    Default Monster washes up on Shore near Long Island

    Good luck with your hell demons, horrible things, monsters, lizzie grubman, long island, top
    Dead Monster Washes Ashore in Montauk

    No, Lizzie Grubman's still alive. This is an actual monster, some sort of rodent-like creature with a dinosaur beak. A tipster says that there is "a government animal testing facility very close by in Long Island," but unless the government is trying to design horrible Montauk monsters that will eat IEDs and fart fire at bad Iraqis, we're not sure why they would create such an unthinkable beast. Our guess is that it's viral marketing for something. Ali Lohan's new album perhaps. Click thru for larger dino-damage.

    It could be a dog which has had his face eaten off.

    I need more pictures.

    A sea turtle with no shell?

    Montauk Monster: Property of the USDA?
    Associated content.com ^ | July 30th, 2008 | By Carol Bengle Gilbert,
    Posted on Wednesday, July 30, 2008 11:50:00 AM by Perdogg
    An unknown creature that washed up on the beach in Montauk, New York, has been dubbed the "Montauk Monster" and captivated the American imagination.
    Speculation about the identity of the Montauk Monster is rampant. Many skeptical Americans believe that the Montauk Monster a publicity stunt. The most conspiracy-minded are sure the Montauk monster is detritus from a sinister government operation. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)-operated Plum Island animal testing facility is nearby, fueling the belief that the USDA is responsible; some would see the Montauk Monster as a hideous USDA experiment gone wrong while others might consider it a not -so-unexpected byproduct of animal experimentation. The simplest explanation might be that the Montauk Monster is a natural mutation of some sort of ordinary Earth animal, but which one?

    Don't think it is a dog. And I had the same thought about a tortoise without a shell.

    Bizarre. I'd like to see a better pic of the forelegs. From the wrist forward the paw looks... I don't know. Extended. Almost like an elongated hand.

    How would you have liked to stumble upon that with the kids while beachcombing?

    Was reading a thread on this over on ARFCOM and both those hypotheses were posted.

    Rebuttals to those were:

    1) Can't be a dog with the facial bones partly eaten as crabs and fish would eat the remaining soft fleshy parts first before hard bone and cartilage.

    2) Sea turtles and turtles in general cannot lose their shell as it is fused to their bone structure.

    General consensus there, and I agree, is that it is likely some sort of viral marketing stunt with a latex creature.

    OR... it could be a real creature, something we've never seen before, a mutant turtle?

    It looked pretty real, but who took the images, and are there more images? Are there witnesses to this thing? Did the authorities pick it up and dispose of, or turn over to science?

    Hmm

    Kinda looks like it has a tail, and it kinda looks like some brown cloth is wrapped around its arm.

    I don't know what it is, but it looks like it's giving us 'The Finger'.

    >> Sea turtles and turtles in general cannot lose their shell as it is fused to their bone structure.<<

    I knew this. I've kilt my share of turtles. Just crash open the shell with a rock and guts leak out. I have issues with snappers...they plague ponds and waterways where I grew up. I tried to skin a few to no avail.

    Truth be told, at first I thought a shell-less sea turtle was the most likely explanation. I hadn't known exactly how the shell related to the turtle's structure before reading about it.

    Here's a bigger picture. Note the fly on its back and you can use that as a size reference. This thing looks no bigger than a rat which is certainly no stranger to New York.



    And an interesting picture of a typical raccoon skull transposed onto the picture...


    And here is what is supposed to be another new picture of it. Not sure if it really is a picture of the same thing as it looks different...
