PANAMA CITY – A group of Panamanian teenagers claim to have killed and photographed a monster!
A group of teenagers, ranging from 14 years to 16 years old, were spending time outside in Cerro Azul when they spotted the creature. According to them, it startled them when it suddenly crawled out of a cave.
As it came towards them, they panicked and began to throw things at it. It subsequently died from the injuries inflicted, after which the teenagers ran away.
Apparently they went back to take photos, as they were posted on Telemetro.com
It’s appearance near water and its lack of hair has lead to comparisons to the famous Montauk Monster, a still unsolved creature that washed ashore on Long Island.
However, the ‘paws’ on the monster are leading some to believe it is merely a sloth missing it’s fur.

the long island monster turned out to be a raccoon.

The long island monster's legs were supposedly too long to be a raccoon.. that said genetic mutation could have occurred
September 17th, 2009 at 3:31 am
If it was compared to a sloth it would be a lot slower and would bearly move at all. That being it probably is a new animal or somthing.
September 17th, 2009 at 3:40 am
another one for Occam's razor
September 17th, 2009 at 7:38 am
Why would I believe that this is a foreign object when the photos clearly shows that it is a hairless SLOTH or a Pre-mature hairless ALBINO SLOTH!!!!!!
Clearly I think it is in the SEA-MONSTER FAMILY!!!!!!!!
September 17th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Looks like 3d to me…
September 17th, 2009 at 11:49 am
Well, could b anything but sloths have different “faces”. I believe it’s a kind of mutation.
September 17th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
Definitely its a dead rotten sloth.
September 17th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Looks like a turtle without its shell.
September 17th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
"IF" this is not a hoax, Id go with the mutated and hairless sloth
September 17th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
They found E.T.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
i dont know if it was real, but if it was these panamar kids are idiotic, why on earth would you throw things at it and try to harm it. wouldnt you try an befreind the thing, who knows it could be the beggining of many new creatures similar – leave them alone im sure they are not trying to harm you.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
The long island monster had different legs. Legs with fingers. But it`s wierd cause this creature doesn`t look like beaten to death. There is no blood or something and the kids had just sticks to kill it so it would take some time I think… Very strange…
September 17th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
i think it’s wrong that they even killed it. whatever it was (*if it’s real). a bit of sense would mean just walking away…..
September 17th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
i think it must be a hairless sloth.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
looks like they killed Golum
September 18th, 2009 at 1:07 am
Maybe this animal mutation is because of global warming. Maybe these hairless creature are a creation from our careless attitude to the planet we live in.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:49 am
i reckon we should get myth busters onto it. they will solve it in no time
September 18th, 2009 at 8:22 am
Maybe David Icke's Reptilian invader
September 18th, 2009 at 8:03 am
honestly im going with its a new animal that nobodys has ever seen, not a sloth not a racoon and deff not a turtle… I think god I giving us more life to the world and we keep killing it.. I think its him making futuristic animals just so we would be scrared away and notttt harm them.
September 18th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Why did they beat it to death?
September 18th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Sweet Wounded Jesus — as they would say in Bat Boy The Musical
I'm not sure what it is
September 18th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
If you look closely it has 2 nipples, thus making it a mammal. Also look at the tongue… my money's on a sloth.
September 18th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
How could they have killed it.. that is shocking!!!
It had every right to live as much as we do! Shame on them…
September 18th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
THEY WANNA COVER UP THIS INFORMATION IN PANAMA ITS THE F*** GOVERNMENT
September 18th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
People like to use their imagination when something strange is found. If people would use common sense and look before they leap (or write ) they would recognize all the facts then establish a opinion. Look at the pictures and start comparing them to a sloth. The arms and joints are the same shape and proportions as a sloth, next the claw in the picture is that of a sloth. The neck and head are the same shape form of a sloth. Finally if you look at the one picture you can see that there is fur on the animals lower body that just hasn’t come off yet making this animal not hairless. Use your imagination if you want, it’s great to hope for new discoveries; but I don’t believe this is one of them.
SLOTH !!!!!!!
September 18th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
if this was a new lifeform visiting our planet, then what the kids did was horrible. I am very saddened by this.
September 19th, 2009 at 4:25 am
Why the hell did they kill it?
We could've studied it humanely.
That's just mean.
September 19th, 2009 at 5:20 am
But you never know it could have done somthing to them so the first opption is clear. Its what most humans would do.
September 19th, 2009 at 8:15 am
I'm guessing, if it's not a 3d type of thing, it's either a radiated or a mutant sloth. the claws are 100% sloth claws. the face is all weird. Hey, maybe some psycho tortured this sloth, pull out its hair? or maybe it has been getting chemotherapy. and, i am suure the kids were all evil, the minute they saw the animal they hit it for fun then went home to take their cameras and went back. man, todays kids are all sick.
September 19th, 2009 at 11:14 am
what i know for sure – this creature is very strange. What what tells us about the fact this is a MONSTER?? i do not consider it to be a monster at all.
September 19th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
the poor sloth been rape to death , and the clothes was missing
September 19th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
ALIEN!
World domination! >8D
September 20th, 2009 at 12:07 am
ㅋㅋ 저거 머뉘
September 20th, 2009 at 10:29 am
lol? im a cgartist my self, and by the looks of it I dont sence any 3d here dude, if it is 3d, its top professionel made… its not 3d, believe me
September 20th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
bullllonnnneeeeeeyyyyyyy thats southern for bologna like 14 yr olds are gonna kill this thing and not take pics right after it happened. This thing is bloated has been there for several days. It has layed out in the open and is getting ready to burst from gasses inside it. Looks like a dead animal that has been in the water for some time then washed up on the beach
September 20th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
so yet another creature from the deep?
i guesse there is more where they find it ?!
September 20th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
It's definitely Sloth….. has been dead in the water for quite some time, and lost its hair.
September 21st, 2009 at 11:01 am
i think it must be a hairless Stahre the coach in AIk socerteam.
September 21st, 2009 at 1:34 pm
Supposedly. And that's still not a consensus.
September 21st, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Ya i'm sure thats it ha ha ha
September 21st, 2009 at 9:02 pm
it a pokemon, i believe
September 21st, 2009 at 9:37 pm
I used to live in Panama, I have seen sloths and this thing may be a very mutated sloth.
It's dosent look like one in the shape of the arms,nose or in size, either way it's weird.
September 21st, 2009 at 10:30 pm
GOD ???? yah , thats it ! or Santa Clause put it there ?? oh , that would be silly , Santa isn't real …….
It's a Sloth !
September 21st, 2009 at 8:10 pm
I think that’s a hybrid of different species, this is the result. It’s really scary, whatever. The real question is how this mutation had the intelligence to throw stones .. Should check it out and the lake too!
September 22nd, 2009 at 4:02 am
Seems to me that the sloth has less of a neck and a nose alot like a dog. This thing has a very long skinny neck and not much of a nose.
September 22nd, 2009 at 12:25 pm
no its not, this is obveiously a poor little sloth which has lost most of its hair due to it floting in water, poor thing probably drowned. but if you ask me the shaved off al its hair, and thats exatcly what a hairless sloths head looks like, i saw how the had to like shave off this sloths hair on its face to operate on a facial tumor this was at Sandeago Zoo.
September 22nd, 2009 at 1:26 pm
It's ET!
September 23rd, 2009 at 4:26 am
You morons…who believes kids have the balls to kill something with rocks AND then throw it in the water, only to come back with their parents and find it's now long dead, bloated from water and gases building up inside. The kids are little brat liars. They found a creature, who's hair has decayed and fallen off from sloshing around in the water for who knows how long, then washed up on shore to further decay, rott and swell up like any other animal would do. Apparently, none of you have ever seen what happens to harry animals when they die, get soaked in water and bake out in the hot sun to rot. You all are living in the fucking stone ages. It's morons like you who came up with the cyclops after looking at a cow skull.
September 23rd, 2009 at 5:32 am
Its a Alien
September 23rd, 2009 at 2:05 pm
The monster is pool
September 23rd, 2009 at 11:39 pm
i think that its just not right that it gets all the press about the animal and what it might be instead of the kids who just killed it because it came near them. I don't go around killing animals just because they come near me. And if I did I'm sure that there would be some serious repercussions. I just think people are missing the point that the kids killed this thing and then took pictures of the dead animal and then posted it on the internet and nothings happening to them, as if they can just do what they want. So they might even do it again to something, maybe more domesticated. Like a dog or a cat. I seriously just think that people are missing the point.
September 23rd, 2009 at 11:40 pm
Still though he has a point.
September 25th, 2009 at 12:50 am
i think it's a baby sloth or even a fetus. there's no way to tell the scale from these pictures. but another site has a picture of it a day later after being picked at. and there's grass growing by it. unless it's the biggest patch of grass ever growing out of a crack in the rocks, i think it's small. if you've seen a newborn mouse or cat, you'll notice how they can be nearly or completely hairless. kids probably found it, took extreme closeups and then made up a BS story to get on the news. simple as that.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:16 am
you such an ****** i am Panamanian not a panamar , u ignorant, and i would rather to kill something that i dont know what is and is the size of a chimpanci than letting that thing touching me. you just say that to make yourself look like a manly man but you are not. i bet you still live with your mother and that you are a computer geek. And Panamanian people are not idiotic.
September 27th, 2009 at 2:31 am
im from Panama and i heard on the local news that they founded it after it disappeared and studied it and it was already dead before they beat him with rocks and sticks. Also that it wasn´t a sloth because some kind of goverment organization took it and studied it and the newspaper only got these info…..
" El supuesto mounstro no era un oso perezoso ya que tenia muchas diferencias como que tenia 2 estomagos, solo un pulmon y el craneo es como un combinacion de un ser humano y un oso perezoso y no tenia dientes"
now translated
-the "monster" wasn´t a sloth because it had many features that a sloth don´t have like the fact that it had 2 stomachs and just one lung and also that the skull was like a combination of a human skull and a slth skull
so i´m not pretty sure of what it was but i bet that it was an sloths mutation
September 27th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
anything!realmadrid4ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
well… i think this is a sloth with out hair
maybe this animal have a different DNA than another
September 27th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
The Montauk monster was proven to be the bloated slightly decomposed body of a boxer (dog).
September 28th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
stfu guys… ITS OBVIOUSLY MEW!!!! ;P jk jk, im from panama… and its prolly fake or something, and if its real i would deff go for a sloth
September 29th, 2009 at 4:12 am
Why do you think anyone is doing DNA tests on it? someone would have to claim it first, do you even know how much DNA tests coasts? it's very unlikely tests will be done at all.
September 29th, 2009 at 4:18 am
Farmer kids usually have a disregard for animal life, especially teens, and if they think it poses a threat they wont think twice.
I remember when my classmate killed a cute lil gardener snake in agriculture class, I was so pissed.
He killed it because he thought it was poisonous (the snake) ignorance is a terrible thing, fear spreads from it, when people are afraid, especially testosterone filled teen boys their first reaction is likely to be violent.
September 29th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
shut the fuck up you muppet
September 30th, 2009 at 1:51 am
its like the lochness monster, the yeti, bigfoot, and aliens. the only difference is this one is seen but not believed.
October 11th, 2009 at 3:11 am
Its Roger from American Dad
October 17th, 2009 at 9:39 am
MJ's burial location was never disclosed.
October 20th, 2009 at 12:00 am
It is not a raccoon it`s a sloth.Cam`t u see the nail compared to the sloth
October 24th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Does anyone know how big it was?
November 23rd, 2009 at 11:05 pm
well they said crawlin out of the cave so maybe it was injured or harmed and they just finished the job
November 27th, 2009 at 7:39 am
i reckon that it is a sloth that fell in a river and lost all its hair and then washed up on some creek and crawled its way towards those dicky children whom the hairless mutated sloth seeked sanctuary when then they decided to pulverise it with sticks and rocks it is not some goddly animal that sweet wounded jesus is gifting us with its presence and its not a bloody alien or a turtle without a shell if u realise that thing is too huge and has to long a limbs to be a freakin turtle and i dont exactly recall turtles having a hook for a hand nor a patch of fur on its genital area if it was a turtle it wouldnt almost drown "turtles live in the damn water" also they do not have titties. and why the hell would some1 steal a sloth and shave it but leave patches??
THEREFORE ITS A SLOTH
December 10th, 2009 at 11:30 am
I think a human man had fetish for sloths nd this is the outcome ha ha
December 16th, 2009 at 6:19 am
I'd have to say it's a prank. it has too many other deformities than just the hair loss, including lack of visible teeth, and it doesn't appear to have any fatal injuries, other than it's sheer lack of the former, which I'm sure would have prevented it from growing so large as it had. It should have died very shortly after birth from starvation, or exposed it to predators earlier in life since it lacks camouflage.
This all makes the whole story very unbelievable.
I think, aswell, that even a mutant sloth would act like the rest of it's species and live in trees.
December 22nd, 2009 at 9:48 pm
It's Mewtwo.
December 23rd, 2009 at 3:38 am
it is a hoax because its a hairless sloth
December 23rd, 2009 at 10:47 am
you are talking about the credibility of some 15 year olds…. odds are they found it like it is in the photos, dead. They wanted to tell an exciting tale about defeating a monster.
December 23rd, 2009 at 10:58 am
…Clearly a sloth.
To those of you posting comments about how cruel these kids are for killing it. Let's take a look at the story, it came out of a cave and seemed threatening so they killed it…. Really? I can't imagine this sloth crawling around in a cave or ever appearing as a threat. It's not hairless, the photos clearly show that, and no these kids did not shave it. The hair loss can be explained very simply by it being tossed around in the water. More then likely, a few kids stumbled upon this creature and made up a heroic story about slaughtering a vicious cave monster. Still confused? lemme put it in one sentence. Water logged sloth found by children. The end. A story about as thrilling as a rotten raccoon mistaken for a turtle.
December 28th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Das ist kein Faultier ein Faultier hat haare
Das seiht aus als wäre es der fohrfahre vom faultier
ich finde so ein tier schöner wenn es lebt auch wenn es gruselig erscheint
January 5th, 2010 at 4:28 am
dogs have 6 nipples that just boggles my mind lol
January 5th, 2010 at 4:29 am
if something like that ran up to you would you not be freaked out? it is sort of a reflex in human nature.
January 5th, 2010 at 4:32 am
i just realized that this is weekly world news, the company that makes fake newspapers… soab!!! but still this is on other sites so maybe…
January 5th, 2010 at 4:27 am
i for one believe that it is a new animal but people have to investigate and use occams razor to see if it is the simplest thing such as a guy in a suit.
January 6th, 2010 at 5:21 am
It did say that it approached them……
Frankly, I'd be pretty scared too if that thing started crawling at me- but I'd probably run away screaming at the top of my lungs rather than get close enough to attack it!
Shame that they killed it
January 6th, 2010 at 11:55 pm
i belive this is actually not an animal i think its alien of some sort or a new species growing on earth
January 7th, 2010 at 6:11 am
For all those who think its a sloth, I don't claim to have anything other than the computer and internet image searches on the subject, but am I the only one who seems to have looked at hundreds of pics of sloths and noticed that the noses, eyes and mouth of this thing and sloths are different??? Not to mention the neck and arm size and darkness around sloths eyes and noses. There may be another explanation, such as we read in the news every now and then that new species have been found by scientists.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:29 pm
Just cus it has nipples doesnt mean shit lol
January 22nd, 2010 at 9:51 pm
i don't know what it is but i wish some one would find out
