More Montauk Monster
Well more photos of the “Montauk Monster” have been published. Now these new photos look like they were taken at a totally different time of day than the original photo (and quite possibly with a different camera as well).
Here’s one of the new photos:
While we originally blurted out “turtle” – this obviously is not a turtle! Plus our commenter John pointed out how it could not be a turtle as a turtle’s spine is attached to its shell. Thanks for the information John!
You can see the rest of the photos at Cryptomundo.
Now this – well after further examination – looks like a bloated decaying dog.

I think, having seen the new pictures of the “Montauk monster” that this animal belongs to the species of Sus Scrofa, or in other words, a wild boar (male hog).
It must have drowned somewhere, perhaps taken by a riverflow or something. But probably it has been shot and the poor creature tried to escape from its hunters. Apparently it has been in water for a long time.
The snout is totally gone, and therefore the ‘beak’ is nothing but the front of the skull sticking out of the remaining flesh. The large front teeth fit also. Hogs are dog-like and can be very fat also. There’s even a little bit of grey hair on the body. Everybody, just find some pictures on Google and you’ll see this is it. take a look at:
