A dead body has been found in a stream that is currently unidentifiable after ‘mini dinosaurs’ devoured their face and body parts.
The corpse was found naked on a log spanning a small stream.
Large monitor lizards, dubbed mini dinosaurs, had been munching on the body, making it hard for the authorities to identify them.

The body was discovered near the town of Teluk Intan in Perak State, Malaysia, yesterday (5 Mar).
Police spokesperson Ahmad Adnan Basri said they received a report from a member of the public at around midday.
The police said: “Initial police investigations revealed that the body was discovered lying across a wooden plank spanning the stream, devoid of clothing, and lacking any form of identification at the scene.
“The condition of the deceased was bad, with numerous parts of the body consumed by monitor lizards.
“Their facial features were no longer recognisable.
“An examination at the scene did not find any identification.
The police said the body was taken to Teluk Intan Hospital to undergo an autopsy.
However, the authorities said the victim’s identity and cause of death were “unascertained”.
The police have called on members of the public who have missing family members to provide information at their nearest police station as soon as possible.
The spokesperson added: “So far, the case has been classified as sudden death.”
The police probe continues.
