Marine biologists can’t figure out what it is.By Dileep Thekkethil
Marine biologists are shocked after a mysterious creature, very similar to a giant octopus, washed ashore on a tourist beach in Mexico, triggering panic around the coastal line.
The unkempt dead creature which is close to 13-foot in length was found in the Bonfil Beach in the city of Acapulco in the in the southwest Mexican state of Guerrero.
Soon after the news about the mysterious sea creature started spreading, people from nearby localities thronged into the beach to take selfies and photos of the beastly creature.
The social media has gone abuzz with discussion over the species of the creature with some UFO buffs calling it an alien being from space.
According to oceanographer, strong currents have been lashing into the coasts of Mexico and that could have resulted in the carcass reaching the beach.
Civil Guard and Fire Brigade coordinator, Rosa Camacho was quoted by the Daily Mail saying that the stink coming out from the creature indicates that it was dead long time before.
‘We have no idea what type of animal this is, but I do know that it does not smell bad or have a fetid aroma,’ Camacho stated.
A video of the creature that is making rounds in the social media shows spectators poking the carcass of the sea creature with sticks.
Even though the creature is decayed and waterlogged beyond recognition, it looks somewhat similar to a giant Octopus, a creature many of us have seen in Sci-Fi movies.
