Mysterious creature washes up on Australia's shore, locals call it 'extraterrestrial' [Watch]

A mysterious alien-like creature washed up on a popular beach in Australia's Queensland, leaving local residents astonished.

The clip of the mysterious creature has been shared by a local resident Alex Tan on his Instagram account. The creature looks to have a reptilian-like skull, flabby limbs, a long tail and claws.

Here's the video:

According to the local resident Alex, he discovered the creature on the shore of Maroochydore beach during morning walk.

“I've stumbled across something weird,” Alex is heard saying in the video. “This is like one of those things you see when people claim they've found aliens,” Alex added.

Alex then pans the camera to show the strange creature. Flies are seen crawling on the creature and buzzing around it. Alex described the creature as a “de-haired” possum but added that it was "different to anything" he had seen before.

“Extra-terrestrial,” Alex added as the video closed.

Several people who commented on the post tagged wildlife experts - including Australian legend Steve Irwin's daughter Bindi - for their opinion. However, a few suggested it looked like a wallaby.

This is not the first time that strange creatures have washed ashore an Australian beach. A bizarre blob-like was found last month at Sydney’s Warriewood Beach.

The locals in the area were shocked to see the brain-like creature, which was later identified as sea anemone.
