Montauk Monster: Property of the USDA?
Associated content.com ^ | July 30th, 2008 | By Carol Bengle Gilbert,

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?

In it’s final act of defiance, it flips the world off!

What’s with that cravat tied to that same “arm”? Looks like it’s tied off with a square knot!

HMMMMM!

Weird. They don’t give any size to the animal.

I don’t recall any of the dog’s skeletons I’ve seen remotely looking like that . . . not those kind of teeth, not the curved beak kind of upper part.

Okay, did a little more looking around, there’s a site that thinks it’s viral campaign for a crytids television show on the Cartoon Network (”cryptidsarereal.com”). I’d lay my money on that.

The beak is nothing but the exposed nasal septum. I’m guessing that if that thing had all its hair and soft flesh attached, it’d be easily recognized.

There is no beak on that thing, and the teeth are actually quite normal looking.

There is no beak on that thing, and the teeth are actually quite normal looking for a pig. So that’s my guess. If that’s a long tail behind it, I’d obviously be rong, but I believe it’s a partly buried hind leg. The “beak” is a nasal septum: that I’m quite sure of.

I think you’re right about the snout, but the structure of the jaw and teeth is all wrong for a dog. I’m guessing a pig.

Perhaps you could find some anatomy texts or other pics from the net to verify your contentions??

That’s not a jack-a-lope with its antlers broken off, is it?

I don’t immediately come up with pics of a pig in that state of partial decomposition. But notice the oversized incisors on the lower jaw, the gap between the incisors and the molars, the difference in color between the “beak” and the skull (cartlidge color!), and the fact that the “beak” is in fact, much more narrow than the jaw. And you tell me that hof is anything other than a pigs’!

My only problem is that the portion of the skull anterior to the eyes seems awfully short for a pig.

It has 3 hind legs? Sorry, that's a tail.
