Woman finds disturbing-looking creature on Cape beach, South Africa.

www.news24.com...

I found this News article on a local website here in South Africa explaining the findings of a Lady who discovered this "creature" on a coast line near De Kelder beach in the Western Cape. De Kelder beach is near the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station. I am in no ways saying that this was created due to mutation to exposure to nuclear power but until this specimen is properly identified we will never know.

According to local scientists it could be said to be this fish...www.fishwisepro.com... t=20

I thought this was interesting and worth the share.

That is disturbing! No way would I be getting in the water after seeing that on the beach. Wouldn't there be more if it was a mutation from exposure to radiation though? Until there are more found I would go with the speculation that the article offers, and say it may just be in some stage of decomposition..whatever it is.

I agree but the fact that this was so close to Koeberg Nuclear Power Station would always opens up different theories and good debate.

Looks like a Doctor Who alien.

No clue...doesn't even look like anything identifiable...

I'm sorry, but the fish at the first link is NOT the same as the fish they say it is in the second link. Not even close.

Sorry, that is a photo shopped image, that has been circulating the internet for nearly 4 years. I have seen this image dozens of times. This has just been cut and pasted to her face book account from Another scource.

No need to apologize sir.

If this is the case then my local news website simply needs to be notified

Would you have any links to where this picture was used before if I may ask?

It looks like one of those deep sea Angler fish, with the little lights on their head.
Strange

Not that I know of from memory, Just stumbled across it several times over the years.However, I suspect it may have even been here on ATS, once or twice.

It's a fish. Why would it be surprising to see a fish on a beach? Has the entire world just gone bonkers or what? ' a reply to: ShaunSwindon

No it doesn't but the fact that it's flesh is decayed around the mouth exposing more of the teeth makes it appear that way. f reply to: weirdguy

Dead baby red snapper with a sea shell stuck on its tail?
Thats my guess.

Awww. Its adorable! It would probably be pretty good pan seared with some garlic and tarragon

How about a baby goblin shark,

These guys will build you one. For a price.

My money is on dried out Angler fish.

It's a klipsuier (rocksucker), there are many down here.
You see them around harbor walls a lot.
They use there big teeth to scrape mollusks of the rocks.

it's a deep water fish, like others said

Another of the same near Cape Town South Africa.
