A mysterious sea creature has washed up on a beach in Siberia, sparking a lot of speculation and theories about the creature. Scientists noted that the unidentified animal was apparently washed back into the sea by a storm. The strange creature was discovered on a beach near Shakhtersk Airport on Sakhalin Island in eastern Russia.

Scientists were not able to investigate or take samples from the animal's carcass in order to be able to determine the species of the animal. Many speculate that it could be a dolphin but others said that it had not fins and there were bones protruding from its underside that could have been feet. Onlookers said that the creature was twice the size of a human and had a nose like a bird's beak. Some also noted that it also had fur on its tail.

Olga Begunova, who took pictures of the mysterious creature, said, "At first glance we saw what looked like the muzzle of a dolphin. But after a closer look we saw it had big jaws of approximately 70 centimetres with rotten teeth.The body was about two metres long though it was difficult to judge, and went into a tail of about three to five metres. The creature was hairy, with some paws or feet, and no fins. We were very confused that everything was covered with hairs."
