In Malaysia, the police, like cops in pretty much every part of the world, are presumably very busy catching criminals and generally ensuring that the local community is as safe as possible.

I say “presumably” because police in the southeast Asian country recently had a very unusual fiasco on their hands, and it revolved around a hideously bizarre and unidentifiable creature.

A creature that looked exactly like this:

The creature can only be described as a combination of a baby human, a cat and possibly some sort of extraterrestrial being.

So, what exactly happened in Malaysia? And is there any chance that this “being” is an actual bona fide animal of some sort?

Well, the situation escalated to the point where the police were pretty much compelled to deny that this strange creature was wandering around the local area.

In what may seem like a totally unlikely situation, many people actually got in touch with the police in fear for their lives.

How were they to know that this miniature beast wasn’t a deadly creature disguised as a frail baby troll? Or perhaps it was an extra terrestrial and the government needed to be alerted!

The eerie-looking creature is almost entirely hairless, has a tail, four legs, paws with devastating claws and pointy teeth. It is now under the watchful eye of scientists in the area as they try to figure out where this oddity of nature came from.
