Ummm....why hasn't anyone mentioned the Montauk Monster?

Jeff Corwin's take on it. 

I hate the female anchor in this clip.  I'm sure she has much more experience identifying animals than Jeff Corwin

yeah, the tail is all wrong.

I think if it has a tail it isn't really a beaver at all. 

[Xiphias]

I wonder if it tastes like chicken?

Not true...I have seen some really nice tails on shaved beavers...

I wonder if it tastes like chicken?

Not if it is a shaved beaver!  Those have a gamey taste...

It's baaaaack!

Just in time for summer, Long Island's latest fad-slash-biological freak show once again is in all of its bloated, pallid glory.

Reports of a Montauk Monster washing up on a Southold beach are circulating after the montauk-monster.com blog posted pictures and video last week of what looks like a beaked, four-legged animal's carcass.

Nicky Papers, 24, a culinary school student from West Islip who runs the blog, said a couple from Southold contacted him after they saw the carcass on the Founders Landing Park shore last Wednesday.

Does the discovery of a second Montauk Monster make it more believable?

It's worth some investigating.

No, they're both ridiculous.

I've believed all along!

>>2008 LI marathon Papers said he and a friend drove there and saw a 3-foot-long animal corpse with a pointy snout and hoofs lying in the surf.

"It smelled horrible," Papers said. "It's like nothing I've ever seen before. I don't think the pictures do it justice."

Papers said the couple shoved the carcass with a stick into a garbage bag and took it to an undisclosed Southold location.

Attempts to contact the Southold couple were unsuccessful, and Papers said he did not want to reveal their identity without their permission.

Last July, three Montauk friends said they found an animal corpse, eventually dubbed the Montauk Monster, on Ditch Plains Beach.

The new pic just looks like a dog. The "beak" is just the front of the skull protruding from the peeled back skin. Now the first one, still don't know.

[erkishhorde]

The couple that found it took it after letting the Montauk monster website people take pictures.
