an alien” was found by a woman while walking on the beach. The find caused not only amazement among local residents, but bewilderment among scientists.
Marilyn Inglis, 72 years oldcame across the marine animal while taking a walk a few months ago along a beach in Littlehampton, West Sussex, United Kingdom.
He has since noted its striking resemblance to another creature photographed along the Dorset coast last December.
Both animals have a translucent head -similar to that of a jellyfish- and least two fins of different sizes with a long tail.
Each of the bodies is colored dark graywhile that found in Sussex appears to have spikes running from the head to the spine.
Discovery of the creature that looks like an alien
“You don’t see many things like that, we just stood there looking at him for a while. He looked like an alien,” Marilyn confided. The mirror.
“I have shown the photos to many people, but no one seemed to know what it could be”He added.
“Even though it had been eaten a little, it was still quite large, over two feet long. It didn’t look bony, but it was quite muscular and did not appear to have a crocodile tail“Described the woman.
He also reflected that it was hard to tell how long he had been dead and if he was swollen after being in the water for so long.
“When I showed it to people going fishing, no one seemed to have a clue what it was. But they haven’t seen it in real lifewhich was creepier than just looking at the photo.”
Marilyn, originally from London, was visiting her friend when she made the shocking discovery last year has come back to light for more like it.
She added to her account, “If it was April Fool’s Day, I’d think someone made it to scare us, but it looked too real. If we weren’t so nervous, we might have gotten it off the beach somehow, but not you never know,” he cautiously warned at the time.
Science puzzled with sea creature
Pending an investigation to see what creature it was, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) was equally puzzled by the creature, assuring that he could not identify it.
But researchers from the Marine Conservation Society risked it could be a species of stingray fish.
After showing pictures of the creature, a spokesman said: “Our experts believe it is a prickly ray which was caught and had its wings removed“, published the British media.
Social media users have also suggested that the creature found in Dorset could be a ‘wingless’ ray.
Appearance of a mysterious “dinosaur claw”
The fact comes to light again after a mysterious “dinosaur claw” would confuse experts after appearing on the front lawn of a woman’s house in Wales.
Laura Moorcroft she said she “immediately thought it was from a dinosaur” when she and her husband discovered the remains.
By sharing her photo online, Laura convinced locals to believe their guesses.
some said it was of a birdbut others suspected something reptilian like an alligator, a crocodile or a turtle.
Seeking a more informed opinion, Moorcroft contacted Chester Zoo and a nearby vet.
Apparently, both agreed that it came from a bird, but even they could not agree on the species.
Worms on the beach
Earlier this month, a dog walker was shocked after finding it a rubbery bunch of strange worm-like creatures on an Anglesey beach.
After the unusual discovery, said Katie Tootell North Wales live: “Found this while walking my dogs in Traeth Lligwy on Monday morning.”
“The dogs saw it first and when they started smelling it I thought they just found it a jellyfish, but when I saw it up close I had no idea what it was.
“I’ve been coming to the beach for 12 years and I’ve never seen anything like this before,” she remarked, still in awe.
While you don’t see it every day in the area, the little white dots inside the capsules are thought to be squid roe.
Squid eggs are normally anchored to the seabed and must have broken off to reach the beach, experts say.
