The weird animal had scales like a fish but two feet with toes, no fin, a long bone on its back and even a “perfectly formed” human nose above its mouth.

It is thought the “alien” cannot swim but instead walks on the seabed.

It was found by disbelieving fishermen on the tiny island of Carriacou in the Caribbean.

The find comes just a week after a bizarre “alien” fish with legs and a bullet-fast bite was discovered in New Zealand.

One islander said: "Everyone crowded round to look – nobody had ever seen anything like it.

"Quite a few people were pretty scared and thought it looked like something out of a sci-fi horror film."

Carriacou is just 200 miles from Barbados, a favourite winter hangout for Brits and even celebrities such as Rihanna and Simon Cowell.

Veteran fisherman Hope McLawrence, 74, said: "I have never seen anything like it.

"The wings and tail looks extremely complicated.

"By the look of the creature it cannot swim but apparently walks on the sea bed.

"This has shocked me since I never thought that a creature like this even existed, much less in the harbour of these shallow, unfriendly waters."
