The starving animal had no hair and its skeletal frame convinced locals in Gezhai village,Henan Province, they were being visited by an alien life form.
The creature was first spotted as it munched cucumbers in housewife Mao Xiping's flat.
She was so scared of its "alien face" that she called police and told them to arrest it.
It was only later that they worked out that the animal was actually a monkey.
Now scientists are examining the skinny creature to see what species it is and where it came from.
Ms Mao said: "At first I thought it was a rabbit, then I was shocked to see it had an alien face.
"My neighbours agreed it was like nothing we'd seen before.
"It stopped eating cucumbers when we gave it peaches and now it won't eat anything else."
