Jul 30 2008Monster Washes Ashore In Montauk

FAKE!

Number 2

I wouldn't be surprised if it's from the REAL Montauk project. All sorts of weird things came through the portals they opened, some created by the imagination of the person sitting in the infamous Montauk chair. I dread to think what could have been created if the Geekologie writer got strapped into that thing (I mean after real life Princess Zelda.)

I can't be sure if it's real - but it's certainly giving me the finger.

And 3. Have you noticed it's middle finger?

seriously these f***ing celebrities are ridiculous. Sarah Jesica Parker sunbathing in the nude while at the same time flipping off the camera? Classy ms. Parker really classy.

lol @ #6 i know she's classy like that!

lol. If you had to, which would you bang, this thing, Sarah Jesica Parker or Dina Lohan?

Looks Lovecraftian

I heard they were making a cloverfield 2

You know, it's funny because if anything like this ever did actually happen, none of us would believe it. And that's just what they want you to think? Who? I don't know.

What was that sound?

@8 are you kidding me? I would say Lohan. I have a thing for prosciutto di parma, salami and other dry meats

Is it Jimmy Hoffa?

It's me, relaxing on the beach. Who is the f***er that took me a picture while sleeping?

Isn't Jimmy Hoffa in an oil can?

Cloverfield 2 viral marketing

cloverfield 2!!

skinned (shell less) turtle

I hate to say it, but that's a dog minus skin.

The bit of cartilage you're calling a beak only looks dino-like because of the angle of the photograph.

Now I'm gonna try to forget I ever saw that.

ROUS's? I don't believe they exist...

its not fake i live in mtk and my friend found it the thing is still in his back yard i have the pic on my phone the people from plum island are comming over their in a few days to figure out if it is from plum island. but trust me the thing is not fake but it is not as big as you think it is only about 3 and a half feet

This is either a partially decomposed dog or raccoon. I newspaper report suggests raccoon, which looks plausible according to the close up photos:

http://tinypic.com/4duhpp1s

Did someone actually say this is a turtle without a shell?

#21, it does have some similarities to a racoon, but the ears are all wrong. After the closeup though it's not a beak at all...strange decomposition though.

it's possible. ice in the Arctic is melting at an alarming rate. i imagine that there are plenty of animals extinct or not that are frozen in the ice that is now melting. the north Atlantic current could of carried the once frozen beast south east to long island.

it'd be so cool if thats what actually happened. they found a mammoth in the Arctic, didn't they?

its alf!

oh snap its a Turduckin washed ashore from my BBQ last week!

Is it just me or is it giving everyone the middle finger? Oh and doesnt it look like the same beastie creature from the first Ghostbusters movie?

It's viral marketing for Cloverfield 2. Gotta get that hype train a-rollin' early!

Dog.

its The Chupacabra!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever it is, its gross. I was eating when I saw this and I almost gagged.

Looks like it has an arm band/bandage or something on it.

its just a develpmental malformation of a dog or something similar, the face just formed incorrectly, probably led to it being a stillbirth... this is not uncommon. just search "spontaneous abortion" on wiki or something

this is reality guys, lol

I'm pretty sure its not fake; plus the news said it was a decayed raccoon. either way, its f-ing gross.

It's one of those Gojira monsters baby, am I right?

I'm not sure what it is, but I guarantee you it's a Republican.

it's a turtle without a shell....

@23 oh my god, that's exactly what i was thinking. there are things in ice that froze a log time ago, and with global warming, these things are let out...... if global warming makes it even hotter.....maybe we'll get a live creature, like a cloverfield monster. but the cloverfield monster was created from a mutation(in case anyone didn't know that, i'm pretty shure everyone knew that), so this....THING is posibly a baby pterodactyl.

I couldn't find anyone who posted it, but it may be part of the viral marketing for Cartoon Network's new show called "Cryptids Are Real."

http://gawker.com/5030762/montauk-dead-monster-maybe-tied-to-cartoon-network-show

After swimming with multiple sea turtles over several days in Maui, I'd have to say no to the "turtle without a shell" theory. It's close, the face is similar, but I don't believe sea turtles quite have the serrated teeth this thing has behind the "beak". It should also show much more damage apparent to the tissue around it's spine had it been somehow wrenched from it's shell. I still say that before it expired, it definitely voted Republican.................looks pretty evil.

I am not that surprised at all.I have viewed many of their videos and photos at*******Blackcentury dot com********where many fans are together. And I saw many people are discussing this on *******Blackcentury dot com********. You may go there to check it if you are interested.

It's really obvious. John Leguizamo reprises his role as a slightly older Luigi, but this time, instead of Bob Hoskins, they get Danny DeVito to play as Mario.

Super Mario Bros. 2: The Unshelling.
This time, it's personal!

I can't belive the Superficial Writer isn't all over this.

Wow, couldn't they have at least tried to make it look less like a pig wearing a Halloween mask? It looks less like a monster and more like a cross-breeding of Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton... except without all the STDs

how big was it?

"Mmmmmmm...... roast chicken pig..... arrrrrrrrrrrghh......." - Homer Simpson

#23-
I think it is quite possible something could be extinct but frozen and wash up like this, but not this particular animal, because of the fact that it LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE A DEAD PARTIALLY DECOMPOSED ORDINARY DOG.

I knew gryphons existed! Only it's dead...

Relax all.... UPDATE
what this is coming from a man of college statue is a pig, lobster, and Turtle so its a "lopigtle" pronoticed (la-pig-t`oll)

I do not believe!

From the closeups it looks like a decomposing dog. It's pretty sad actually, poor thing. You can't really see a beak, just a regular dog skull.

we should dissect it to find out if it's real.

Fake obviously (sorry Mulder and Scully but I do not believe).

it looks like a dog. the corpse is full of water and bloated but it`s not a monster or paris hilton`s crabs, just a dog.

hellllooo, duh its a griffon

Could be a dog, but the water def. could have caused it to bloat and the sun caused it to bake (see: redness on back, etc). Salt water could have prevented some decay, so it looks like a monster.

@35: I was reading the other comments, thinking, "Winrar," but then, you, you single handedly owned the shit out of all the other comments posted right here. I bow to you and owe you my first born.

(**Note: Because I'm a man, and I'm gay, chances of this is very, very unlikely, but you understand the figure of speech, right?)

I know this is sick, but if you imagine it isn't dead, it's kinda cute.

ManBearPig #2

ITS A MONSTURRRRR! but seriously it wound have been really insterested if it was really some unknown animal but from close up (vespidae post) it actually not a beak at all :(. some sick f.... bound the poor thing (dog) and throw it in the beach

Looks like a decomposing dog. Check out some pics of pit bulls...long toes, square head, stocky build, cropped ears...I guarantee someone was fighting dogs and tossed this poor pup into the water once they had no use for it...

yeah, it's paws are tied together. gross.

bsooa is a spamer what a dick. see post #40

I'm really sorry. We had never drank so much beer before. It's not my best angle.

It is a turtle that was born without a shell. Notice the nose? Simple answer.

I love how certain people are about their blareingly mistaken theories. Sure guys, it is the worlds first turtle with canines. Impressive.

I know! I know It's Micheal Jacksons latest pet gone bad. It''s a rare hairless mountain lion parrot from Newzeland. Yep this is what it's come to. He touched this poor thing in an inappropriate manner and when it threatened him with litigation this is what happened to the poor thing all it wanted was half of never land so it could roam free for the rest of its life.

I've seen my share of dog corpses (through no fault of my own), and the skull doesn't look right. Even if it was a bully or a mutt of one, the snout should extend farther out (not accounting for birth defects here). Judging by the fact that the sand beneath it is almost perfetly dry and there does not appear to be any insects swarming on it, my money is on viral marketing for a creature based on the dimensions of a canine. But I'm no expert

looks like something from harry potter if you ask me.

All I know is that it WILL blend.
Or maybe it is that in Soviet Russia monsters wash you ashore.

It's not the Montauk Monster, it's the Montag Monster. Ladies and gentlemen, Heidi without all her makeup.

@19: I believe I'm the only one who understood that.
So now the only questin remaining is,
where the f*** is the fire swamp?

WHAT?!! No wings? What kind of real monster doesn't have wings?

UPDATE:
We finally discovered what this monster really is. It is Al Gore's dog. He was in Canada when he lost it during a seal save. The dog apparently ran away on the ice shelf and became lost. Breaking fee, the ice drifted south where, thank God, it is warmer, melted but not knowing how to swim in salt water, the poor dog drowned. The dogs name is Tipper. See the collar on the right leg? It is reported, Mr. Gore has been keeping his lights on for the past months so the dog could find its way home. We learned it took $2,500.00 in carbon credits from a Icelandic company that uses Hydrothermic heat to manufacture Seal coats. What comes around really comes around full circle.

this honestly is not a joke, i believe its a real creature. people need to stop making jokes about it & take it seriously. we`ll have to keep watching the news to see exactly what they come to find about it.

it seems real... but also kinda fake. yeah whats that thing on its arm?
it look liked the thing died in pain by the look on the face.
who ever made this website sounded like they think they're a genius.
"So, yeah, that's my guess -- which, I might add, is 120% correct" yeah correct my a**.

@19 and 69: we are not as dumb as you think.

What the f*** is that thing?

The creature's upper canines are missing. If you look close you can see holes in the upper jaw line where teeth should be. The fur has come off and it's bloated, that's why it's so pink/shiny.

Anyone else want nothing more than to poke that thing right in the haunches?
It looks like a big squishy bag of fun.
No? Just me? Ah, well...

Actually that is the HippoGryff that Sirius, Harry and Hermoine flew on to come back from the Dementors. Damn Vol---He who must not be named-- killed it. If you look close, you can see where his wings were burnt off. Such a tragic lose. He had such a propencity to eat ferrets. Those nasty things that crawl up your pant legs.
You can tell he was a brave animal, standing up against Vol- I mean He who must not be named. .... After all, he gave him the finger with the last breath of his life. Good ole Buckbeak.

Now for a real idea. This "Monster" looks like it is a dog without his hide. The nose has been either cut off down to the bone and cleaned off with a knife, or the fish ate it off. You can see where what hide is left on by the top of it's head has been peeled back and the lower jaw skin has been peeled back also.
By the back legs, you can see the areas that are white and the areas that are dark brown, red or blackish. The white areas are the tendons where there is very little meat on a four legged animals back legs. If you hunt, you will know of what I mean when skinning out a deer, coyote or other animal. Some one for some reason took of f the skin and dumped the carcass in the ocean hoping the fish would eat it.

FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP

@19 epic win, love that movie

PLEASE EXCUSE MY GRAMMAR IT IS BAD, BUT I NEED TO SAY WHAT I BELIEVE IT IS.......IT IS A CAT GETTING DECOMPOSED ITS FACE IS ALREADY SHOWING PART OF SKULL ON THE FRONT (maxilla and mandible) WITH NO UPPER CANINE (probably it got broken), AND NO HAIR CAUSED TO OVER EXPOSURE TO THE SUN(probably somewhere else), THE PHOTOGRAPH IS CLEAR BUT THE POSTURE OF THE ANIMAL IS DIFFICULT SPECIALY THE LEFT SIDE OF TH FACE IS KIND OF BURRIED IN THE SAND, AND I'M SURE SOMEBODY DUMPED TO THE BEACH AT NIGHT AS A BAD JOKE., DEAD OR ALIVE PLEASE ....STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY!!!!!!!!!!!

I ALSO AGREE WITH Delmar Fairchild, good description

That is a genetically created gargoyle that escaped the science lab.

its a pitbull people what the hell is wrong with yall..

& to the jack asses who said it was a raccoon....ha...have u ever seen a raccoon...if that thing was a raccoon it would be the biggest raccoon ever..obviouslly some peeps have never seen a damn raccoon...again its nothing more than a decomposing dead pit

I think based on the fact that the creature is giving everyone the finger explains the credibility of the image.

A pitbull with a beak hahah good call dumbass. If anyone has seen the movie cloverfield you would easily be able to notice, that this creature, strikingly resembles the smaller creatures in that movie. Did u also know that they are making a sequel, which is already in the works. Can anybody say "Marketing Ploy for a shitty movie". Although the ploy seems to be doing a good job twisting the mind of you slow slowwwwww americans ....

Give it a DNA test and see what happens.

that is a turtle without a shell. i saw one wash up in south padre island,tx in 1988. looked like the same creature.

http://www.newsday.com has more pics of it. To me it looks like a drowned dog. A different angle makes it look more like a dog. But who knows, maybe it is the infamous El Chupracabra.

it's ass looks like a chicken.

I bet it tastes delicious.

it is not a dog because look at its claws and beak

It's a Griffin. A wingless Griffin.

People should read comments before they add their own... you all have gone over the same discusions over and over.

and whoever thinks its a dog and is serious... serously needs smacked in the face with a pit bull.

Okay, for all of you who think it's a turtle: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y13/loogie2/f4l2t4.jpg

That's not a beak, that's a jaw with the nose rotted off.

its viral marketing for cloverfield 2

It's a dead mammal.

I've seen a dead seal that had the same look to it. It washed on shore during a storm. The fur was gone. It was bloated and pink, just like this.

100th comment woot lol

yeah the other newsday pic definitely makes it look more like a dog, so provided the picture wasn't shopped or outright faked the likely hood of our creature being a dog is more well...likely. But as always I reserve the right to both waffle on my stance and eat waffles...with syrup...and butter

I think it's a dog that has been experimented on.

They're doing tons of DNA experiments and cloning.

Jokes on you all - notice that it's giving 'you' the finger!!!

I think I shit some thing like that out a few days ago. Last time I eat at my aunt house.

Joke's on you, 103;
HALF THE COMMENTS ALREADY SAY THAT.
Douchebag.

I think Jen (89) has the best idea. DNA test the thing and see if it really is a new species.

This is obviously a pig carcass that has been out at sea for a bit. The snout has been eaten away. I'd put money on it that they do a DNA test on it, it turns out to be a pig.

...or a small dog. Pig or a canine.

What looks like a big flipper for the front right appendage, if you look close, is really the front right appendage lying on top of the front left appendage. The animal is hairless. The rag tied around the front right leg--why would any animal have a rag tied around its front right leg? Look close--it looks like the rag is extended and the animal is lying on top of it. You can see it going back and up under the animal's body. Could it be the right and left legs tied together? No one would tie a rag to an animal's leg, but...someone might tie an animal's right and left legs together, if they intended to dispose of the animal by throwing it into the sea (causing it to drown), or perhaps, for some other reason?

There is an animal research facility nearby. This is a coincidence, is it not? So, we have an unidentified animal with its legs possibly tied together washed ashore, nearby an animal research facility.

There are animal research studies that involve restraining animals. I found one that was a study related to stress, where the animal's legs were tied together.

I believe that the rag tied around the legs argues strongly that this animal is in some way connected with the animal research facility which is close by. It is too much of a coincidence.

Or…I've been reading Poe's short stories too much. You tell me.

looks really tiny, like mouse size

this is definately a canine of some kind. Patially decomposed and swollen due to being in the water. a combination of the sun and the salt water, wouldcause the animal to lose all fur. if youlook closely at the rear of the animal, you can see a well-defined canine pelvic structure and back and leg muscles. the animal was definately in the water for some time, due to non rigamortis (usually takes 1-3 days for rigamortis to wear off). the animal may have been inbreed due to malforation of the jaw. it also looks to me like it suffered some kind of puncture wound in the neck or some kind of tumor perhaps. in any case this is a definate canine speciman and seems a little fishy that there IS an animal research facility nearby. either someone f***ed up(forgot to slice the stomach, as to wear the animal would have sank) or this poor animal was swept off the beach and drown, washing up on shore some time later. look closely at teh animal and you will se what i have described in this post.

Is it Jimmy Hoffa?

No, guys, we're thinking it has canine teeth.

Look at a picture of a turtle without a shell. Answer's right there.

it is designed image or real image???

Hate to be the fun-killer here, but it was already announced what this thing actually is. It's a fox or raccoon corpse, the "beak" is just the upper and lower jaws that were eroded or worn away leaving little stumps of bone.

No, I lied. It's actually an escapee from a Chinese restaurant. You haven't seen it on the menu before? Mu Shu Whatthef***isthatthing.

WOAH! This is one hell of a find! www.Montauk-Monster.com

It's your mom

I belive it

@ # 39, hey! all republicans aren't evil! we are nice caring people, there is nothing wrong with eating babies! oh well, i'll see you peeps later i gotta go get my weedwhacker, i think i found some baby bunnies in my yard.

Either it's just the boring summer, our fantasy, and a dead dog that causes all that. Turtles do no have teeth, ok ? But maybe, it's somebody who made a puzzle with dog-, turtle-, cat-, griffon- and some rat-body parts, put all together into to microwave and then made some photo were nobody can really know the actual size of this corpse, because there is nothing else to compare on the photo, so we might think "wow, if it's large, it must be a monster". Hey, maybe it's just about the size of a mice, who cares ? Regards and thank for entertainment, cheers

I gotta agree with DrNecropolis. It's a viral ad based on the sand alone. How can something "washed ashore" be nestled into perfectly dry sand that is so radically uneven. That type of sand placement stinks of someone trying to make the sand look natural...plus keep in mind that one "paw" is over the other creating the flipper illusion....

I know a guy out in Jersey that makes these things for movies...this one looks awesome...but like number 11 said "they want us to believe" too funny on "what was that sound"...but, are they saying this thing lived in the ocean? if so, does it walk on the sea floor? cause I don't see no web feet for it to swim...look like a animatraonic to me from some kind of movie...PA's have nothing to do so this look like the work of a PA.

God help us if its not fake.

it looks like the work of a photographer i can't remember the name of, some of you might remember there was a picture of a mexican man holding the decapitated head of what was supposed to be a chupacabra a year or so back
http://chupacabrablog.org/?p=40. i've recently found out that all of this stuff is staged it's pretty freaking awesome as to how much effort is put into these images...

You can befriend MM on Facebook now. He's got a good personality!

MONTAUK MONSTER UPDATE!!

The results of a 14-hour autopsy performed during Tuesday revealed that this Montauk 'Monster' was hardly a monster. Test results showed that this creature is in fact just a common earth worm.

It's obviously a worm, you idiots.

mmmm....bologna.

Hi, Appears that the montauk monster is tied to an upcoming movie expecting to be released in 2009 an filmed in the nearby area..... http://www.montauk-monster.com/2008/the_montauk_monster/breaking-news-montauk-monster-truths-revealed-splinterheads.html

THE YU GI OH CARD SLIFER THE SKY DRAGON IS REAL YU GI OH IS REAL

hmm.
I think I agree with you.
Though I'm obsessed with cryptids, and I want to believe it exists.

It's a raccoon
http://www.animachina.com/images/whatisit/montauk_monster_racoon.jpg

It's a raccoon without any fur and that is missing it's front canines (reason the picture looks like it has a 'beak' is because that's really where the upper jaw is just taken from the side). Looking at the other photos that where taken of this show the fact most of the face has decayed away. Notice the dog-like appearance of it, but the thing legs and more hand like paws, a key trait in raccoons.

Here's more on this: http://scienceblogs.com/tetrapodzoology/2008/08/the_montauk_monster.php

I agree Raptor. It's probably just a dog with mange that died on the beach. I suppose someone could have found it and put it on the beach as a joke. Worst case scenario? It's a dog that fell or was thrown off a boat. Even worse case scenario? The results of a dog fight that took place on a boat. If I were the police, I'd be checking what boats were in the area.

The Montauk Monster is ALF from the 80's tv show!

i think the guy who wrote this is wrong!!! it not a turtle, a pitbull or a rat thing ......there are three possiblle things it could be #1 its a mutaded monster #2 its a animal created by that new show on cartoon network cryptidsarereal....
AND #3 this is my oppinion it s a top seceret experiment created by the government and it escaped and drowned in the sea.... BUT HEY IM ONLY 14 HO THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO KNO IM NOT A SCIENTIST OR SOME KIND OF CRYPTIDZOO OLAGIST.........THANX FOR Reading HAHAHAHAHA :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:DD:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:d

i want to make love to carmen.

At first i thought it was a turtle with no shell but then i saw other creatures like it and then i had second thoughts!!! If you think this creature is creeeeeepy then look up the chupricabra (if thats how you spell it).

i want to have monkey sex to dolton!!!!

i want to have sex with the montauk monster i would love for him to put his penis into my vagina ahhh oohhhh it feels soo good oh how i love sex that monster is sexy!!!! mmmm i want him to rub my little boobs oohhh yea it feels goooood i am wide open for anyone to stick me and to rub my boobs thats what i love so please anyone, rub my boobs they are kinda big so yea!!!

does anyone want to f*** me and lick me head to toe i want you to rub my boobs!!!ahhh i am getting so horny come here and rub me!!!!!!!!! suck my vagina i dont care how old you r just do it please!!!! oh and my daughter is 15 does any one have a son that age so they can make love or any boy that is 13 or 14 so they make love??? please answer!!

eww who r u you sicko

after close examination i have come to the conclusion that whatever it is it's absolutely dead.

I swear I saw one like that here in Uruguay last week! OMG! OMG! I swear it, I saw a strange dead thing in the beach last week and it looked just like that! OMG OMG OMG!!

someone please answer my last comments!!!!!!

ANSWER ME PLEASE LOOK AT MY LAST COMMENTS MY NAME IS MUSTANG GIRL LOOK AT THEM PLEASE AND ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU

Oh Geez,...thought noone would find that. When my wife gave birth to it, we weren't sure what to do, so I had this 'great idea' of taking it out in my rowboat, shooting it, and tossing it over the side. Didn't think it would wash up. But, as far as what it is, i'm not entirely sure. She said shes never cheated on me, but there are a lot of raccoon scratches all over her back.

I think it’s the beginning of a massive zombie invasion! This monster was an escapee from Plum Island and it carried the Zombie Virus!

This monster is the incubator for the zombie virus that will infect all human-kind, and it looks like it’s gonna start out in New York City!

-Brian Hardin II
http://www.ZombieMall.com

i think it looks like a griffin personally.

i would totally do mustang girl and her daughter at the same time. drop me a line baby girl.

Just cut open the sucker and find out! Gosh!

Makes me feel horney...

According to CNN no autopsy will be performed. 2 lifeguards have the body and its decomposed in of all things a plastic zipper bag that a comforter comes in. Also who really cares what it is. I cant be a turtle they don't have hair. If you look at close up pics its not cloth tied around the leg it actually part of its hide. Also the cartilage around whats left of its snout is worn away giving it a beak look. Its not a dog of any sort the toe structure is wrong. Also the rear haunches though they do look canine more resemble a rodent. Look up Capybara and coypu, or nutria all are rather large rodents and coypu and nutria are native in the Unites States.

WRONG WRONG WRONG
ALL YOU GUYS ARE WRONG. LET ME BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU WHAT IT IS. IT'S NOT A DOG,RACCOON, OR A TURTLE. THIS AS BEEN ON THE NEWS SEVERAL TIME BEFORE YOU GUYS ARE JUST NOT PAYING ATTENTION. LOOK THIS CREATURE HAS NO HAIR, A BULGING BELLY, A DRUNKEN IDIOT LOOK, AND HAS A MIDDLE FINGER IT'S CLEARLY BRITTANY SPEARS. I THOUGHT YOU PEOPLE WOULD KNOW THIS. GIVE THE GIRL A BREAK SHE IS JUST TRYING TO GET SOME SUN

MEAN MEAN PEOPLE

Have you not noticed that the creature is flipping the finger!

i like the way my comment that pointed out the site editor is a dumbass was removed, he clearly said many of the pics were photoshoped and there not its just been flipped over hence the completely different look.....cue removal =oP

@ TANK , you're looking at the wrong post , the one mwith more pictures ishere.

http://www.geekologie.com/2008/08/montauk_monster_interview_spec.php

This is obviously some kind of inbreed of the boar family , with todays world there are so many of that kind of animal in the wild that they tend to mate with their relatives .
this is all this animal is , is a deformational animal . SO good bye monster story .

wtf!

looks like it came out of cloverfield... cloverfield 2?

It's a dead dog.
Seriously.
No, really. It actually is.

Dog. Not a cute one, but one.

UPDATE: its the superficial writer's mom

If it's not a raccoon, which I think it is, perhaps it is a river otter? It seems to fit because it has: hand-like paws, carnivorous teeth, long tail, etc.

mm, i love it when someone can allude to 'all your base are belong to us'

god, thank you for that.

It's clearly a decomposed dog, most likely a pitbull of some sort. The snout only looks like a beak because of the angle of the camera (there's another shot of it that clearly shows a rounded snout, but just decomposed). You must understand that a dog skull has a hole where the nose used to be. That "fin" is just exposed tendon and bone. If you have a dog, feel its lower leg just above the paw. There's an animal testing laboratory just up the river. Bingo. Now that's the right answer. The media (cnn, FOX) had access to the alternate, less convincing picture, but chose not to use it for sensational, viral marketing. Now they got bigfoot.

effn gross.
why would they flip it over to take another photo?

it's a f***'n dog spit by a shark after primarly digested

it's must'v tasted pretty bad

idk look at the eyes they aren't regular closed eyes they are slug like and black, also on the bottom part of the beak I think alot of u missed this but there is one row of teeth so yea either some random ass f***ed up shit or cloverfield 2 hype but i dont care even though it is ugly as a motherf***er

People Come On! DO you All not freaking READ anyone's post but your own???

Post #17
"17. bbenny - July 30, 2008 4:24 PM - skinned (shell less) turtle".

They actually proved it's not a fake. There was a logical explanation of what it was and why it looks so grotesque. It was a drowned raccoon. As with anything when it drowns, It bloats. Within a day it lost all it's hair. A few days later, it washed ashore. So, there is no monster. It's just a dead bloated rotted raccoon corpse.

Poor thing. D:

It's probably just a dog, or some kind of poor animal. It just doesn't seem like a monster.

I'm gonna go add it's facebook...

XD Dude, these comments are even funnier than the Geekologie writer's stuff!

P.S. All you shitheads who keep saying it's a dog, f*** you. You're just saying that because you think dogs are ugly or something. It looks NOTHING like a dog. That f***ing thing in the chupacabra video, THAT was a f***ing dog. You crackhead bastards can shove it, rot in diches, then go burn in the f***ing seventh dimension of Hell.

this is not fake , take look at these >>> http://www.flickr.com/photos/sorosh/369210192/ iiiiiiiiiii http://img.tebyan.net/big/1387/04/56031951894911288715611524786216166104.jpg iiiiiiii http://mostafanejadphoto.multiply.com/photos/album/11#2 iiiiiii http://www.flickr.com/photos/53404772@N00/81445116/ iiiiiiiii

This was on the news it's a raccoon that was underwater for about a week or 2 with its lower jaw broken

I cant believe you " geeks" believe it's true, take a look at the " beak" now type "dog skull" on google image, then compare, it's a dog skull, and actually his upper jaw and not a beak

i had a long ass, well written comment... but it's gone... my internet hates me... anyway, the skull is wrong for most of those theories, disregarding deformations, and the front limbs bend all wrong for dogs, cats, and otters (wtf?) turtles have fins, not limbs like that and how did it get that big without a shell? how did that turtle get hair? oh well. no one's gonna care anyway. the thing is dead. bury it or burn it. don't just watch it decompose. way to respect kiddies.

also, 96 is my new best friend.

First!

Looks like my cat, Beavis.

For all of you who haven't done your homework... the creature in question was nearly three feet in length. There are pictures of it that exist with people standing near by to indicate its size. I don't know where you all come from that a raccoon grows to be three feet in length.

My sister is a wild life control officer with the Ministry of Natural Resources here in Canada, and when I showed her the picture she concluded that it was, in all likelihood, a decomposing short-haired canine that was bloated because of the salt water and had its face partially chewed away or removed. We have the skulls of about 112 different mammals in her workshop, including several breeds of canine.

Those who think it is viral marketing, honestly, if it were marketing the media would have been paid by the production company to mass broadcast this story. This is a very pathetic ad campaign if that is what it is.

I agree with the two theories that either this dog is from Plum Island, or it is a resulting casualty of a local dog fighting ring.

Yeah... I'd eat it... Or tap that... Kinda a toss up!

i've seen dogs in my life and that aint look like no dog. the limbs are way too short compared how long its torso is. even with bloat, they look too small. if it was a dascherhund, i might understand but you said 3 ft. thats a god damn bigass dascherhund.
and its rear part of the torso way too bulky compared to front. and its teeth, cant say for sure but those look like all canines to me. dogs have molars, canines and incisors and all that junk.

and definitely not a fighting dog. look how small its head is. if it was a fighting dog, it should have had a bigger jaw or else the owner is just an idiot. and i see no bite marks on the throat nor the head. fighting dogs always go for throat and face

This creature called a Lystrosaurus.
