This mystery sea creature left locals baffled after it washed up on the shore on the eastern coast of Russia.

The enormous furry beast, which doesn’t appear to have a prominent face with eyes, recently washed up from the Bering Sea.

Resident Svetlana Dyadenko said: ''The most interesting thing to me is that the creature is covered with tubular fur. Could it be some ancient creature?

''I wish scientists could inspect this enigma that the ocean threw at us. It does look like fur, but it’s tubular, as if a lot of tiny pipes hang down the carcass.''
