Marine biologists have been puzzled by the creature, with pictures causing a sensation on Russian social media
A mystery sea creature with a "beak" like a bird and fur on its tail has reportedly washed up on a beach, baffling marine experts.
The remains of the giant beast have been found in the Russian Far East on the shoreline of Sakhalin Island, a place closer to the United States than Moscow.
With a bloodied carcass ripped apart and bones showing, scientists have yet to identify the strange prehistoric-like "mutant", which has similarities to a dolphin but is twice as large as a human.
