A recently discovered strange creature has residents of South Africa's Nature Valley convinced aliens are in their midst.

"It was most likely killed by a bite through the skull soon after birth – possibly infanticide which is very common in some primate species when a new male takes over the troop,” Dr. Magdelena Braum of The Crags Vet Clinic who performed the autopsy told the Herald.
Alien or not, that is one weird-looking animal.
