This mystery creature baffled onlookers when it was spotted swimming through a river in Singapore.
The bizarre animal appeared to have a fin, tail and large mouth with whiskers when it was seen in the Geylang River last Thursday.
It glided slowly along the surface next to a concrete wall before disappearing out of view.
The creature – which appeared to be either a fish or reptile – baffled locals who are used to seeing strange wildlife but were unable to pin down what it was.
Ridhuan Abdullah said: ”Looks like a lizard, swims like a lizard, long wiry tail like a lizard, it must be a [lizard].’’
Others suggested the animal was a monitor lizard carrying a fish in its mouth.
While Bryan Briton Perez said: ‘’It’s a Sailfin Armoured Catfish or commonly known as Janitor Fish maybe.’’
