Montauk MonsterThis is a featured page

On the morning of 30th July 2008, a monster has apparently washed up on the beach at Montauk, NY.

Montauk Monster - Mythical Creatures and Beasts

Photographs have been released of the bizarre carcass of an unknown creature, hairless, with flippers, teeth and what appears to be a beak.

Well, I'm as much an expert on never-before-seen sea monsters as anyone, so here's what I think. It's either an unknown species, a mutation, something created by evil geniuses in a lab or a hoax. Or a space alien.
In order of unlikeliness...

Unknown species - highly unlikely. For a creature this size to have never been seen before would be amazing, especially as it appears to be mammalian, so it would live around the surface of the sea.

A mutation - very unlikely. For something to mutate this much and yet still live long enough to grow to what seems at least a couple of feet long would take some seriously weird stuff - like being bitten by a radio-active sea-spider or something.

Something created by evil geniuses in a lab - pretty unlikely. I just don't think science is at a stage where we can create our own animals to order.

A hoax - most likely. Just because that's what people like to do. It's kind of cool, though.

If it's a space alien, then what's it doing dead on a beach? Did it fall out of the saucer's hatch when they were buzzing the Hamptons looking for someone to abduct?

POTENTIAL UPDATE!!

We've received a lot of different theories about what exactly the Montauk Monster really is (a monster). But one tipster went to so much trouble to assemble a very interesting montage of photos—complete with key encircled highlight areas—that we feel we must bring you their work. "All in all I believe this is no 'monster' or 'Satan' simply a case of mistaken identity," the tipster writes. The monster is not Satan? Ridiculous, we know. But when you get a load of the included X-ray, well, it certainly gives the misguided nonbelievers something to think about.

See below the photo presentation in favor of what we are now calling "The Vole Theory":

Montauk Monster II

Below are two pictures of the second specimen found. (Thought it might help as a visual aid instead of referring to it in the threads as "they found a second one.") There are still no legitimate claims to the "animals" and scientists/researchers, etc. are still trying to figure out what exactly they are or could be. Any theories or suggestions? Some of the popular ones as of late are dead American Pitbull, mutated pig, genetic experiment gone wrong, and so on and so forth.
