What could possibly have the face of a horse, the body of a pig and the claws of a bear? Well, a mysterious creature that washed up dead on the coast line of a South Wales beach, according to reports.

Peter Bailey, the man who found the odd-looking creature, described it as a bloated, hairless carcass, according to the Sun UK. Bailey stumbled across the creature while walking his dog, and he snapped some photos which he sent to Tenby city officials.

"It was a disgusting-looking thing. It was obviously decomposing and it had lost most of its hair," Bailey said.

A spokesman for town estimates that the unique-looking animal could be that of a bloated Jack Russell terrier. However, Bailey isn't buying that and he believes that the 3 foot long "beast" was far too big to be a dog.

Dr Dan Forman, from Swansea University's College of Science, was asked to give his expert opinion on what he believed this mysterious creature could possibly be and he gave a different answer to what had previously been speculated.

"It is difficult to say from the picture, but judging by its size and the fact it has five toes, it could be a badger," said Dr Forman, according to the report.
