Freaky monster corpse found

[CptStern]

Yesterday, Gawker ran what appeared to be a photo of a bloated, leathery animal corpse ? only it was like no animal anyone had seen before. A stout, hairless creature with a beak, claws, and the almond-shaped eyes familiar from renderings of space aliens, it looked, in short, like a monster. Hence the headline: "Dead Monster Washes Ashore in Montauk."

D:

That, my friends, is creepy.

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

Looks like a decomposed dog.

Or viral marketing for:

[Druckles]

Has this been verified by anyone of reasonable standards?

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

Of course not, and they only have a shot from one angle. They debunked this pretty quick on SA, hold on Ill find the images.


edit:

Its a dog.

 

[CptStern]

with a beak?

 

[Raziaar]

If anything like this is ever to be taken seriously, it has to be video documented and autopsied.

 

[Sgt.Tibbs]

Ok, I saw something exactly like this a couple years ago. It's actually just the product of coyotes inbreeding. It's no big deal. It's actually lucky that it managed to get to adulthood like that.

 

[CptStern]

doesnt explain the beak ..coyotes crossbreeding with birds? or possibly a kraken

His front canines and skull are just protruding due to rotting of the front of the mouth and face.

 

[Lizardizzle]

anyone notice it's... hands... tied up? why would they need to be? it's obviously dead.

 

[Stigmata]

My guess was going to be viral marketing for Spore.

 

[The Monkey]

Yeah, it's a rotten dog.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Poor doggie.

 

[CptStern]

it's a wingless griffin you damn skeptics

 

[Tyguy]

My guess was going to be viral marketing for Spore.

Boston was on the brink of shutting down completely when the forces being Aqua Teen Hunger Force were on the brink of their self-proclaimed genius idea. I think most of us know how that turned out.

I'd say Will Wright would have a lovely time explaining this one

 

[CptStern]

not too mention having a rotting corpse potentially contanimating an area just for entertainment purposes

 

[Sgt.Tibbs]

Yummy.

Hey, bacteria need to feed too... :angry:

Segregationist bastards!

 

[lefty]

Looks like a dog with a half-rotted face, what.

 

[Lucid]

That looks absolutely nothing like a dog.

 

[lefty]

Looks like a hairless, bloated dog.

 

[CptStern]

Hey, bacteria need to feed too... :angry:

**** that, that's why god made bleach

 

[Baserape>]

It's a dog that took surfing to new levels.

 

[McGooTheWise]

That outline of the skull kind of makes it look like Cloverfield...

 

[freakyflor]

Damn You Will Wright!

 

[Raziaar]

**** that, that's why god made bleach

Whatever you say, god boy.

 

[Nomad]

Rump roast, anyone?

 

[CptStern]

MADRE DE DIOS ES UN CHUPACABRA

Maldito Chupacabra!!!

 

[Tyguy]

so what's the verdict, bird screwed a dog who screwed a fish...etc?

 

[CptStern]

it's an ESQUILAX

[Remus]

Well from the coments, the best explanation so far is that it's a decomposed nutria.

 

[Raziaar]

How do you know it's not a Fantastipotamus?

 

[Phobie]

WAT
WAT
WAT

That's awesome whatever it is.

 

[Sgt.Tibbs]

It's the true form of a platypus.

 

[mocho loco]

wtf is that? poor thing though

 

[Druckles]

I don't see how it can't be a dog. A half skinned dog's skull might look like a beak from a certain angle.

 

[VirusType2]

beaks don't have teeth ... or else it wouldn't be a beak.

I mean.. correct me if I'm wrong and there exists a creature that has a beak with teeth.


EDIT -

Note: Aves, or birds, have a complete double circulation, oviparous, reproduction, front limbs peculiarly modified as wings; and they bear feathers. All existing birds have a horny beak, without teeth; but some Mesozoic fossil birds (Odontornithes) had conical teeth inserted in both jaws. The principal groups are: Carinat[ae], including all existing flying birds; Ratit[ae], including the ostrich and allies, the apteryx, and the extinct moas; Odontornithes, or fossil birds with teeth.

It's possible, though no beaked creature with teeth still exists.

My opinion? It doesn't even look like a beak. This creature resembles something similar to a rotted dog corpse.

Chickens with teeth.

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

Doesn't even matter, the bottom jaw pretty much exactly matches that of a dog :|

oh gawd guys a beakz. Dead things look different then living things.
