A HORRIFYING sea creature washed up on a beach has been baffling oceanic experts.

    The odd-looking beast, a huge 4 meters long, was found by sun worshippers on Bonfil Beach, in the city of Acapulco, in the southwest Mexican state of Guerrero.

    Shocked tourists took snaps of the underwater monster before sharing them on social media.

    The floating body was brought to the shore by strong currents that have been affecting that particular part of the Mexican coast.

    Although the coordinator of the Civil Guard and Fire Brigade, Rosa Camacho, believes the animal had not been dead for a long time, it still seemed to have rapidly started to decay.

    She said, “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.

    “It is 4 meters long and was found on Bonfil Beach.”
