PANAMA’S MONTAUK MONSTER?


panamas_montauk_monster

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.

    Does anyone know how big it was?

    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

    I think a human man had fetish for sloths nd this is the outcome ha ha

    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.

    It's Mewtwo.

  10. Dark Ace says:

    it is a hoax because its a hairless sloth

  11. The Obvious says:

    …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.

  13. rther says:

    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…

  14. rther says:

    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.

  15. sam says:

    i belive this is actually not an animal i think its alien of some sort or a new species growing on earth

  16. FlyyGuyy says:

    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.

  17. guest says:

    Just cus it has nipples doesnt mean shit lol

  18. ketta says:

    i don't know what it is but i wish some one would find out

  19. Rascal says:

    this is sad
    "aah, we dont know what it is! Lets kill it"
    poor thing

  20. gloria says:

    I would say sloth, but what ever it is somebody needs to beat those kids ass' for killing it and charge them animal cruelty and make their parents pay a fine for the kids being so stupid. 14 to 16 year old children should know better.

  21. bbbb says:

    get it to a lab and do research thats awsome

  22. Shanna says:

    That ain't no freaking sloth it's similar but not all the way. And did you notice that it didn't have any bruises or cuts on the body? And just to metion that it might not even be real. I think it could be and if it was living (sloth or monster) it had no way to defend itself (even if the STUPID kids say is was going to attack them) some scientists say that it was a fetis (a.k.a. an infantbaby). And just think, if that was the baby and that big think how big the parents are.

  23. carissa says:

    this thing in panama is probably a sloth, people just like the thought of new and outa-this-world stuff. but as far as montauk monsters, i dont know what to think. has anyone actually ran tests on the bodies? and what ever happened to the corpses? i think it is something from plum island, or the federal government doing freaky experiments. when the bodies came up they take over and try to cover up. i'd like to see some answers

  24. josh says:

    how could they kill it. it may have not been dangerous

  25. Norbi says:

    this sloth is horrible!!!
