A "Monster" in Montauk!
 
http://gawker.com/5030531/dead-monst...ore-in-montauk


Maybe I'm just crazy, but isn't it, uh... a turtle?

Raph's Girl 07-30-2008 04:01 PM

That aint no turtle. For one it looks like it has fur...and it's got a rodent like tail...and in the jaws there's teeth! Plus look at the back legs...they're somewhat like that of a mammal. Almost looks like it's got a lobster claw.

Looks like ole Shredder is experimenting again....

No, I concur. Looks like a turtle lost its shell.

The resemblance is uncanny.

Hannah 07-30-2008 05:24 PM

See, now I'm imagining this thing as god damn massive. Thanks.

Tinuvielsdreams 07-30-2008 08:40 PM

yikes! I was not prepared for that when I clicked into this link. That thing is pretty freaky looking

Jeff Corwin said on FoxNews this morning that, depending on its size (no point of reference in the picture), he believes it to be a raccoon or dog. The "beak", he states, is actually the decomposing jaw, revealing the canine teeth.

Woo! First post, long time viewer

Voltron 07-31-2008 09:46 AM

Oh, what does Jeff Corwin know?

I say it's a mandragora. Someone tried to harvest it and, when it screamed real loud they dropped it. The fall, unfortunately, killed the creature.

You can tell from the markings on the tire!


I'm so lonely. . .

Dear Jeff Corwin,

Dogs/Racoons have flippers now?

Nice to know that this has made it to the news (even if it is FOX news).

Does anyone else think that's a Photoshopped picture?

In one of the follow-up articles to the link in the original post they write:

But for this to be a Photoshop hoax several people would have to be lying, including that friendly waiter fella, so let's move on.
Oh, yes. Some sort of monster washing ashore is SO much more likely to occur than people lying. But they're probably being sarcastic so I suppose I can't heap the vituperation on. Darn.

It's obviously one of Mcdonalds and KFC's escaped genetic chickens I mean come on look at it.:lol:

Ninjinister 07-31-2008 10:34 AM

Could be Photoshopped; my analysis tools are at home, so I can't tell for sure from here.

I'd rather it be some sort of bizarre cryptid, though. One that can't be explained away by some helmet-wearing psuedoscientist as just being a disfigured or diseased member of a previously encountered species.

Cowabunga Carl 07-31-2008 11:38 AM

See the way I see it is that they don't know what it is but don't want to admit it. Of course if you are an "expert" you wouldn't admit cryptozoological creatures exist.

Hannah 07-31-2008 11:53 AM

He's...he's a reverse vampire, they crave the sun. They love it! They love to get tans! He's from....Tansylvania!

Montauk derives its name from the Montaukett Native Americans who previously lived on Long Island. Some of the tribe were later exiled to Missouri.

Hmm... Perhaps this creature has something to do with the Montauk Project?? Time travel and experiments on aliens...always ever so fun!

I don't care what you call it, I call it dinner.

Jester 08-02-2008 10:30 PM

So it's not the Minnetonka Mutant?

Ra 08-03-2008 12:05 AM

I doubt that this thing is real. One side is comepletely different from the other according to the photos.

I just hope we aren't looking at a case of animal experimentation here.
