The Mysterious Montauk Monster
A strange creature has washed up on the shores of Long Island Beach in Mountak, New York. The only evidence of it’s supposed existence, however, is this solitary picture.
The people who found the strange creature say they don’t know what became of the corpse. They claim after they had a chance to photograph it, a man came along and took the rotting carcass away. Who was this mysterious man? That remains a mystery as well. This is leading a lot of people to believe this is an elaborate hoax.
Many wildlife experts have examined the picture and say it could be the mangled corpse of a dog, coyote, turtle… the list goes on. What it boils down to is that nobody really knows. Some people even go as far to say the government is responsible for this genetic mutation (there is a military base near by).
As of now, the body of this strange creature has not been found. Elaborate hoax? Government project gone awry? Who knows, but that thing sure is strange.

i actually saw this today while stumbling and i believe that this is sadly not a monster but someone who is a monster did this. it seems more likely to be the body of a dog such as a boxer or a pitbull. i have two boxers and can say if you look at it and compare it you can make a resemblance. also if you look at the front legs they seem to be died which suggests it was alive and drowned. i have seen some skeletons of boxers and similiar dogs nd they also look like the body so sadly i believe this to be a dog drowned by some lowlife. hopefully i will be proven wrong in the future

The dog theory makes sense. It could also be an animal of some sort that was naturally genetically mutated. I really doubt it was a sinister plot to create demon seals or something.

Last saturday a tow truck company camare recorded a very strange thing. It looks like A white laser coming from above generating a 3 dimencional thing that moved around the parking lot like it was looking for something.The company is located at 111-59 44ave corona ny. The strange thing went up every time people pass and come down after and keapt looking. Maybe they lost and avanced dog. They had to be extraterestral or future visitors. This had me amazed and thinking since i saw it.I’m breaking my head trying to figure it out.

i am the guest as seen in the above comments just so any other people that comment dn’t thnk i’m someone else lol…
@ glass i agree completely that it isn’t some plan to make war seals or something rediculous like that. i still stand by the theory it is a dog drowned by some asshole but hopefully its an odd new species yet to be discovered speaking that new species are found almost yearly but more then likely its a dog = /
@ anonomous where did you find this out cause i live in queens and know corona and the surrounding areas well so itdoes interest me pls respond

I don’t think it’s a dog. Look at the front ‘paws’ it actually had long thin fingers, dogs don’t have paws like that. And it looks like it has a beak… I have seen many dog skeletons as well and non that I can recall come to a curved point on the top and bottom like that. After looking at this photo for a good twenty minutes the first image that came to mind when I started compairing was a Gryphon… without the wings. But no it was probably some animal that was floating out at sea for a good long while…

Experts say its a raccoon

I saw this story and chose it for a blog. One of the comments was that the “monster” is a sea turtle minus its shell. To me that explains everything except this: “How did it lose its shell?”

Chickenwing, That is the most compelling evidence I have seen yet and it does make a lot of sense now that I see the actual skull and compairison. I did also look this up online, thanks Chickenwing!

To EC: If it was a turtle it would have flippers both in the back and front. A tortoise, which only stays on land and can’t swim, looks nothing like the above picture. Either way, if it was a turtle you wouldn’t see a back or skin like that, meaning so ‘clean’, you’d see a hole and torn shreds of skin as turtles are attached to their shell.

Yeah, i was thinking the whole shell less turtle idea, but isnt the turtles back bone infused with the shell or something like that? so i was looking around and found that pic, and it just made sense, tho who ever did that to that raccoon or what ever it may be is well a monster in there own right.

So we’re thinking someone skinned and tortured a raccoon? Wouldn’t surprise me in the least. What is wrong with the human race?
August 7, 2008 @ 6:20 pm
it is not a hoax or whatever it is just a new creature.
just like any animal…duhhhh…
August 7, 2008 @ 11:34 pm
dude racoons dont have beaks and turtles dont have back legs like that
and the fins on turtles go the other way towards the back of its body
this animal looks like it has elbows
o and dogs dont have beaks either
i think it was some crazy person who put some poor animals together u kno like the rabbits with antlers and stuff and then they took a picture of it and disposed of the body

To Me:
Keep in mind that it looks like the face of this creature looks like it’s been eaten or decomposed slightly. If you reference Chickenwing’s comment and look at the description via the link he put up, you’ll see that it is very similar.

This is a turtle without its shell. Poachers have removed the shell by sawing it off and threw the body in the sea.

MANBEARPIG XD.
I laughed. Hard

i could see it being a huge turtle w/ out it’s shell.
January 22, 2009 @ 10:22 pm
Agreed it is sadly a turtle. The shell was more then likely removed for a soup of some kind. Sick jerks for killing this animal for a stupid soup.
February 25, 2009 @ 11:12 am
As previously mentioned it is not a turtle due to the fact that a turtle’s spine is infused with their shell. Their skin is attached to their shell and if you took the shell off it would be a big mess. The picture above disproves that it is a turtle. I would also like to point out that turtles don’t have visable ears, or ears that are pointed the creature in the picture above DOES have ears.
