What the heck is this??

[weareallqueens]

Spotted on a path near a beach. Any ideas?

(pic presumably pending).

Looks like a kind of en caul birth, maybe a bird or an otter

Edit- Google lense says it’s a species of giant sea slug known as Black Sea hare.

Aye, this is what Google said for me, but it doesn’t look like the other pics of sea hares… plus while it was a coastal path, it was quite a distance from the actual sea.

Possibly wrong as I can't guage the size but I think it's a infant walrus or possibly sea lion/seal

Isn’t nature beautiful? 😁

Too late to edit, please ignore the above, I have researched this some more and I am now certain it is not a walrus (I was confusing it with something else)

Sea Slug? How big is it? Looks like the size of a rabbit in the image.

Yes, roughly the size of a rabbit.

Blimey. They do say there are likely all sorts of creatures in the sea not even discovered yet, or at least not in the general public awareness.

I would have said sea hare too, they look very different when in the water. That would be a big one though. On the distance it could have easily been dropped by a bird that had picked it up.

This?

Infant duck billed platypus

At first glance I thought it was a cookie cutter shark!!

Distant cousin of ET?

Probably. Especially if there’s a few of them washing up.
