Creature found in Africa 'alien' or misshapen baboon?
Jul 12th 2013, 13:19

This "thing" was found at The Crags outside Plett yesterday and has left locals baffled. http://t.co/osz9Zn8gAd http://t.co/iuf7e4Uhe3

A recently discovered strange creature has residents of South Africa's Nature Valley convinced aliens are in their midst.

The alien-looking remains were found by the 17-year-old son of a national park ranger who snapped a few pictures of the carcass.

However, autopsy results confirmed the 'alien' was actually a newborn female baboon, according to the Herald.

"It was most likely killed by a bite through the skull soon after birth – possibly infanticide which is very common in some primate species when a new male takes over the troop," Dr. Magdelena Braum of The Crags Vet Clinic who performed the autopsy told the Herald.

Alien or not, that is one weird-looking animal.
