The people in the village of Garuhape, in the province of Misiones of Argentina were surprised at the discovery of this weird bird like creature.
The creature appears to have a bird type head and wings but the body of a lion, as described by people from the village.

The unknown creature was discovered by Valeria Machado. The creature was under a fruit basket in Valeria's home. Valeria is a genetics student at Universidad Nacional de Misiones (UNAM).

Valeria said, "At first I thought it was a bird but soon realized that the creature had ears. Then I concluded that it was a newborn rat that could have suffered some kind of mutation."

The creature only measured about 4 inches long and was found in January 2014. The theory of a mutated rat is not being accepted by everyone.

Here is a close up photo of the head of the creature.

Mutated rat or something else?

In the photo the creature is laying in the lid from a small jar, some think it is a plate but it's not. It is also reported that the creature is still being looked at and studied. Whatever it is, it seems to be weird and out of the norm. It appears to have a birds beak and feathers but also a long tail and ears. Plus arms and legs, with feet not like bird feet. It's very odd. 

So do you think it is a mutated rat, A hoax or something unknown?

Thanks
~Tom~
