Yikes! Reminds me a bit of those things in that movie Tremors. Sometimes extinction is not such a bad thing, eh?

I would classify it as an ancestor of ET.

It’s not from this planet.

When these scientists are done investigating the Tully monster, I wish they’d try to identify the thing I saw in the New England woods last fall. I have nightmares about it to this day.

For such an ugly, clumsy and repelling creature, it has a comforting name; The Tully Monster. You almost expect it to be
wearing a grey plaid, cardigan sweater and smoking a pipe.
No word on how it reproduced. Must have been asexual,similar to a snail. Who would date a Tully Monster? Not even an Eel.

Looks like something that might be found in the pedoPIG’s diaper.... /s

That could be the clearest picture of Snatchrotz on record.

I didn’t see this noted in the article, but the size of the creature was 3” to 15.”

Might be a good name for a new show, the Tele-Tully monster hour.

Folks,

Classification is a very artificial process. But it can be useful to understand the world.

Classification of nematodes involved the cutting the rear end off and pressing flat on a slide and looking at the patterns.

I often thought sitting humans on a copy machine and classifying by patterns would be a good idea.

Much better classification than skin color or head measurements.

I'm not saying it's alien, but...

“... the thing I saw in the New England woods last fall.”

Could have been worse...summer in a nudist colony.

Based on thousands of specimens.

It was fairly plentiful at the time.

About 6 inches to a foot long.

and very tasty

OMg! It’s Big Tongue!

That is the goofiest looking thing.
