OK, now you've got me. Did you take this picture? Was it moving? My instant reaction is 'optical illusion', a stick or something equally mundane that you've caught at an odd angle. Go on, tell us more.
No, I didn't take it so I can't tell you any more about it. It could just be some Photoshop jiggerypokery.
It reminds me of a real story though. Apparently somewhere in South America loads of people phoned the police claiming that an "alien" was wandering around. When the police investigated, it turned out to be a performing dog from a circus that had fallen into a pond, got covered inweed, and was walking around on its hind legs with Rastafar-i pondweed hair ...
I'm a writer from Cornwall, currently living in Wales. I've worked as a shepherd, among other things, and now teach the early histories of cinema and photography. My hobbies include sailing, photography, making strange little films, studying rooks, and wandering around the countryside with my dogs. This year I'm going to start sea kayaking and explore the British coast up close and personal.

Life really is stranger than fiction.
Looks like a hypnotised mutt with a severe case of the runs.
Cheers for the blog link, Crowe...
The two-legged runs?
