The bizarre dead animal has experts and scientists scratching their heads. The animal was found lying dead on the sands of a beach in Littlehampton, West Sussex, last year.
According to the report published by the Mirror, Marilyn Inglis (72), a London resident, spotted the animal with a spiked tail and a translucent head while walking on sandy Littlehampton beach on vacation. "You don't see too many things like that – we just stood there looking at it for a while. It appeared alien-like. I've shown the pictures to loads of people but no one seemed to know what it could be," Inglis told the media outlet. The woman was quoted as saying that if it had been April Fool's Day then I would think someone had created it, but it looked too real.

The rare discovery has baffled the experts at the animal charity the RSPCA as they were unable to identify the creature.
