A "Monster" in Montauk!

[VaughnMichael]

What the hell it looks totally differnt from the other side, like the other images was stretched out/ distorted or something.
It looks like a dead dog that had been decaying in the water or eaten away for awhile in the new image.
I can't believe the morons that are sitll saying turtle, a turtle would die without it's shell and doesn't even have a full rounded body like that.

Yeah, yanno... it is dead.

I love my cryptozoology, but this just seems a little too hard to believe. I wanna see that body in a box in front of a news camera, but even then I would be skeptical. Anyone remember the 'Dragon in a Jar' hoax a few years back?

And a turtle isn't a totally enclosed body, If I remember right. The shell and the body aren't separate parts... If it were a turtle, the dorsal section would be totally ripped up without a backbone.

If it Was a case of animal experimentation, I'd be worried to see what the HELL they were doing...

It's probably a case of someone being bored and playing with Photoshop.

Well no sh1t sherlock, but a turtles body isn't one full fleshy part like that is.
A turtles flesh is attached to the shell, if a turtle is disconnected to that it would be a floppy bloody mess.

Why is it so hard for people to believe that it could be just a decaying dog?
It could have fallen into the water died, the fur came off and as we can see not all of it.
the front is the mouth of the dog which is decaying, it has floppy little dog ears, a dogs tail, little feet, & roundish eyes.
I'm guessing dead lost pug or something along those lines.
I know everyone wants there to be unknown creatures but I really think people are over reacting.
Infact here is another dead washed up decayed dog I found online.

If you look at the orig. photo and that other animal you'll notice the fingers are almost the same.

Huh, this story has been floating on the front page of AOL for a while now. This morning, my mom asked if I seen the story about the strange creature, and this is whn I got word that it finally his the networks.

Alot of people I know are leaning towards it being a hoax. Remember the guy who tried to make a dead monkey look like an alien after he shaved it?

Of all the things, you notice that? ...aaaaand now it's the first thing I see whenever I look at the image. I hope you're happy.

It's just a raccoon.

If it wasn't already decaying and it looked like that, there would be a stronger argument for it being a cryptid.

Get out of my thread! Logic is not allowed!

whatever it is, it's mammalian. Reptiles don't have external man parts. Like Machi said, not a turtle. The body of a turtle/tortoise is their shell, there is no skin between it and a body. No shell, no turtle.

It's sun burned. It has paws, and toe like appendages. We dont know how large it is cos there is nobody by it to give you perspective. IMO, it's a really F***ed up dead dog or raccoon... - just read the article, yeah totally agree it's a coon.

it's like the pic from awhile back of the dead cat washed up in Long Beach. they said it was some freak monster when I know cats are feral there, it got swept out and died.
