In recent events, native individuals have claimed that extraterrestrials have begun splashing up on Australian coastlines, perplexing people.

Slug-Like Sea Creature

According to Yahoo News Australia, a citizen of Sutherland Shire in New South Wales discovered a slug-like living form on a coastline and shared images on Facebook.

On the post, covered by Newsbreak, the folk questioned and ask through the post if anyone does recognize what is in the picture attached to the post. Furthermore, the individual claimed on the Facebook post to have spotted a few of them washing ashore through the week.

While some other resident stated that the similar creatures had juiced ashore in Cronulla, which is likewise situated around the central beach of the identical territory.

According to once unnamed homeowner whom also commented on the said post, the alien-like creature seems to be everywhere which makes them curious as to what they are.

But even though the life form brings to mind an alien, Harry Masefield, an aquarist at Sea Life Sydney Aquaponics system, told Yahoo that it is an ocean hare, a slug-like maritime sea squirt managed to find parallel to the longitudinal Australia's southern beach, the Global News reported.

The aquatic mammal is typically found in seagrass meadows or mountainous coral reef, where it feeds primarily on algae. The ocean hare's epidermis contains a toxin that protects it from predatory animals. But nevertheless, if tried to touch, it is not dangerous to living beings.

Masefield believes sea hares are flushing up as a consequence of global warming cautions have awhile back been issued for several parts of the area across New South Wales' central seaboard.

Stormy weather as well as strong gusts have been reported in the region. These extreme weather events are most probably what prompted the strange-looking living creature to splash up on the coast, a destiny shared by a plethora of aquatic creatures left homeless by torrential rains as well as flash floods.

Weird and Washed up Creatures in Australian Coasts

According to Professor Culum Brown of Macquarie College, sea hares are only possibly dangerous if tried to eat.

In his interview Professor Culum Brown also remarked and informed the journalistic website that human do not actually eat the said specie, but if a dog finds them blown up on the seashore, perhaps it will lead to injuries to the dog if the specific hare has been consuming certain sorts of algae.

This was not the only occasion strange-looking marine critters have lost at sea on Australian coastlines after storms. Some other strange as well as alien feature marine animal creatures have been reportedly stranded on the Queensland seashore in March.

Alex Tan, a Sunshine Coast native citizen, as per the update of Newsweek was out for a walk this morning when he happened to come across the rotting corpse, which seemed to have anthropomorphic palms and a reptilian cranium and dorsal fin. It also had black fur patches.

And after that, in April, a further life form with human-like mouth juiced up on Bondi Beach in Sydney. Drew Lambert, a resident, discovered the living creature between many storms surge fragments.

Lambert captured a short clip of an animal with large lips that seemed to be human-like. It was subsequently known as a coffin ray by a specialist, News 18 claimed.
