Amid heavy rains in Sydney, the discovery of a strange "alien-like" creature has left biologists baffled.
A jogger, identified as Harry Hayes, spotted a grey embryo of a bizzare animal-shaped creature with eyes open and a trunk-like figure extending out of its body.
Hayes made a video and uploaded it on Instagram in which the creature can be seen completely immobile lying on the road as he tries to move it with a stick.
Shortly thereafter the video went viral leaving netizens curious as they reposted it on their social media handles.
Some netizens have since commented that the mysterious creature could be a "shark embryo or some other sea creature". Others believe it to be an "alien".
Unable to recognise the creature, Australian Biologist Ellie took to Twitter and shared a picture of this mysterious creature, asking users to help her in finding its identity.
