Fact Check:

Various stories carrying pictures and short video purport to show a strange Alien fish found in Indian Vizag (Visakhapatnam) Beach. Some versions called it a Real Mermaid (half-fish half-human, also called Jalakanya in Telugu) caught by fishermen in Visakhapatnam Sea Coast. Other versions called the Exotic fish a wonderful creation of nature, mentioning other places like Orissa, Oman Gulf and even London. As a matter of truth, the strange creature is not any Alien fish or Mermaid – it is simply a Sculpture of Art.

About the Alien Fish Found in Vizag Beach

As you can see in the pictures and video, the creature in question does appear strange having features of Fish, Human and cruel mammal like a Crocodile. Notably, at one point towards end of the video, you can also see some movement along the throat region of the creature. This in fact made many people believe the mysterious creature is for real and could be something mythical. Interestingly, there’s another picture of it that shows its hands tied at the back side.

The same story circulated online with another story later on. It said Vietnam TV reported a Humanoid fish a fisherman caught in Southern China. It described the creature as a mutant species with arms and legs similar to a human body, pregnant, and handed over for research.

Art Sculpture

Yes, what you see in the pictures and video is not a real creature, but a sculpture of art (see picture below). According to website phothutaw.com, the young Myanmar Artist made the interesting creature using wood and silicon. The movement that you see in the throat region of the ‘mysterious creature’ is coming from a motor that runs through its mouth.
