Australia has seen its share of weird creatures on its beaches recently, and this close encounter is making locals scratch their heads.

This alien-like creature washed up on the shores of Bondi Beach Tuesday …discovered by local Drew Lambert. It was lying in a pile of seaweed, with lips resembling a human’s.

Drew says he assumed it was some odd form of a shark, but now he isn’t so sure … people online have speculated what it could be, with several speculating it might be a type of ray, but as one person commented, “it’s missing like, everything.”

A supervisor at Sea Life Sydney Aquarium dismissed the alien theories, saying it’s gotta be a coffin ray, which is missing fins and a tail.

Of course, this isn’t the first Aussie beach with mystery mammals or whatever … as we reported, another creature was found over the weekend at Maroochydore Beach.
