The monstrous 4-metre (13-foot-long) beast was discovered on Bonfil Beach, in the city of Acapulco, in the south-west Mexican state of Guerrero, reports UPI.com.
Civil Protection and Fire Acapulco posted a video to Facebook on March 10 showing the 13-foot-long deflated carcass that washed up on Bonfil Beach this week, it said.
The post described the creature, which a resident pokes with a stick in the video, as an "unknown animal."
Sabas de la Rosa Camacho, coordinator of Civil Protection and Fire said the carcass does not appear to have a foul smell.
De la Rosa Camacho told local news agency, Daily 24 Hours that the animal could be "a squid or a whale". But those who have examined the creature said it appears to have bones.
According to UPI, Facebook users offered some more tongue-in-cheek identifications of the creature, with one suggesting the creature is "clearly" a Pokemon called Muk.
